Luke and BC are back in studio, breaking down all the action from UFC Mexico and beyond. Brandon Moreno secured a unanimous decision win over Steve Erceg, but did he do enough to leap Manel Kape or Kai Kara-France in the title picture? Was fast-tracking Erceg a mistake for his development? With five finishes on the card, which performance will have the biggest impact on the division? Kyoji Horiguchi is relinquishing his Rizin title to return to the UFC. What does this move mean for the flyweight division and for Rizin's future? In boxing, Bob Arum has hinted that Top Rank could work with PBC to challenge the growing influence of Turki Al-Shakh and TKO. Could this shift reshape the sport? Learn more about your ad choices.

McKee(31:29) Fight Card Recap

It's the last show of the year, the guys pull out their gifts, Eddie's gonna watch Jordan sing, and UFC 282 ended with controversy and disappointment. Paddy Pimblett was gifted a decision and there is STILL no light heavyweight champ. Judging didn't ruin Bellator 289, though (but not for lack of trying). Raufeon Stots defeated Danny Sabatello, Liz Carmouche defended her title and left no doubt, and Patchy Mix choked out Magomed Magomedov. In boxing, Bud Crawford got a KO, Teofimo Lopez squeaked-out a split decision, Manny Pacquiao beat up a YouTuber, and Monster Inoue retained his undisputed bantamweight title. In What's Up With That, the guys cover a big March 2023 in the UFC that includes trips to London & San Antonio, the retirement of Shogun Rua, and BKFC free agency. The UFC holds their last card of the year Saturday, with Jared Cannonier taking on Sean Strickland in the main event of what could turn into a pretty good card. Bellator & RIZIN meet on New Year's Eve to close-out the year, featuring Patricio Pitbull, AJ McKee, Juan Archuleta, Kyoji Horiguchi, and John Dodson. Not much big boxing before the guys come back, but Gervonta Davis faces Hector Garcia in the first week of January. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you are cool enough to subscribe to the Combat Chronicles Patreon then you will know that I basically called Tyson Fury's sixth round knockout of Dillian Whyte perfectly (okay, not the round itself but just how it would go in terms of ebb and flow) but that doesn't mean that the fight isn't interesting to talk about. I also talk about why Fury vs. Ngannou is a load of bollocks.Then a look at Bellator's mouth-watering 135lb tournament and the plight of Kyoji Horiguchi as a small man in the land of (admittedly small by most standards) giants..

With the Bellator bantamweight grand prix recently announced for 2022, one fighter in particular feels like he deserved his opportunity to vie for the world title and $1 million. This week on We Got Next, Bellator 135-pounder Danny Sabatello (3:08) reacts to being left off of the bracket, discusses why he believes James Gallagher is the most egregious name in the eight-man slate, not being impressed with Sergio Pettis' last two fights or his recent spinning back fist KO of Kyoji Horiguchi at Bellator 272 this past Friday, how Bellator's bantamweights match up with the UFC's, being ready to be an alternate if called upon, and wanting to welcome Gervonta Davis to MMA. Vince Morales (28:07) recaps his KO win over Louis Smolka this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 44, talks what being the first to knock Smolka out means to him, not getting a bonus, what has changed since his loss to Chris Gutierrez and why he was thankful for that experience, 2021 being his breakout year for a number of reasons, his callout of Nathaniel Wood, and his goals for 2022.

BJPENN.COM Radio is back in action, Penn Nation! We kick things off with UFC bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw. Last time the champ joined us, the super-fight against “Mighty Mouse” was all but finalized. Since then, the matchup has been shelved and TJ now faces former champion and rival Cody Garbrandt in a rematch at UFC 227 on August 4th.

Our second guest is the fan-favorite scrapper from Miami and good friend of the show, Jorge Masvidal. “Gamebred” returns to give us the full breakdown of yet another attempt to negotiate a fight against Neil Magny. We reported last week that Magny had declined the fight and subsequently the two welterweights went at it on Twitter. We'll also get Jorge's response to Michael Bisping's denial of the incident between them in China, which you first heard Masvidal discuss here last month. Who Masvidal plans on facing when he returns this summer and more. Closing out the show we are joined by Kyoji Horiguchi and his manager, Fumihiko Ishii.

We'll preview the fight in the usual “Smooth” fashion, discuss what he'd like to accomplish in 2018, and we'll hear Ben's interesting take on how to fix judging in MMA.

We'll get Alex's thoughts on Artem as an opponent, what the fight means for his career in the UFC, how he manages to stay grounded in this era of trash talk, and why martial arts are his way of life as well as his profession. Next up we are joined by former UFC welterweight contender, Rick “The Horror” Story. Story broke the news two weeks ago that he has parted ways with the UFC and is now expected to compete in the inaugural Professional Fighters League tournament series. We'll hear the timeline of events that led Rick to leave the UFC, what he thinks about the revolutionary format being attempted by the PFL, and how that all intertwines with his future career plans.

BJPENN Radio is back tonight at 8PM ET/5PM PT with more of what you crave! 8:15PM ET- Kicking things off we are joined by UFC featherweight, Alexander “The Great” Volkanovski. Following the news that Jeremy Kennedy would be unable to compete on November 19th in Sydney, there was a brief moment of uncertainty for Alex. However, it was quickly announced that Humberto Bandenay would replace Kennedy and Volkanovski would still be competing for his fellow countrymen. We'll discuss the timeline of events from Kennedy withdrawing to Bandenay stepping in, and we'll get the Aussie's breakdown of the matchup.

After one of the worst strings of bad luck we have ever seen in the sport, the future was not looking good for McCall. Health issues, injuries to himself and opponents, both played a big part in Ian's nearly 3 year hiatus. He had announced recently that he would be requesting his release from the UFC and would be seeking other offers that paid what he is worth. Then, just days later, McCall has signed with RIZIN and will be taking part in their bantamweight Grand Prix on December 29th. We'll be getting the scoop on how this all unfolded, and how the state of his relationship with the UFC.
