"I produced some badass fights for UFC...and they were waiting for me to lose."- Demetrious Johnson On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, the guys sit down with one of the most technically brilliant fighters in combat sports history, Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. Widely considered one of the greatest flyweights of all time, Johnson opens up about the journey that shaped him — from a difficult childhood to becoming a global MMA icon to the disappointment of never having the fight platform he earned. Johnson reflects on growing up with a deaf mother and the responsibility and resilience that came with it. Not meeting his biological father until later in life, Demetrious' mom and sister were always at forefront of his choices, as he worked to turn his aggression and frustration into championship wrestling and competition skills. He shares how those early experiences forged the discipline and mindset that would later define his career. The conversation dives into the highs and lows of his time in the UFC, the challenges he faced during turbulent moments in the promotion, and the pivotal decision that led him to continue his legacy on the global stage of MMA. Beyond championships and highlight-reel finishes, Johnson talks about what the sport has meant to him and the mark he hopes to leave behind. He discusses the evolution of mixed martial arts, his role in elevating the flyweight division, and how he wants to be remembered by the next generation of fighters. A complicated and often misunderstood relationship with Dana White led to Demetrious being a part of history, as the first trade in MMA with Ben Askren going to the UFC while DJ landed in a different MMA platform. Ryan goes in-depth about the elite skill set that defined DJ's career, how he ranks amongst the top MMA fighters and how his legacy is remembered. Outside the cage, the conversation turns personal. Johnson opens up about fatherhood, marriage, and the balance between being a world-class athlete and a present husband and dad. It's a candid and thoughtful look at the man behind “Mighty Mouse,” his values, and the legacy he's building both inside and outside the cage as well as raising children with transparency and exposing them to the harsh realties of culture, race and social issues facing the world now. A powerful conversation about perseverance, humility, and greatness you don't want to miss...Pivot Family, comment, like, hit the subscribe button, we enjoy hearing and learning from you- the good and the bad, we want to know!

Incredible fights, unbelievable drama, and some very tough competitors. We're talking about the Street Fight where Blake Monroe took down Jaida Parker — brutal stuff, very physical. Tony D'Angelo handled business in a Parking Lot Brawl, and the NXT Underground match between Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan? Total chaos. Tremendous. And of course we discuss the big one — Joe Hendry defending the NXT Championship against Ricky Saints. A lot of people talking about it.But that's not all — not even close. The wrestling world this week was absolutely wild. We break down the viral fight at the Real American Freestyle event where UFC star Arman Tsarukyan attacked Georgio Poullas after the match and things exploded — Colby Covington jumping in, people everywhere trying to stop it. Total madness. The internet went crazy, folks.We also talk about Jake Hager signing with Dana White's Power Slap — yes, Power Slap — and making his debut during WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas. Very interesting move. Plus Brodie Lee Jr. stepping into his first-ever singles match, Steph De Lander leaving TNA after a major disagreement with the company, and Tomohiro Ishii being forced out of the NJPW Cup with injury.And that's just the beginning. We've got AEW drama with The IInspiration's rough debut, Dustin Rhodes preparing for a return, David Finlay choosing AEW over WWE, Demolition heading to the WWE Hall of Fame, huge WrestleMania 42 plans including possibly SIX women's matches, and even talk about Tom Brady potentially appearing at WrestleMania.

As the Dana White-fronted Zuffa Boxing, backed by TKO and Saudi's Sela, makes its move to dethrone promotional giants Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions, James Emmett and David Cushnan consider the latest disruption in the fight game and Turki Alalshikh's role as chief string-puller. They also reflect on their conversation with Uefa Marketing Director Guy-Laurent Epstein and European Football Clubs CEO Charlie Marshall, to unpack the new commercial programme being developed by the UC3 entity, a joint venture between Uefa and EFC - and the flexibility that is being built into the media rights and sponsorship sales packages being taken to market by agency partners Relevent and Two Circles. And there's reaction to the Premier League confirmation it will launch a direct-to-consumer service in Singapore.
Dana White is world famous for turning UFC into a global juggernaut; making some powerful friends - and some powerful enemies - along the way. He's now bringing his unique brand of strategic shock therapy to the world of boxing, where it's fair to say that not everybody is enjoying the challenge. Last month Conor Benn, a very familiar face to Uncensored viewers, left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom to join Dana's Zuffa Boxing - a decision which left Eddie furious. And today, it was announced that Dana's heavyweight Tom Aspinall is going over to Matchroom… Dana joins Piers to chat about whether he would fight Eddie, who's going to be in the UFC White House event, getting sued by Frank Warren and more!

Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome a pair of veteran finishers to UFC Unfiltered ahead of Saturday's UFC 326 card in Las Vegas.First, lightweight Drew Dober returns for his eighth appearance on the show to preview his matchup with Michael Johnson in a clash between two of the division's most experienced fighters. Convinced veterans like him are often underestimated for their ability to adapt, Dober explains how the constant search for self-improvement fuels him. That and a good old-fashioned post-fight donut.Later, Cody Garbrandt calls in ahead of his fight against Xiao Long. The former bantamweight champion opens up about how overcoming health issues — including vertigo — has given him a new outlook at this stage of his career before discussing how his passion for motorcycles keeps him grounded outside the cage.Plus, Jim and Matt close out the show with picks for Saturday's UFC 326 card, including their thoughts on the BMF title rematch between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome two lightweights at very different stages of their careers.First, 27-year-old Francis Marshall joins the show following his first-round submission win in Mexico City. Marshall breaks down surviving an early spinning wheel kick before locking up the finish and reflects on bouncing back after a difficult stretch in the Octagon. In his UFC Unfiltered debut, Marshall and Matt connect over their shared ties to the Northeast fight scene, including Marshall's experience competing on Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat — the long-running proving ground for fighters from New Jersey and New York, and a staple for many Serra-Longo athletes over the years.Then, Michael Johnson returns as he gears up for what he's calling one last run at lightweight. “The Menace” discusses longevity, chasing a fourth straight win, how he keeps his body feeling young at 39, and what still fuels him nearly 15 years into his UFC career.In between interviews, Jim and Matt break down the newly announced UFC 327 card, headlined by Jiří Procházka vs. Carlos Ulberg for the light heavyweight title recently vacated by Alex Pereira. They also debate whether Pereira's decision signals a move to heavyweight for Jon Jones — and what that could mean for a potential blockbuster fight at the White House.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) and Mike Kravchenko (Watch on YouTube) are back for a catch-up week packed with stories spanning baseball, college football, the NBA, UFC, and the Olympics.The episode opens with the bombshell resignation of Tony Clark as executive director of the MLBPA following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a family member he hired at the union. Dan and Mike break down why the personal scandal may only be the tip of the iceberg, drawing parallels to the NFLPA's Lloyd Howell situation and raising questions about self-dealing, misuse of union funds, and what Bruce Meyer's interim appointment means heading into a critical CBA negotiation year.From there, the duo covers the quiet settlement of the Jaden Rashada NIL lawsuit — one of the most closely watched cases in college sports law — and what the undisclosed resolution tells us about leverage, discovery, and the war of attrition in NIL litigation. They then pivot to the University of Cincinnati's lawsuit against transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby over a $1 million buyout clause, and what it signals for the future of revenue-sharing contracts and the transfer portal.Dan and Mike also tackle the NBA's escalating tanking crisis, including Adam Silver's record fines, the crisis summit with all 30 GMs, and what a potential draft overhaul could look like. The conversation then shifts to the UFC, Dana White's First Amendment stance, Sean Strickland's mic cut at the post-fight presser, and the tension brewing between the UFC's culture and its new Paramount partnership.The episode closes with Dan's passionate recommendation of the Jim Thorpe documentary Lit by Lightning — which he calls the greatest sports documentary he's ever seen — plus a shoutout to the Steph Curry film The Goat, and a listener challenge: first 10 people to watch either and send proof win a Conduct Detrimental shirt.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?
