On this episode of McCarthy Monday, Big John McCarthy and Josh Thomson break down the Nevada State Athletic Commission's crackdown on UFC fighters climbing or leaving the cage after their victories. Following UFC 329, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett and Gable Steveson are facing disciplinary hearings after their post-fight celebrations. Their purses have been withheld pending the hearings. And Daniel Cormier isn't holding back, calling the rule “the most ridiculous rule in mixed martial arts” and arguing that fighters should be allowed to celebrate the biggest moments of their careers. But is the Nevada commission actually justified? Big John brings his experience as a former referee and longtime authority on MMA rules to explain why the rule exists, where the safety concerns come from, and whether the commission is taking things too far. Josh and Big John also discuss the difference between dangerous behavior inside the cage and harmless emotional celebrations after a fight, and whether there should be some common-sense discretion when it comes to enforcing these rules. The commission's concerns aren't completely without precedent—the infamous UFC 229 Khabib Nurmagomedov–Conor McGregor brawl showed how quickly fighters leaving the cage can create chaos. But does that justify punishing fighters who simply climb the cage after a win? Should fighters be fined for celebrating—or should the commission use some common sense?
Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez suffered another setback at UFC Sacramento, and Brendan Schaub breaks down what the loss means for his future in the UFC.Is Fluffy simply too small for the middleweight division?

Plus, what's next for Gregory “RoboCop” Rodrigues after the win? Brendan also reacts to Bo Nickal's recent wrestling loss and pushes back against fans claiming Bo is “washed,” discusses UFC fighter pay, the UFC's growing involvement in professional jiu-jitsu, Conor McGregor and Max Holloway going back and forth, Paddy Pimblett potentially moving to welterweight, and Jorge Masvidal's possible UFC return. Plus, fan questions on Ian Machado Garry's championship potential, Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson's GOAT case, Islam Makhachev, Michael Morales and more.Big Brown Breakdown 529 with Brendan Schaub.Subscribe for UFC news, MMA breakdowns, fight reactions and fan questions.Progressive - https://progressive.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Daniel Cormier IS BACK after UFC 329 made headlines with Paddy Pimblett, Max Holloway, and Gable Stevenson all facing potential money withheld because of jumping on the cage after their victories. Technically speaking, rules do not allow fighters to exit the cage after a victory, but DC argues that the emotion of a massive victory and given the stakes of all three of their fights, the rule NEEDS TO CHANGE. Paddy Pimblett had a nasty first-round submission of Benoit Saint-Denis, Max avenged a loss vs. Conor McGregor, and Gable made his UFC debut with an incredible knockout victory. Cormier talks about when he did that against Stipe Miocic after his KO win at UFC 226, and why speaking from experience, these fighters should be allowed to show their emotion in those big wins. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

UFC 329 delivered one of the biggest nights of the year, and now former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver joins Josh Thomson to break down all the biggest storylines coming out of Las Vegas. The panel reacts to Conor McGregor's injury and what it means for his future, Paddy Pimblett's breakout performance and whether he's ready for the UFC's elite, Mario Bautista's statement win, Brandon Royval's continued rise in the flyweight division, and King Green's performance on one of the biggest cards of the year. They also discuss Robert Whittaker's move to light heavyweight and whether it could extend his championship aspirations. The guys also give their thoughts on Gable Steveson's explosive UFC debut after the Olympic gold medalist scored a first-round knockout, and discuss just how high his ceiling could be in the heavyweight division. Finally, Josh and Jens tackle one of the biggest business questions in MMA: How many people watched UFC 329 on Paramount+? Will the event's viewership rival—or even surpass—the historic UFC White House card? The panel shares its predictions and discusses what the numbers could mean for the UFC's new broadcast era. While official UFC 329 viewership figures have not yet been released, industry speculation has focused on whether the event can approach the White House card's massive audience.

Max Holloway and Conor McGregor's rematch at UFC 329 raises just as many questions as it provided answers. The former UFC champions met in a rematch 13 years in the making, with McGregor returning to action for the first time since 2021, but there was little satisfaction for either fighter as McGregor was forced to bow out with an apparent knee injury just 69 seconds into the contest. Holloway got the win, but didn't get the chance to put on a bounce-back performance after his recent loss to Charles Oliveira. And McGregor? He didn't even get to fight and with one more bout left on his UFC contract and potentially another long layoff ahead of him, his future is murkier than ever. On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss where Holloway and McGregor can possibly go from here, with both fighters likely done for 2026. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Paddy Pimblett, who arguably stole the show with a stunning submission of Benoit Saint Denis, plus main card winners Mario Bautista, Brandon Royval, and King Green. We also dig into the prelims to figure out what's next for Robert Whittaker in his light heavyweight journey, and how the UFC should build blue-chip heavyweight prospect Gable Steveson. Plus, the fellas take your matchmaking suggestions at the end of the show. Follow Mike Heck: @m_heckjr Follow Alexander K.
