At this time of year, we want to remind everyone to be thankful, and one thing we were very thankful for was the fights this past weekend! We start things off by talking about the amazing performance by Brendan Allen in his win over Paul Craig. He has a great winning streak going, and we look forward to what's next for him. After that, we talk about Michael Morales making his mark in the welterweight division. We followed that up with a recap of the rest of the card. After that, Brandon did one of his "Facts, Don't Care About Your Feelings" giving his opinion on interim titles. Amongst that, we discuss whether Jon Jones should vacate his heavyweight title to give Aspinall a chance to unify. Lastly, we cover the news that includes huge Bellator 301 performances, some good fight announcements, and some big boxing matchups. Like always, please be sure to like, comment, rate, and subscribe.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by lightweight Chase Hooper and middleweight Brendan Allen ahead of their fights on this Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Craig card. Right out of the gate, Jim and Matt find themselves on opposite ends of a quick debate regarding whether or not UFC matchmakers should rethink the previously-planned Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic heavyweight title fight due to Tom Aspinall's scintillating performance last Saturday. Then, Chase Hooper hops on the show to discuss how the friendly interactions he's had with Jordan Leavitt at the UFC Performance Institute are something he'll have to look past as the two gear up to fight each other in Saturday's featured bout in Las Vegas. The guys finish up the show by interviewing Brendan Allen ahead of his main event fight atop Saturday's card on ESPN+. The 10th-ranked middleweight breaks down his stylistic matchup with Paul Craig before explaining how fatherhood and seeing a sports psychiatrist have helped him mature as a fighter.

UFC 295 delivered an exciting event at Madison Square Garden, and when the dust settled in the World's Most Famous Arena, Alex Pereira entered the two-division champion club, while Tom Aspinall stated his case to be MMA's best heavyweight when he ran over Sergei Pavlovich in just over a minute. Where does Pereira go from here? And could we get a fight between Aspinall and Jon Jones? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel recaps UFC 295, discusses what could be next for Pereira in his first title defense at 205, if the Israel Adesanya trilogy fight could happen, and Jamahal Hill feeling disrespected ahead of a potential matchup between the former champ and Pereira. Additionally, topics include Aspinall's interim title win, if he could have enough juice to change the UFC's plans away from a fight between Jones and Stipe Miocic, other standouts from UFC 295, Saturday's UFC Vegas 82 headlined by Brendan Allen vs. Paul Craig, Bellator 301 being a great card on paper — but possibly the final one for the promotion — and more. Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and recent Gamebred Bareknuckle winner Randy Costa.

Andy considers who REALLY is the baddest man in the UFC

Court is officially in session! Mike Heck and Jed Meshew (plus a special guest) join co-hosts Shaun Al-Shatti and Alexander K. Lee this week for the most important trial in MMA history. With UFC 295 in the rear-view, the gang hits the witness stand around (7:25) to settle once and for all whether Jon Jones or Tom Aspinall is the No. 1 heavyweight in the world. Then, the boys discuss how Alex Pereira has broken MMA — and Jed's brain — around (53:40), play another rollicking round of "What The F*** Are We Supposed To Do Next?" with the two heaviest and most confusing divisions in the sport around (1:11:50), and much, much more.

Back from New York City after covering UFC 295 for ESPN, I get into the following on today's podcast:Alex Pereira's incredible UFC run and why I think he's the 2023 FOTY (00:00)Why I have zero interest in Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya ever again (13:26)How Tom Aspinall just made the heavyweight division very interesting (23:36)How Aspinall shut down Sergei Pavlovich and Ciryl Gane on the same night (33:22)Why I hate that Tony Ferguson is training with fitness guru David Goggins ahead of UFC 296 (44:36)

The gang comes together to discuss Alex Poatan Pereira's victor of Jiri Procházka at UFC 295. The discuss what's next for the new champ and the chaotic 205 lb division. They also bask in the glory of Tom Aspinall taking the interim heavyweight championship and debate what he needs to do to convince Jon Jones to fight him. They discuss the rest of the UFC 295 card before discussing what appears to be the final Bellator event ever. The gang also makes their pick for this weekend's Brendan Allen v. Paul Craig fight. All that and another edition of "Stuff We Like."

The Fighter vs. The Writer returns with a new episode reacting to the fallout from UFC 295 where two new champions were crowned. UFC welterweight Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin discuss Tom Aspinall's stunning first-round knockout win over Sergei Pavlovich and what likely comes next for him. Is there a chance Aspinall will get to fight Jon Jones or should he just give up that idea already? We'll also discuss Alex Pereira becoming a two-division UFC champion in just his 11th MMA fight but did referee Marc Goddard make a mistake with his stoppage in the main event? Jiri Prochazka isn't complaining but did the referee cost him the chance to make a comeback? Plus, Brown offers some sage advice to Mackenzie Dern after her knockout loss to Jessica Andrade and if she's already hit the ceiling in her career after a 2-3 run in her past five fights in the UFC.

While the idea of a Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic had little buzz ahead of their scheduled matchup at UFC 295 before Jones was forced to withdraw due to injury, whatever buzz was there seems to be fully gone after Tom Aspinall's 69 second destruction of Sergei Pavlovich to win the interim heavyweight title on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. The MMA world now wants to see Jones vs. Aspinall, but will we ever get it? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to Aspinall's performance, talks the likelihood of a Jones vs. Aspinall fight ever happening, and what Aspinall could likely do next. Additionally, listener questions include Alex Pereira's historic win at UFC 295 in the main event, his callout of Israel Adesanya, where Jamahal Hill fits in the light heavyweight title picture for the UFC, Leon Edwards aiming towards a middleweight title shot if he defeats Colby Covington at UFC 296, and much more.

What a wild night of fights! We have two new champions, some big-time performances, and five finishes on the main card alone, so let's get into it! We start off talking about how the UFC 295 main event went exactly as we hoped—chaotic! Ultimately, Alex Pereira gets a stoppage win to secure the light heavyweight title. We talk about what could be next for him, with former champion Jamahal Hill recovering from injury and no clear-cut contenders available in the division. From there, we move on to Tom Aspinall shocking the world with his 69-second KO victory over Sergei Pavlovich to earn the interim heavyweight title. Not only did we talk about his impressive, short-notice performance, but we also discussed his future opponents. Obviously, this card was supposed to be headlined originally by champion Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic, but with the Jones injury, that fight could be a year out. After that, we give a full main card recap of UFC 295. Next, we give our picks and predictions for UFC Fight Night Brendan Allen vs. Paul Craig, where we see who will win in the battle of the submission aces! We also picked the co-main, which will feature young prospects Michael Morales and Jake Matthews. Lastly, we cover the news, which featured some huge fight announcements, a roster cut, Usman Nurmagomedov failing a drug test, and more. Like always, please be sure to like, comment, rate, and subscribe.

On Episode 514 of Morning Kombat Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell react to UFC 295. Which fight would we rather see Alex Pereira take next, Jamahal Hill or Israel Adesanya?

The guys break it all down in episode 514. As always we close with Dm's from Donks and HYSTS.

We crowned two new champions on Saturday at UFC 295–and neither fight took that long. On a night full of KOs at Madison Square Garden, Alex Pereira emerged with the light heavyweight championship (his second in two different divisions) and Tom Aspinall became the new interim heavyweight titlist. So … the question remains … just how mad is Jon Jones about this? Yeah, he tried to be all nice when he congratulated Aspinal via social media, but you just KNOW it's burning him up inside that these two guys won belts that Jones technically never lost. We discuss.

The ongoing class action lawsuit against the UFC resulted in the unsealing of evidence that revealed past fighter payouts from athletes including Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey, Anderson Silva and more. The evidence is a clear view at how the UFC paid its fighters from 2011 to 2016 (with most parameters likely holding true in today's operations), and the clearest view we've ever seen into any of the UFC's fighter pay practices. This podcast will break down the revealed financial information from the lawsuit, how it compares to the typical boxing split, and what the information has revealed about the UFC's business practices.

Brandon Marshall, Ashley Nicole Moss and Brandon Flowers discuss how Dallas came up short against their NFC rival the Eagles, then will Lamar always be in Mahomes shadow and finally we are joined by former UFC Heavyweight Champion and Boxer Francis Ngannou.

We're sad that Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic is off pretty much indefinitely due to Jones' torn pec, but UFC 295 still looks pretty OK. It's admittedly a little top heavy – no need to stack the card when you thought you had JBJ vs. Stipe, eh? – but the revamped main and co-main still look pretty cool. Jiri Prochazka returns from the worst shoulder injury in the history of shoulders to take on former middleweight champ Alex Pereira for the vacant light heavyweight title. Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich duke it out for an interim heavyweight title. Seems like a couple good fights that might clean up the messes in the UFC's heaviest weight classes. Plus, some people were impressed by Jailton Almeida's win over Derrick Lewis and some people weren't and shit maybe just got really real for the UFC in its antitrust case.
