About this listen

Oi legends, back on the mics after a wild week in the fight world.

We kick off with a full recap of UFC Paris, where the French delivered carnage. Only two decisions on the entire card, the rest? Straight KOs.

  • Paul Craig got absolutely ironed out at the buzzer, brutal hellbow.

  • BSD made Ruffy look like he’d never seen a mat, got the tap and made it look easy.

  • Caio vs Imavov was a proper scrap, high level, but with a couple of cheeky eye pokes that stirred the pot.

Then we look ahead to UFC Noche, solid card, not a PPV, but there’s value if you know where to punt.
We drop a few Piestrong punts too, have a crack (or don’t, we’re not your financial advisor).

📢 Fight Announcements:

  • Pantoja vs Van locked for Dec 6 at UFC 323

  • Islam vs JDM?? What the hell is happening

  • Zhang vs Shev, Prates vs Edwards, Hooker vs Arman

  • Topuria vs Almakhan, Yadong vs O’Malley, and yeah Costa’s apparently fighting the “one-eyed bloke”

  • Reports say Ilia’s out till 2026 rough scenes

🗞️ MMA News and it’s chaos as usual:

  • Strickland gets roasted

  • Danis and Rockhold throw hands at the weigh-in, now Danis reckons DC’s next

  • Jamie Foxx opens up about the Tyson biopic

  • Volk lands a movie gig, Cejudo arrested, Anderson Silva wins a lawsuit

  • Bo Nickel slander, Pico KO’d into a 6-month layoff, and Merab’s calling out Petr Yan

  • Oh, and Colby wants in on the White House card

  • Gordon Ryan says a year with DDP and he’s ready for Khamzat, okay mate

🔥 Hot Take of the Week:
Who’s the most disliked fighter in the UFC right now... and why is it Belal?

🥋 CJI Recap to wrap it up:

  • Day 1 had solid grappling but way too much stalling, bit of a letdown

  • CJ threw $50K per sub on Day 2 to get things moving, and it worked

  • B-Team got the dub, but it wasn’t without drama

  • The money guys handed New Wave $1M, even though CJ didn’t want it, got overruled

  • Helena dominated the women’s division and took home $100K

  • And the open scoring in the women’s matches? Honestly sick. UFC should seriously look at it

Press play, grab a cold one, and let’s get into it.
