Saturday, June 4, 2016 was a red-letter day in the history of UK mixed martial arts, as England’s Michael Bisping stepped off a movie set on just 17 days’ notice and stunned Luke Rockhold to capture the undisputed UFC middleweight champion at UFC 199.The event was the culmination of Bisping’s career-long quest to capture UFC gold. It was a quest that many had written off years prior. His devastating knockout loss to Dan Henderson at UFC 100 led many to consider Bisping as a busted flush at the highest level.Knockouts that big change fighters forever, and rarely for the better. But Bisping bounced back and, after enduring a string of setbacks – including losing the sight in his right eye – he managed to defeat the man he’d been chasing for years, former middleweight champ Anderson Silva. For many – including me, if I’m honest – that seemed like the perfect time for Bisping to retire. He’d landed a fight against the man who was champion through so much of his career, and he beat him. But for Bisping it was never about the identity of the champion. It wasn’t even about earning a title shot. It was about winning the belt.When that chance finally came, it arrived in far from ideal circumstances as he was offered the chance to step in on just over two weeks’ notice to face Rockhold, the man who had so decisively finished him two years earlier.Bisping took his chance with both hands, arrived in LA looking remarkably relaxed, won over the fight fans in California, then knocked out Rockhold in stunning fashion to complete his dream of becoming a UFC champion. On this special edition of The Brit Pack, I take a look back at that crazy fight week in LA as I made the short-notice trip to California to cover Bisping as he became the first (and still only) British fighter to win a UFC title. It was a remarkable wee and a spectacular night and you can recap it all, via my own experiences that week, in this pod. This is a public episode.

Could it be possible that a British fighter just locked up 2022’s Fight of the Year, Round of the Year AND Comeback of the Year honours in the space of just one round? Liam Harrison’s incredible comeback against the “Elbow Zombie” Muangthai at ONE 156 was one of the highlights from an absolutely packed week of action as the world’s top promotions all put on a show (or, in Bellator’s case, two shows) for fight fans across the globe.On the first episode of our post-weekend recap show, “The Rundown,” I take a look back at the biggest and best moments from a superb week of fights, starting with the PFL’s 2022 season curtain-raiser in Texas, continuing with ONE Championship's event in Singapore and Bellator’s double-header in Hawaii, and finishing with the UFC Fight Night event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.There’s also a little housekeeping, as I bring you bang up to date with developments with The Brit Pack, and what you can expect in the coming weeks and months.

Oh, what a night! After three years away, the UFC returned to London, where a card packed with the cream of British fighting talent, backed by 18,000 raucous fans, blew the roof off the O2 Arena on a memorable night in the English capital.The Brit Pack was on the ground at UFC London, with Sandhu working as part of the BT Sport team, and Simon covering the event as part of a packed media corps – and the event surpassed all expectations to deliver an event that might just have been the best UFC show ever staged on these shores.With the dust finally settled on a spectacular night, and with Sandhu somewhere over the Atlantic on his way home, Simon got behind the mic to fly solo for a bumper UFC London post-fight recap as he shares his thoughts from his experience watching the action from cageside at the O2 Arena.We also hear from some of the night’s big winners, with post-fight press conference audio from Tom Aspinall, Arnold Allen, Paddy Pimblett, and Paul Craig. By way of a bonus, we’ve also tacked Dana White’s croaky, but happy, post-fight presser onto the very end of the show.It means this week’s edition is a biggie. But, after the biggest night of fights we’ve seen in the UK for years, we think it’s worth it.

Tyson Fury proved that he isn’t just the best heavyweight in the world. “The Gypsy King” proved that he’s the best heavyweight of his era as he knocked out longtime rival Deontay Wilder in the 11th round of their epic trilogy fight in Las Vegas to retain his WBC and The Ring heavyweight world titles.One half of The Brit Pack was there, and Sandhu recaps his experience of fight night in Sin City – including the remarkable way he ended up actually watching the fight – on this week’s show.We also take a look back at the UFC Fight Night main event from last weekend as Marina Rodriguez defeated Mackenzie Dern, then swiftly called out Joanna Jedrzejczyk, before looking ahead to a double-header of UFC and Bellator action this coming weekend.But, Fury-Wilder 3 aside, the boys were most excited about the breaking news that dropped moments before they hit record, as Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards reportedly agreed to a blockbuster grudge match at UFC 269 on December 11.It all means there was plenty for the lads to pick over on this week’s episode, and you can check it all out, right here!

One of the biggest fight nights of 2021 is set to go down in Las Vegas on Saturday, October 9, and The Brit Pack will have boots on the ground in Sin City for Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3.Sandhu will be making the trip down from Toronto, Canada to Las Vegas, Nevada for the huge WBC heavyweight title clash as he makes his first foray into live event coverage since the start of the pandemic.Sandhu’s trip follows hot on the heels of Simon’s first such assignment, as he reported back on a big night of fights at the SSE Arena, Wembley, for Bellator 267, as Michael “Venom” Page edged a split-decision verdict in his rematch with former three-time welterweight champion Douglas Lima.On this week’s show, the pair look back at fight night in London, and cast their thoughts toward Fury-Wilder 3. There’s also time to look back at UFC Vegas 38, (including a controversial finish to the co-main event between Kevin Holland and Kyle Daukaus) and look ahead to a pivotal bout for the women’s strawweight division as Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez face of in the main event of UFC Vegas 39.Enjoy the show, and don’t forget to rate and review us!

The Brit Pack is back to recap a packed weekend of MMA action and look ahead to a pivotal event for a host of British fighters at the UFC Apex.First, we look back at the final round of PFL Playoffs, as England’s Brendan Loughnane agonisingly lost out on a place in the final via split decision to Russian contender Movlid Khaybulaev.Then we move on to the action at the UFC Apex as Giga Chikadze delivered a stellar performance to defeat veteran striker Edson Barboza and announce himself as the featherweight division’s newest contender.We also give our reaction to the previous night’s event in Cleveland, Ohio, as Jake Paul continued his unbeaten start to life as a professional boxer with a split-decision win over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Should people still doubt “The Problem Child,” or should he get more respect than he’s receiving? Also, what did we make of Woodley’s performance, and subsequent pleas for a rematch?Finally, we look ahead to UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex as England’s own Darren Till gets set to headline in a crucial bout for his middleweight title quest when he takes on the in-form Derek Brunson on a card featuring a host of Brits.It’s a packed show, and it’s all yours, right here.

This week has been crazy for us here at The Brit Pack, with both of us still reeling from the news of the impending disaster of “The Super League” in European football. But, thankfully, while the footballing world is in meltdown, the world of combat sports is in rude good health.On this week’s show, we take a quick look back at Bellator 257 and UFC on ESPN 22 before discussing the most talked-about combat sports event of the past weekend, the Triller Fight Club event headlined by Jake Paul, who TKO’d Ben Askren in the night’s main event.That clears the way for our preview of UFC 261, where we discuss the three big title fights on the card, as Valentina Shevchenko puts her flyweight title on the line against Jessica Andrade, and Zhang Weili looks to defend her strawweight title against former champ Rose Namajunas. They provide the warm-up to the main event, as Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal face off in a welterweight title rematch.Check out the show above, and make sure you get subscribed to our YouTube channel.

It’s been a hell of a year. For the most part, it’s sucked, but the one release we all had was sport, and no sport responded better to the challenge of COVID-19 than MMA.Led by the UFC who, after a false start in California, held successful events in Jacksonville before establishing a secure COVID-safe bubble at the UFC Apex and heading to “UFC Fight Island,” where the Abu Dhabi government teamed up with the UFC to set up the best COVID bubble in world sport on Yas Island.Bellator returned later in the year with their “Fightsphere” in Uncasville, Connecticut, while, in the U.K., Cage Warriors proved that regional promotions can also succeed, with their behind-closed-doors setup and “Trilogy” format.On this week’s show, we look back at an unprecedented year as we share our month-by-month recap of 2020, before launching into our end-of-year awards.Unpacking the most tumultuous year in a generation is no easy task, so it’s a bumper edition of the show this week as we end the year with a bang.We’ve got some big plans for 2021, and we’d love it if you’d join us as we kick The Brit Pack up a gear next year. Enjoy our final show of 2020, and have a great New Year. We’ll speak to you again in 2021! Get on the email list at thebritpack.substack.com

We’re not going to lie, it’s been a pretty quiet week in the sport of MMA. COVID deprive us of not one, but two UFC main events, and the fight card last weekend and the one coming up this week aren’t the most star-studded of affairs.But that didn’t mean that the combat sports world wasn’t buzzing, because it absolutely was – and it was all down to a couple of fiftysomething former world champions. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. stepped back in the ring for an eight-round exhibition fight on pay-per-view in an event, that, despite some cynicism (including from one of us!) heading into fight night, delivered the goods for the fans, and for the stakeholders who took the risk of putting on the show.On this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack,” we look back at that fight, and our contrasting approaches to the event last Saturday night, as we recap the key takeaways from the event, and discuss the future for “legends” fights and celebrity boxing as a legitimate new vertical in the sport.We also recap UFC on ESPN 18 last weekend and look ahead to UFC on ESPN 19 this weekend as we pick out the fights to follow. We also tease some big news coming to “The Brit Pack” in the not-too-distant future…Enjoy the show! Get on the email list at thebritpack.substack.com

After a typically busy week in the world of MMA, the sport turns up the pace this week with a host of events to keep even the most hardened of hardcore MMA fans happy, and on this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack,” we take a look at what’s on offer.First, we recap the key action from last week, as Rafael dos Anjos marked his return to the UFC lightweight division with an impressive win, while two-division champ Patricky “Pitbull” Freire marched into the semi-finals of the Bellator featherweight grand prix.Then we take a look ahead to a feast of fights, with Bellator 253 on Thursday night, followed by a Friday night double-header on UFC Fight Pass, featuring Invicta FC and LFA, with PFL champion Kayla Harrison making her 145-pound debut, while the man who knocked out Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, looks to make an impact on his LFA debut.Finally, we take a look at a stacked fight card in Las Vegas for UFC 255, with two flyweight title fights at the top of the card rounding off a night packed with dynamite matchups that could serve up fireworks aplenty.It’s yet another packed slate of fights on another busy episode of “The Brit Pack,” and we’d be honoured if you’d join us.Check out the show via the player above, or click the link under the player to listen via the podcast player of your choice.

In another bonus episode of “The Brit Pack,” Simon hopped on the phone with one of the British contingent on the Bellator MMA roster as he caught up with featherweight Saul Rogers following his victory in the co-main event of Bellator Europe 10 in Paris, France.Rogers chats about his experience of a crazy fight week in France, as he was left completely on his own after his cornermen were sent home, and reveals what unexpected guilty pleasure he used to while away the hours when stuck in quarantine at the fighter hotel.The Brit also shares news regarding his contractual situation with Bellator as he looks to build on his win in Paris and make his way up the promotion’s 145-pound ladder.Check out the full chat via the player above, or via the podcast player of your choice.

“The Brit Pack” is back to recap the historic events of UFC 254, as Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement to bring down the curtain on the UFC lightweight champion’s undefeated career.We take a look at Nurmagomedov’s win over Justin Gaethje in the main event in Abu Dhabi, and discuss the Russian superstar’s legacy following his decision to retire from the octagon.We also get excited over what might happen next at 155 pounds, with the ludicrously stacked UFC lightweight division left wide open for a new champion to emerge.In addition, we run through the rest of the card and pick out our highlights, and look ahead to Bellator 250 and UFC Vegas 12, as another of the sport’s all-time greats, Anderson Silva, prepares to make his final walk to the octagon in what he has promised will be his final fight in the UFC.Check out the show via the player above, or use the link underneath the player to get the show via the podcast player of your choice.

The biggest title fight of 2020 is finally here, and “The Brit Pack” is here to break it down for you.Khabib Nurmagomedov will put his UFC lightweight title – and his undisputed record – on the line in the main event in Abu Dhabi when he takes on interim champion Justin Gaethje, who is coming into the fight in the form of his life after his brilliant stoppage of Tony Ferguson earlier this year.It’s a fight with a heartbreaking backstory, following the tragic death of Khabib’s father, coach and mentor, Abdulmanap, while the matchup is so important that the UFC has even drafted in three-time Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler as a high-profile super-sub, just in case anything happens to either man between now and fight night.On this week’s show, we take a look inside the fight and offer our respective takes as we pick out some of the key angles to consider ahead of their main event clash on “UFC Fight Island” this coming weekend.We also take a look at the other big fights that matter on the fight card, and run through all the key times for U.K.-based viewers, who will get the rare privilege of watching a big-time UFC event in U.K. prime time hours.In addition, we run through last weekend’s event on “UFC Fight Island,” as Brian Ortega returned in scintillating form to defeat “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung and position himself for a shot at Alexander Volkanovski and the UFC featherweight title.There’s much to discuss on a packed show, and we’d be honoured if you’d join us as we get set for one of the biggest UFC weekends of the year.

The fight calendar rolls on, and two of the UFC’s biggest rivalries continue to generate heat away from the octagon as we look back on another busy week in MMA.On “UFC Fight Island,” former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm and former UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie picked up big wins as they look to earn themselves a shot at all-conquering two-division women’s champion Amanda Nunes. On social media, Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya continue to stoke the fires as they jab at each other from opposite sides of the world and build the anticipation as they continue to hint at a potential future clash inside the octagon. Also on social media, England’s Darren Till took his social media mind games to a new level by answering longtime rival Mike Perry’s online offer to accommodate the highest bidder as a cornerman for his next fight. Till pledged to be that cornerman, and even started a GoFundMe to raise money to cover his travel costs, with the rest of the proceeds going straight to Perry.As well as the above, we also take a look ahead to Bellator’s groundbreaking event in Paris this weekend, plus the latest installment of action from “UFC Fight Island.” It’s yet another packed edition of “The Brit Pack” podcast, and it’s all yours via the player above, or the podcast app of your choice.[Pic: @AwesomeGandalf] Get on the email list at thebritpack.substack.com

A bumper edition of '“The Brit Pack” features plenty of pre- and post-fight chat as we preview UFC 253 and review UFC Vegas 11, and we also zero in on two key talking points around the two shows.Last weekend in Vegas, Colby Covington bounced back with a fifth-round finish of Tyron Woodley, but despite once again proving himself to be one of the very best fighters on the planet, his divisive rhetoric after the fight yet again left a sour taste in the mouth. At what point does fight promotion go too far, and has Colby overstepped the line? We discuss the topic at length.We also chat about the upcoming middleweight title fight at UFC 253, as Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa go head to head in what they and the UFC would have had us believe was a heated grudge match. But when a video posted to social media by Costa’s manager saw the pair greeting each other in cordial fashion, that narrative has been placed in some doubt. We assess what happened, and what impact it may make on the matchup, and the earning potential for the title challenger.We also look ahead to a jam-packed schedule of fights this coming weekend, with a triple-header of Cage Warriors events, plus Bellator’s return to European soil, giving MMA fans on Simon’s side of the pond plenty to look forward to before the UFC takes centre stage on “Fight Island”.Check out the show via the player above, and don’t forget to subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode.

As the title of this week’s show suggests, we had a ton to discuss on this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack” as we picked through the results of a triple-header weekend, looked ahead to a stacked card this weekend, and chatted about some of the big MMA storylines of the week.We had UFC on ESPN+ 35 in Vegas, where Michelle Waterson and Angela Hill served up a classic, and referee Chris Tognoni’s error helped Ed Herman to an unlikely come-from-behind win.We also had a double helping of Bellator action, as the promotion’s “Fightsphere” at Mohegan Sun Arena played host to back-to-back fight nights for Bellator 245 and 246, as Juan Archuleta was crowned the promotion’s bantamweight champion on Saturday night.We also discussed Bellator’s new direction following their switch from Paramount Network to CBS Sports, and their new fight for Thursday night supremacy against the PFL, which is set to return in 2021.Then we threw things forward and took a look ahead to the coming weekend’s UFC on ESPN+ 36 card, as a welterweight grudge match a few years in the making finally comes to a head at the UFC Apex. Colby Covington vs. Tyron Woodley should be a cracker.There’s also the latest chapter of the remarkable breakout story of Khamzat Chimaev, who returns to face Gerald Meerschaert in the first of a pre-arranged two-fight booking that could see the unbeaten Swedish phenom face Demian Maia next… IF he can beat BJJ black belt and noted submission specialist Meerschaert, which will be no easy feat.Check out the show via the player above, and don’t forget you can subscribe via the button below so you never miss a show.

As the title of this week’s show suggests, heavyweight discussion dominates the chat on the latest episode of “The Brit Pack” as we react to the breaking news of Brock Lesnar entering free agency. Could he really make a return to MMA? And would he actually be better off joining Bellator instead of the UFC? It sounds mad, but hear us out! We also chat about Daniel Cormier’s legacy after “DC” confirmed his retirement earlier in the day.We bring you bang up to speed with the latest action in the UFC as we recap last weekend’s UFC on ESPN+ 33 (or UFC Vegas 8, if you prefer) at the UFC Apex as Aleksandar Rakic defeated Anthony Smith to push himself into the title conversation at 205 pounds. We discuss what’s next for him, and for Smith, who is currently mulling over his options after back-to-back losses at light heavyweight.And we also take a look forward to this coming weekend’s action at the UFC Apex as “The Demolition Man” himself, English-born Alistair Overeem, takes on surging prospect Augusto Sakai in the main event.It’s another packed show, and by way of a bonus we even throw in a way-too-early review of Amazon Prime’s new “All or Nothing” series, focusing on Sandhu’s team, Tottenham Hotspur.Listen via the player above, or via the podcast player of your choice.

It’s the pilot episode of I MET YOU ON LJ! Join your hosts, Maggie and V, as they revisit the outrageously popular and very pretentious fandom space they became friends in (and helped moderate!) twelve years ago—it’s Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and the Brit Pack. They’ll reminisce about locked LiveJournal communities, spectacular photoshoots, folk musicians, and so much RPF. And okay, they talk about Twilight.

UFC 252 promised an epic trilogy fight between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, and it didn’t disappoint as the pair settled their rivalry at the UFC Apex.On this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack,” we take a look back at the events of last weekend, when Miocic defeated Cormier to retain his UFC heavyweight title and claim the “win” in the three-fight series between the pair.What did the win do for Miocic’s legacy? And how should Cormier be remembered now that he has announced his retirement from the sport? Also, what should happen next at the top of the heavyweight division? We answer those questions, and more, on this week’s episode.There’s also time for a quick look ahead to this weekend’s double-header, with Bellator 244 on Friday night, and UFC on ESPN 15 at the Apex on Saturday night.And, just before we wrapped things up, there was some breaking news, as Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz reportedly agreed to a huge fight at 205 pounds, but does it mean there’s a title on the line? Given what’s happened since we stopped recording, there’s every chance there will be.It’s another jam-packed episode of “The Brit Pack” and we hope you enjoy it.

We say it every week, but boy do we have a packed show for you!Of course, the majority of this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack” is dedicated to the huge trilogy fight between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormer, who dance one final time for all the marbles – and possibly the mantle of the greatest MMA heavyweight of all time – in the main event of UFC 252 this weekend. But that’s only part of what we have on this week’s show.There’s a full main card recap of UFC on ESPN+ 32 last weekend, as Derrick Lewis scored a huge win, Chris Weidman breathed life into his UFC career and Darren Stewart proved he’s MUCH more than just another British striker.We also unpack the news that broke just before we hit record, as Paige VanZant announced that she had signed with Bare Knuckle FC. Smart move or a baffling choice? We offer our respective takes. There’s also a quick word for the events of midweek, where Dana White handed out FIVE UFC contracts at the Contender Series, including one to 21-year-old Welsh strawweight Cory McKenna, who put on a brilliant display to earn herself a shot at the big time.There’s also the usual fight reaction, early predictions and midweek matchmaking as we try to plot the course for key names in the sport.Check out the show via the player above, or via the pod-catcher of your choice.

It feels like a quiet week this week, but we STILL have a double-header of UFC and Bellator action this coming weekend.It meant we still had plenty to chew over on this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack” podcast as we recapped the action from UFC on ESPN+ 31 in Las Vegas, as longtime middleweight rankings resident Derek Brunson proved to Edmen Shahbazyan that there are levels to this game at 185 pounds with a third-round TKO victory.We unpacked that result, plus the other eye-catching fight outcomes of the night, including Joanne Calderwood’s heartbreaking loss to Jennifer Maia as the Scot took a fight on short notice and lost her likely title shot with Valentina Shevchenko in the process.We also looked ahead to Bellator 243, where former Bellator champ Michael Chandler and ex-WEC and UFC champ Benson Henderson will run it back for a potential shot at the promotion’s 155-pound strap.We discussed the UFC’s next event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, as “The Black Beast” meets “The Boa Constrictor” in a real throwback fight in the UFC’s heavyweight division. And we also looked ahead to the return to the UFC of England’s Darren “The Dentist” Stewart, after his last assignment saw him compete under the Cage Warriors banner during the COVID-19 pandemic.Check out the show above and don’t forget to drop us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, or hit us up on social media @TheBritPackMMA.

“UFC Fight Island’s” four-event run ended with a bang as UFC on ESPN 14 delivered a spectacular night of fights that had a little bit of everything for MMA fans, including some good, old-fashioned controversy.When Dan Hardy raised his voice in Herb Dean’s direction and we saw Dean gesture to Hardy, we knew this wasn’t going to be just a spur-of-the-moment incident, and the fallout and discussion has rolled on ever since. Dean put out a video statement backing his decision to let Jai Herbert take more punishment from Francisco Trinaldo before eventually stopping their featured preliminary fight, while Hardy has fired back with a one-hour YouTube video laying out his thoughts and concerns about that finish, as well as a host of prior questionable finishes from Dean down the years.We hit record on this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack” before Hardy dropped his epic YouTube response, as we offered our personal takes on what happened on fight night, and where we think the issues truly lie. Of course, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the stacked fight card delivered some fantastic action, too, and we ran through the big fights, and big performances, that mattered on Yas Island as the UFC’s first run of events on “Fight Island” shows came to a close in fine style.We also took a moment to look ahead to this weekend’s two fight cards, with ONE Championship making their return from the pandemic in Bangkok on Friday, and the UFC returning to Las Vegas on Saturday.It’s possibly our most packed episode of “The Brit Pack” yet, and it’s all yours right here.

UFC 251 was a momentous night for the world’s biggest MMA organization, as three titles were contested on a stacked card in the first-ever “UFC Fight Island” event.It was a huge achievement just to be able to put on a show of that scale, with the level of preparation involved behind the scenes to host a massive pay-per-view event during the COVID-19 pandemic.On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack, we take a look back at a fight card that delivered a little bit of everything in Abu Dhabi, as fans were treated to spectacular knockouts, stunning submissions, three huge title fights and a little sprinkling of controversy for good measure.We deep-dive into the fight card on Yas Island, as we run through the big fights, and the big talking points, on a big night at UFC 251. Then we take a quickfire run through the two UFC Fight Night events set to take place this week, with Wednesday’s midweek card leading us into the weekend, where the UFC flyweight title will (hopefully) be decided when Deiveson Figueiredo and Joseph Benavidez throw down for a second time.It’s another jam-packed episode of “The Brit Pack.” We hope you enjoy it!

Has any sporting organization adapted better to the COVID-19 pandemic than the UFC? And has any sport done a better job than MMA of managing to maintain its authenticity and appeal despite the lack fans in attendance? To be honest, we don’t think so.Fans are the lifeblood of any sport, but when it comes to the television coverage of specific sports, certain events are able to adapt and still be compelling without fans in the stands, while others have struggled. On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack, MMA journalist Simon Head and MMA social media specialist Chamatkar Sandhu discuss how different sports have adapted to lockdown life, and how the UFC has led the way in how to host a successful behind-closed-doors event.The pair also look back at the fifth and final event of the UFC’s five-event run at their UFC Apex facility, as Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker threw leather for five thrilling rounds in a Fight of the Year contender. Simon and Sandhu also discussed the other crackerjack matchups that are on that way-too-early Fights of the Year list, six months in.It’s a gap week in the world MMA calendar, with no UFC, Bellator or ONE Championship events set for the coming weekend, but there’s plenty to digest after a packed weekend last weekend, so check out the show and get bang up to date with the Brits as they wrap up all UFC Apex matters ahead of the UFC’s switch to Fight Island next week.Check out the show via the player above, and don’t forget to subscribe!

The UFC’s purpose-built “Apex” facility in Las Vegas was always intended to host live fight events, but even UFC president Dana White wouldn’t have expected to have held so many big events at the state-of-the-art venue by the summer of 2020.The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we have to think and operate, however, and the new facility has become the Las Vegas home of live fights for the UFC, with a ton of exciting matchups already in the books in the venue’s short history.This past weekend’s event, #UFCVegas3, delivered talking points aplenty, and Simon Head and Chamatkar Sandhu, AKA “The Brit Pack”, unpack it all on this week’s show. Whether it was Curtis Blaydes’ strong, yet underwhelming, performance in the main event, Josh Emmett’s Ironman performance in the co-main event, or the contrasting (and, in Max Rohskopf’s case, controversial) debuts of two UFC newcomers, there was plenty for the lads to get their teeth into as they looked back at another eventful show.Simon and Sandhu also take a look ahead to UFC on ESPN 12, as lightweight contenders Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker get ready to face off in the main event, and also run through a host of British fighters set for action on UFC “Fight Island” at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.It’s another jam-packed show of MMA chat.

It wasn’t all that long ago that Anderson Silva was the biggest name in MMA. As the UFC’s all-conquering middleweight champion, “The Spider” demolished almost everyone in his path, and even jumped up to light heavyweight and added to his highlight reel at 205 pounds. But now, after losing his title and picking up just one win in the last seven years, Silva has just two fights remaining on his UFC contract, and UFC president Dana White admitted he’s unsure how to book the Brazilian legend for his final two fights.On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack, Simon Head and Chamatkar Sandhu mull over the possible (and highly unlikely) options for Silva’s final two fights, and also discuss what might happen if Silva’s compatriot, UFC women’s “champ champ” Amanda Nunes, decided to hang up her four-ounce gloves in the near future.The two Brits also take a look back at UFC on ESPN 10 (aka #UFCVegas2) as Cynthia Calvillo announced her arrival as a top contender in her new weight class, while a host of up-and-coming prospects delivered a fistful of spectacular performances to kick off the card. Finally, the pair look ahead to UFC on ESPN 11 (aka #UFCVegas3) as heavyweight contenders Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov face off in the main event.Enjoy the show, then enjoy the fights![Photo credit: Per Haljestam] Get on the email list at thebritpack.substack.com

This week on The Brit Pack, we took a look ahead to the UFC 250 card as the UFC Apex plays host to its first pay-per-view event. But before we discussed the key matchups on the card, we took the decision to talk about a topic that has surpassed everything else in the world right now.We may come from the same country (though we now live on opposite sides of the Atlantic) but we come from very different backgrounds. And despite those differences in our heritage and upbringing, we were both in full agreement that the right thing to do on this week’s show was to discuss the events that have taken place in the United States following the death of George Floyd while in police custody on May 25, and the protests that have followed since.It’s a difficult topic, but one we felt we wanted to address on this week’s show.Thanks, as always, for listening and supporting the show.

The latest episode of The Brit Pack looks ahead to this coming weekend’s UFC on ESPN 9 event as the UFC returns to Las Vegas with a pivotal bout in the welterweight division.Tyron Woodley will take on Gilbert Burns in the main event of the evening at the UFC Apex, but that fight is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to our welterweight chat this week, because there’s a LOT to discuss at 170 pounds right now.In addition to Woodley-Burns, we have interesting developing situations regarding Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman. They looked set to meet at some point this summer, but this week “Gamebred” appeared to switch his attention as he called for a rematch with Nate Diaz, while Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz suggested they could put the 170-pound strap on the line against a certain Conor McGregor instead.And what the hell is going on with poor Leon Edwards? He was supposed to face Woodley at UFC London in March, but the pandemic scuppered that fight. Nobody wanted to fight him in the first place. Now he’s beginning to look like the welterweight division’s odd man out. On top of all that, we had Conor McGregor sparking a huge debate over MMA’s GOAT, so we took a look at how on earth you go about defining the Greatest Of All Time.There was much to discuss on this week’s show, so why not join us?Check out the show above, give us a subscribe below and hit us up on Twitter @TheBritPackMMA, @simonhead and @SandhuMMA.

Live fights are back in our lives, and boy are we happy to have them back! On this week’s packed episode of The Brit Pack, we run through the big talking points of UFC 249 – the first major sporting event since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic.We take a look back at Justin Gaethje’s incredible performance in the main event as he finally fulfilled his potential, captured interim lightweight gold and booked himself a future date with Khabib Nurmagomedov, possibly on Dana White’s “Fight Island”.We also recap Henry Cejudo’s remarkable run in the UFC following his retirement announcement at the weekend. Has he called time on his career too early, or has he actually achieved more than a lot of people might initially have realised?We also chat about an explosive performance from Francis Ngannou, and why he’s a major problem for the UFC’s heavyweight division, in more ways than one. We highlight our other favourite performers on a hugely entertaining night in Jacksonville. And we look back at the event as a whole as we assess how the UFC fared as they took on the unenviable task of being the first major sports organisation to run an event during the pandemic.There’s also time to cram in some chat about Conor McGregor’s Twitter rant, Mike Tyson’s possible comeback, Georges St-Pierre’s Hall of Fame induction and a quickfire look ahead to Wednesday night’s UFC Fight Night card in Jacksonville, featuring Anthony Smith vs. Glover Teixeira in the main event.It’s a packed one this week.

The world continues to adapt and improvise during the COVID-19 pandemic, with MMA promotions taking markedly different approaches to dealing with the crisis. On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack, we take a look at the MMA’s big hitters as the UFC looks to get the ball rolling again with a May 9 event named… you guessed it, UFC 249.But while the UFC is looking to open up for business once again, the PFL has brought the shutters down on their 2020 season after announcing the official postponement of this year’s season. Bellator also confirmed the postponement of their upcoming Bellator 244 event in Chicago.We take a look at all of the above on this week’s show as we run down the one fight card we actually have in front of us, and assess the differing approaches of the various promotions.We also look at the light heavyweight love triangle for the UFC 205-pound title, which featured Jan Blachowicz offering to “fist” Jon Jones after the champ talked about popping some cherries in Poland.Plus we give a little update on how we’re surviving lockdown life, with a few TV and podcast recommendations. Of course, if you want those, you’ll have to listen to our show first!
