I don’t know if you guys have heard but there are some pretty major fights happening this coming weekend.

But aside from that I’m recording a collaborative episode with another analyst th...

UFC 308

Is Ilia Topuria the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport? Is Khamzat Chimaev the most worthy title challenger at middleweight? Is Magomed Ankalaev a complete moron? These questions and many mo...

The Current State of Flyweight (part 3?) and other fights I wanna' talk about!

Is it really 'part 3' of 'The Current State of flyweight' or have I done more? Anyway, covering all sorts from Royval-Taira to Francis Ngannou's last fight (and next move!) to this past weekends Ap...

Podcasts this week!

Hello to all of you! Just to give you a preview of what you can expect this week.

First, at some point before Saturday there are four key bouts I want to discuss (3 x MMA, 1 x boxing) so you ...

Beterbiev is King! Was Bivol robbed?

What a beautiful fight Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol gave us, both answering all questions that any discerning fight fan might've had going into their unification bout. But who deserved to win <...

The Guide to Pride 1....UPDATE!

Morning all!

Thanks for your patience with what has proven a much larger project than I originally envisioned.

After years of research, hours of conversations (some which will make it i...

UFC 307

Pereira-Rountree was every bit as violent as I'd hoped, but there were some interesting things going on that elevated it beyond the slobberknocker I envisioned. The women's 135lb division is taking...

UFC Paris and Takeru gets off the deck to win

I talk about a handful of fights I found pretty darn interesting from this weekends UFC card in Paris, before heading on over to the East to judge where Takeru is at after an unexpectedly difficult...

Dubois destroys AJ

As the title says! But how did he do it and why did AJ not offer any answers? It felt like a big fight going into it and completely lived up to expectations, with Daniel Dubois exceeding the expect...

UFC 306 / Joshua vs. Dubois preview & prediction

We have a NEW champ in one of the deepest divisions in mixed martial arts. But is that a good thing and is the new champ worthy of that distinction? Unfortunately there was definitely only one titl...

Naoya Inoue & The Exhibitionists

First off, a couple of big fights that took place in Japan earlier today. And then to end the episode, a couple of big names that have 'competed' in Japan themselves in recent years, as I ...

The delay…

…is calculated! The previous episode I wrote about is still coming, but I thought I might as well wait for Naoya Inoue to blast T.J Doheny inside of a couple of rounds first!

New episode coming this week…

will be about two all-time great boxers taking part in some weird and…well, not really wonderful bouts in their twilight years. Coming in the next couple of days.

UFC 305

I think the main takeaway from DDP-Adesanya is that we really learned who both men truly are. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below if you agree with my takeaways from this ...

Crawford edges past Madrimov / Umar emerges at 135

Did Cory Sandhagen get too smart? Is Shara Bullet even worth talking about? Is 'Bud' Crawford past his best? Is Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Jose Aldo the fight to make next? This and more, on this bonu...

UFC 304

Leon Edwards could only deny his nature for so long and because of it we now have a NEW champion at 170lbs. Can't remember the winners name though, strangely enough. Hear me run down the full main ...

Getting to know...Edwin Valero

The second installment of the 'Getting to know...' series is about one of modern boxing's most notorious knockout artists, and perhaps the only world champion who will ever retire undefeated with a...

The 'Golden Age' of Japanese bantamweights

Tenshin! Takei! Nakatani! Nishida! And...umm..Takuma Inoue?

Okay, well maybe not that last one but Japanese boxers are dominating one of boxing's flagship divisions right now. I look ahead to...

A big fight on the horizon for Bam?/ Van gets a lesson

Fernando Martinez showed out as one of the best super-flyweights on the planet with a very impressive win over lower-weight mainstay Kazuto Ioka, but more importantly marked himself as a potential ...

Two insane scorecards…

…from boxing in the last 24-hours. I’ll try and get a podcast out on them later this week!

Bam Rodriguez is top 4 P4P / UFC 303

As expected, LOADS to talk about on this glorious Sunday morning. Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez staked his claim as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing with an electric win over modern legen...

The 10 Best Boxing Bouts of the 2010s

I'm joined by Dan Albert to countdown our own personal lists of the best boxing bouts of the last decade. And despite ...

Coming later this week….

Fights I wanna' talk about!

Bobby Knuckles twats Ikram Aliskerov early doors, Tatsuro Taira makes me look a bit stupid (which I'm sure is your favourite genre of podcast) and some boxing to talk about as well! It's a rambly e...

This week!

We’ve got Bobby Knuckles versus Khamzat Chima…ah, well, Ikram Aliskerov is not the worst replacement, so should be enough to talk about.

Also, I’ll be running down the top 10 greatest b...

UFC 302 & Queensbury Rules

A couple of fights worth talking about from UFC 302 (including that exhilarating main event!) before I move onto the mainly entertaining Saudi boxing card last night as Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren...
