Carlos Prates sent a strong message to the top of the UFC welterweight division, and the promotional brass, as he ran through Jack Della Maddalena in the main event of UFC Perth and he made it look easy doing it.

Following Saturdau's UFC Perth card at RAC Arena, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to the Fight Night event, Prates' phenomenal performance, if a title fight is next for "The Nightmare," or if anything else makes more sense.

Beneil Dariush grew up in a Christian environment but lived driven by a deep desire for strength, success, and winning above all else. As his life became consumed by ambition and pressure, he found himself empty and searching—until, in a moment of desperation, he cried out to God and began encountering Him in a real and personal way. In this testimony, Beneil shares how Jesus transformed his identity, redirected his purpose, and showed him a life far greater than anything success in the world could offer.Please consider donating towards our ministry

In this episode of the Street Gospel Podcast, we sit down with UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush for a real and honest conversation about faith, fighting, and full surrender.Born in Iran and raised in the United States, Beneil grew up knowing about Christ—but it wasn't until later in life that he truly gave his life to Jesus. Driven by a win-at-all-costs mentality, he rose through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and into elite MMA, chasing victory, discipline, and success at the highest level.Along the way, God began to shift his priorities—from chasing wins to walking in obedience. Today, Beneil is just as bold about his faith as he is in the cage.This episode is a powerful testimony of what it looks like to lay everything down for Christ—no matter the cost.

SleepyJ and Mean Gene talk UFC betting for UFC 322 Madalena vs Makachev headlines a stacked UFC 322 card from MSG, with Sleepy J and Mean Gene breaking down eight fights. They agree early on Erin Blanchfield vs Tracy Cortez, both backing Blanchfield due to improved striking, strength, and ability to control exchanges despite Cortez winning their pre-UFC meeting. They also align on Roman Kopylov as a live underdog over Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues, citing Rodrigues' shaky chin, tendency to brawl despite having grappling advantages, and Kopylov's power and durability after facing an elite Paulo Costa. Next, both pick Bo Nickal over Rodolfo Vieira, expecting Nickal to lean on his elite wrestling in a measured, mistake-free game plan after his setbacks, likely controlling the ground without risking unnecessary stand-up exchanges. Their first disagreement comes with Beneil Dariush vs Benoit Saint-Denis: Gene picks BSD, trusting his pressure, power, and revived momentum, while Sleepy prefers Dariush's superior skill and grappling if he can avoid big shots. Another split follows with Carlos Prates vs Leon Edwards; Sleepy sides with Edwards' championship experience and durability, while Gene believes Prates' relentless forward pressure and destructive power will break Edwards as others have recently. They reunite on Sean Brady over Michael Morales, expecting Brady's grappling, control, and veteran savvy to neutralize Morales' explosive striking and deliver a “vet lesson” in a key contender matchup. In the co-main event, Gene backs Zhang Weili moving up for two-division glory, praising her evolution, volume, and ability to capitalize on Shevchenko's occasional grappling mistakes, while Sleepy takes Valentina Shevchenko as the stronger, cleaner, more technical striker with superior size and takedown defense. In the main event, both predict Islam Makachev dominates Jack Della Maddalena early, with Makachev's wrestling, control, and improved striking overwhelming a dangerous but out-classed champion who still has defensive gaps against elite grapplers. They expect an early submission or dominant finish as Makachev pursues champ-champ status. The show wraps with confidence in the card's quality, a few strategic disagreements to help bettors evaluate both sides, and reminders to use code HOOK50 at Pregame. Learn more about your ad choices.

En ouverture de carte principale de l'UFC 322, Benoit St-Denis affronte Beneil Dariush dans un sacré choc lightweight !
On Episode 3,609, the guys recapped UFC in Rio, went over all the latest news, and had an interview with Beneil Dariush.
Benoit St-Denis affrontera Beneil Dariush lors de l'UFC 322 à New York !
UFC 317 delivered in a big way with highlight-reel finishes, breakout performances, and a star-making moment for Ilia Topuria — and guest co-host Kevin Iole is on the mic with Matt Serra (while Jim Norton is out) to break it all down. The episode kicks off with featherweight knockout artist Jose Miguel Delgado, fresh off a 26-second finish of Hyder Amil. The Arizona native talks about training with elite teammates at MMA Lab and explains why he's calling his shot for a clash with William Gomis at September's Noche UFC card. Matt and Kevin then react to Topuria's viral knockout of Charles Oliveira and what it means for the future of the lightweight division. Later, undefeated welterweight Jacobe Smith joins the show to break down his submission win over veteran Niko Price — the first of his career. The 29-year-old reflects on his All-American wrestling days at Oklahoma State and how Coach Sayif Saud has helped mold him into a complete mixed martial artist. To close it out, the guys share their biggest takeaways from UFC 317 — including Beneil Dariush's bounce-back win and the record-setting flyweight war between Joshua Van and Brandon Royval before Kevin reflects on officially retiring from writing after an extraordinary 46-year run covering combat sports.
Ilia Topuria is the new UFC lightweight champion after viciously knocking out Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 317 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Topuria faced off with rival Paddy Pimblett following the victory, and while it may not be the meritocratic way to go about things, is this the fight to make for Topuria's first title defense? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Topuria after winning his second divisional UFC world title, along with who Oliveira could face in his next outing. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for flyweight champ Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Kara-France following Pantoja's submission win, Joshua Van after his win over Brandon Royval in a Fight of the Year contender, along with fellow main card winners Beneil Dariush, Payton Talbott, and more.

Jim and Matt gear up for UFC 317 with a pair of lightweight contenders from Saturday's card joining the show. First, Beneil Dariush returns for his 12th Unfiltered appearance to reflect on his 18-month layoff and the road back after a tough 2023. He opens up about how fatherhood and a reset in training helped center him, and why the Moicano matchup feels like the right fight at the right time. In between guests, Matt reveals what might be the greatest honor of his post-fighting life — leaving Jim to question whether anything in his own career can even come close (sarcasm may or may not be involved). Then, fan-favorite Terrance McKinney stops by to talk about life after recently getting married, evolving under new coaches at Fusion X-Cel, and what a win over Viacheslav Borschev could mean for his momentum. He also shares thoughts on teammate Phil Rowe and how he's balancing his trademark explosiveness with a new focus on patience. Finally, the guys break down the UFC 317 main card, headlined by a can't-miss title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira, and lock in their predictions for the weekend.
