Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Hughes

This week on The Craic, Petesy Carroll calls on Ben Fowlkes and Drake Riggs to talk combat sports' biggest and weirdest headlines.They open the show by debating whether the inevitable Amanda Nunes vs. Kayla Harrison bout could be the biggest women's MMA fight of all time (4:09).Next, the trio turn their attention to this weekend's UFC Fight Night main event: Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley. Petesy and the boys unpack the key narratives heading into the matchup, including Usman's bold three-fight plan to achieve double-champ status (26:04).It's been another weird week for PFL. Not only does it seem they might be fumbling the Paul Hughes vs. Usman Nurmagomedov rematch, but they've also strangely been linked to Russell Brand. The guys weigh in on another disappointing spread of headlines for the PFL (43:56).To end on a high note, the chaps look ahead to a stacked weekend of combat sports action. From GLORY 100 to BKFC Ice Wars, there's plenty for fight fans to enjoy (1:02:48).

The fellas discuss Jack Della Maddalena's impressive win over Belal Muhammad that potentially turned the welterweight division upside down.

Plus, LT and BC comment on the perceived retirement of Jose Aldo. And Irish MMA rising star Paul Hughes made his PFL return and needed just 42 seconds to finish Bruno Miranda before an emotional callout of Usman Nurmagomedov for a rematch.

Ireland's own Sean Sheehan reacts to Paul Hughes' demolition of Bruno Miranda at 2025 PFL Europe 1.

Petesy Carroll is joined by familiar faces Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes to talk all things UFC 315.The lads kick off the show by breaking down the fallout from Jose Aldo's weight struggles, including how it could impact his chances against Aiemann Zahabi (3:02).After debating whether the tail end of Aldo's career is being mishandled, Petesy shifts the focus to this weekend's main event. The trio discuss Belal Muhammad finally earning the respect of the oddsmakers, and whether Jack Della Maddalena is being overlooked as the challenger (20:01).The result of the UFC 315 main event will also determine Islam Makhachev's next move, so the chaps unpack just how much intrigue his subplot adds to the card (22:55).There's also plenty of attention on the co-main event. Chuck recaps his conversation with title challenger Manon Fiorot, offering fresh insight into how she sees her clash with Valentina Shevchenko playing out (38:38).Despite the strong matchups, UFC 315 might struggle to fill the arena. The lads weigh in on lackluster ticket sales and whether the UFC is pricing out local fans with steep prices (48:48).To close the show, Petesy touches on Paul Hughes's homecoming fight against Bruno Miranda, as well as some unfortunate headlines surrounding the PFL (1:01:05).Join us on the bike: avironactive.com/uncrowned

Petesy opens the show by teeing up the biggest stories of the week, then dives into an exclusive sit-down interview with rising Irish star Paul Hughes (06:17). Hughes kicks things off by sharing how it feels to headline his homecoming fight at the SSE Arena in Belfast. He and Petesy take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about Paul's roots in the local amateur scene. The Irishman gets real about his hopes for a rematch with Usman Nurmagomedov, and lays out how he thinks that fight would play out (16:36). Next, Hughes gives his take on the rising talents of Europe. He breaks down the upcoming bout between fellow Irishman Ian Garry and Carlos Prates (32:02), reacts to Paddy Pimblett's shocking win over Michael Chandler (36:16), and talks sparring sessions with Ilia Topuria (37:36). To wrap things up, Hughes gets candid about the fallout from Conor McGregor's comments on his moment of respect with Khabib Nurmagomedov (43:03). He highlights how much his Northern Irish roots mean to him and how he stays focused on the positives, despite the noise. On the back end of the show, Petesy is joined by Andy Stevenson of Severe MMA (50:18). The two break down the importance of Paul Hughes's rise, Ian Garry's short-notice fight against Carlos Prates, and much more.

Petesy Carroll is joined by Uncrowned's Ben Fowlkes to discuss Beniel Dariush potentially leaking Dustin Poirier meeting his old rival Max Holloway in his retirement fight (8:39). Just after getting the show underway, the news hits of three weigh misses for this weekend's Apex card (14:40), before the conversation returns to Poirier (19:59). The lads ponder when Ilia Topuria will make his 155-pound debut with Charles Oliveira's camp claiming that the Brazilian has a fight booked for International Fight Week (29:15). In the wake of UFC 313, Petesy and Ben weigh-in on the changing narrative around Alex Pereira with the likes of Daniel Cormier claiming the defeat to Magomed Anakalev underlined how the knockout artist is simply too small for the maximum weight-class (39:56). With the announcement of Paul Hughes' homecoming bout against Bruno Miranda taking place in Belfast in May, Petesy asks Ben if he thinks PFL fumbled the bag by not immediately booking the Irishman's rematch with Usman Nurmagomedov (50:58). Finally, the return of Jeremy Stephens is brought into focus and the lads wonder if his re-signing to the UFC is a bad thing for BKFC on the back of his highly publicised knockout of Eddie Alvarez in Philadelphia (59:58).

Paul Hughes, former UK military special operator / military intelligence, joins the podcast to talk about building shared situational awareness and the art of being "the glue" for multi-disciplinary teams.

On Episode 3,540, the guys had two guests join the show. The first was Paul Hughes, who just came off of an epic fight with Usman Nurmagomedov. The next guest was Burt Watson, who came by to promote his book and talk a little about his fight with cancer. They also talked a little UFC Fight Night 251.

On today's episode, I react to what we saw this past weekend at UFC Saudi Arabia, including my issue with Michael ‘Venom' Page being the underdog in his win over Shara ‘Bullet' Magomedov, and why I don't envy the position that Israel Adesanya finds himself in after losing to Nassourdine Imavov. Plus, Dana White said he will explore other options if they can't make Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall happen, even though I don't believe Jones has officially been offered that fight yet. Then, why I should've begun investing in TKO earlier. And finally, did Khabib Nurmagomedov give Conor McGregor PTSD? And why is McGregor attacking fellow countryman Paul Hughes? Gambling problem?

On today's episode, Petesy is joined by fellow Irish media members Andy Stevenson and Donagh Corby.Corby, who is on the scene in Dubai, gave his account of the incident between Irish and Dagestani fans at the PFL's weigh-in for the fight between Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes (3:00).Stevenson underlined the impact a Hughes win could have on Irish MMA (18:00), before rebuking claims that this is a one-fight card (23:00) and lads gave their picks for the main event (32:00).The conversation moves to Arman Tsarukyan's sticky situation with the UFC and whether the lads believe he should lose his title opportunity due to an eleventh hour UFC 311 withdrawal (40:00).They also discuss the idea of Sean O'Malley meeting Cory Sandhagen instead of the former champion facing Merab Dvalishvili in a rematch (47:00).Finally, the lads rank what event they're looking forward the most this weekend between PFL, BKFC and the highly anticipated GFL Draft (51:45).

With the UFC taking a week off, this weekend belongs to the other combat sports promotions in the world and they're taking advantage of it. On Saturday, BKFC returns for its big Knucklemania 5 event in Philadelphia, headlined by a five-round scrap between Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens. But before that goes down, PFL hosts its first event of 2025 with a Champions Series card in Dubai headlined by a sensational lightweight title fight between Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes. MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee take a deep dive into both big combat sports cards this weekend, including who wins the BKFC headliner, how the BKFC heavyweight title fight between Mick Terrill and Ben Rothwell might go, which other fights they're looking forward to on Saturday, answer viewer questions, and more.
