SleepyJ and Mean Gene talk UFC 324 betting. UFC 324 marks the promotion's return after a six week hiatus, with the first event airing on Paramount Plus from T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. SleepyJ and Mean Gene break down the card with a betting focused lens, highlighting the platform shift, earlier start times, and a main card built around recognizable names and divisional stakes. The headliner features Justin Gaethje against Patti Pimlett, a matchup framed as a defining test for Pimlett and a potential final run moment for Gaethje. Both hosts lean toward Pimlett, citing his grappling strength, confidence, and recent performance, with expectations that the fight ends inside the distance by submission or stoppage. They note Gaethje's power and durability but question his long term resilience after years of high damage bouts and recent retirement talk. The co main event pits Sean O Malley against Song Yidong following the cancellation of the originally planned Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunez fight. O Malley is viewed as a motivated contender looking to re enter the title picture, with his striking precision, reach, and movement expected to exploit Song's defensive openings. Both analysts believe the betting line undervalues O Malley and anticipate either a knockout or a decisive performance that positions him for another championship opportunity. On the rest of the main card, Natalia Silva is favored heavily over Rose Namajunas, with volume, pace, and trajectory cited as key factors. Silva is described as a future title challenger, while Namajunas is respected for her résumé but seen as struggling against the division's emerging elite. The heavyweight bout between Waldo Cortez Acosta and Derrick Lewis draws divided opinions, with SleepyJ preferring a fight ending inside the distance while Mean Gene takes a plus money shot on Lewis, emphasizing heavyweight volatility and knockout power. The prelim headliner features Umar Nurmagomedov against Davidson Figueredo, where Nurmagomedov is expected to make a statement following a recent loss, with both hosts favoring a finish rather than a decision. Overall, UFC 324 is presented as a strong return card, blending divisional clarity, betting value, and potential star building moments as the UFC enters a new broadcast era.

In today's episode, a moment in history is made — Fares' first-ever solo show.He breaks down everything happening in the world of combat sports, starting with the controversial ending to UFC 321's main event, where Tom Aspinall suffered an eye poke (1:59). Unintentional vs. intentional (6:10) — and what's next for the heavyweight division (7:17)? Plus, Alex Pereira and Jon Jones keep trolling (10:51).Mackenzie Dern captures her first UFC title against Virna Jandiroba — what does this mean for the strawweight division (13:06)? Umar Nurmagomedov takes out a tough Mario Bautista (16:37), and Alexander Volkov vs. Jailton Almeida turns into a “stink poopy” (18:28). Fares also shares his thoughts on the rest of the prelims (21:54).Other topics include Conor McGregor's “spiritual journey” (27:23) and the rumored Ilia vs. Paddy matchup (29:32).https://www.instagram.com/thehbpod_/
While UFC 321 is in the rear-view mirror, the aftertaste has lasted a lot longer than most events we've seen this year following the eye poke from Ciryl Gane to Tom Aspinall that ended the main event in a no-contest, leaving the MMA community with more questions than answers, and a division amongst the fanbase, overall. Despite the unfortunate ending to the fight, has Aspinall's stock dropped overall, even though he was not the one who committed the foul? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout from the Aspinall vs. Gane fight, Dana White's comments at the post-fight press conference, Mackenzie Dern becoming the UFC strawweight champion, and much more from the most recent pay-per-view event. Additionally, topics may include Umar Nurmagomedov's victory over Mario Bautista and where he goes next, Dirty Boxing's event on Thursday night headlined by Gable Steveson vs. Billy Swanson, the UFC's return to the APEX this Saturday with Steve Garcia vs. David Onama in the headline spot, and whatever else is on your mind.

Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell are live in the studio on a Morning Kombat Monday to go over all the news from UFC 321 — starting with the eye poke seen around the world. The guys answer questions surrounding the disappointing no contest result after Tom Aspinall was on the receiving end of a Ciryl Gane eye poke.

The unfortunate end to UFC 321 left a bad taste in the mouths of MMA fans as an accidental eye poke from Ciryl Gane led to the main event against heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall ending in a No Contest. Considering how things went down, it seems as if the UFC will run that fight back, but is that the fight to make following the historic ending to the contest? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss where Aspinall and Gane go from the brutal ending to Saturday's pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Mackenzie Dern and Virna Jandiroba following Dern's vacant strawweight championship victory in the co-main event, Umar Nurmagomedov after his unanimous decision win over Mario Bautista in the featured bout, Alexander Volkov following his split decision win over Jailton Almeida, along with fellow main card winner Azamat Murzakanov, and more.

SleepyJ and MeanGene talk betting for the entire main card of UFC 321. Sleepy J and Mean Gene break down the entire UFC 321 main card from Abu Dhabi in a fast-paced betting preview. They open with their best bet—Azamat Mirzakhanov over Aleksandar Rakić—calling him the hungrier fighter with knockout power and better fight IQ while questioning Rakić's motivation and durability after a long layoff. They both see Mirzakhanov's aggression, southpaw power, and confidence carrying him through, especially overseas where judges may favor pressure and damage. They next debate Jailton Almeida vs Alexander Volkov: Sleepy J likes the veteran Volkov's size, balance, and cardio at dog odds, while Gene sides with Almeida for his submission skills and athletic upside but warns of cardio issues if it goes late. In the bantamweight bout, they tackle Umar Nurmagomedov vs Mario Bautista. Sleepy J grabs Bautista at +440 just for the value, citing his streak and toughness, but admits Umar likely wins; Gene breaks down Umar's title-fight loss to Merab Dvalishvili, the broken hand, his elite grappling, and motivation to reclaim the title, calling him a “guaranteed” parlay piece even at –600. Sleepy J then drops a promo code before they preview the co-main—Mackenzie Dern vs Virna Jandiroba—for the vacant strawweight title. Gene picks Dern, citing her improved striking, world-class jiu-jitsu, and UFC marketing push but admits her wrestling and tendency to crumble under bright lights are concerns; he expects a submission or decision win if she stays composed. Sleepy J counters with Jandiroba, highlighting her five-fight win streak over names like Angela Hill and Marina Rodriguez and the revenge angle from losing to Dern years ago, arguing the line is off and that Dern is being overvalued for marketability. Finally, they dive deep on the heavyweight title fight—Tom Aspinall vs Ciryl Gane. Sleepy J sees both as elite athletes but leans Aspinall and bets the over 1.5 rounds, thinking both start cautiously; he views Aspinall as the next long-term champ once he beats Gane. Gene delivers his most confident take ever, calling Aspinall a generational heavyweight—fast, technical, powerful, and mentally tougher—and insists Gane's poor ground game, low fight IQ, and quit factor from the Jon Jones fight will doom him. He predicts Aspinall by submission and urges listeners to parlay him at –300 to –400 or take “inside the distance” at –275 as safer value. The show closes with Sleepy J praising Gene's conviction, both agreeing Aspinall rules the division unless Jon Jones returns for legacy money, and teasing an extended episode for UFC 322, which they expect to be one of the best cards in years, urging fans to follow them on X and use promo code TOM20 at Pregame dot com for 20% off.

After a 455 day absence, Tom Aspinall returned to the UFC octagon to defend his newly-minted heavyweight title for the first time against Ciryl Gane, and despite the challenger being a massive underdog, Gane was prepared for the test. Unfortunately, an accidental, yet brutal eye poke from Gane led to the first championship fight coming to an abrupt end via No Contest in UFC history. Following UFC 321, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the awful ending of the card that had fans up in arms, how Aspinall and Gane both looked before the fight was stopped, and if the UFC should run it right back. Additionally, they discuss Mackenzie Dern capturing the vacant strawweight title in the co-main event with a decision win over Virna Jandiroba, Umar Nurmagomedov defeating Mario Bautista, bonus winners, plus fan questions, and much more.

For the first time in 455 days, Tom Aspinall walks to the UFC's octagon on Saturday to compete — but this time, he'll do so as the undisputed heavyweight champion, putting his title on the line for the first time against former interim champ Ciryl Gane. While this is likely Gane's last chance to become a full-on world champion, how much pressure is on Aspinall to deliver the goods at UFC 321? Ahead of Saturday's pay-per-view event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew preview the card, the headliner between Aspinall and Gane, along with the stakes attached — both short and long term — for both fighters. Additionally, they'll discuss Virna Jandiroba vs. Mackenzie Dern 2 for the vacant strawweight title and where the division goes from Saturday, Umar Nurmagomedov attempting to bounce back from his loss to Merab Dvalishvili as he faces Mario Bautista, low-key fights and storylines, plus, they'll answer fan questions, and more.

The UFC heavyweight title reign of Tom Aspinall kicks off Saturday in the main event of UFC 321 as he defends his newly-minted undisputed title against Ciryl Gane. A lot has been made about the pressure Aspinall has heading into the fight, but is it a little bit overblown? Or, does Aspinall truly have more weight on his shoulders than most in UFC history heading into a fight? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses what's at stake for the rising heavyweight star, the pressure on Gane, and where an Aspinall loss would rank in all-time shocking moments. Additionally, topics may include Din Thomas' comments about the co-main event for the vacant strawweight title between Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern, Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Mario Bautista, other burning questions from the card, the full UFC 323 lineup being revealed, the fallout from UFC Vancouver, and much more.
