There was a full combat sports slate last weekend with UFC Vegas 113, PFL Dubai, and BKFC Knucklemania 6 all going down on Saturday. In the UFC, Mario Bautista throttled Vinicius Oliveira, Kyoji Horiguchi stamped himself as a legitimate flyweight contender by schooling Amir Albazi, and Rizvan Kuniev and Jailton Almeida had one of the worst fights you'll ever see—leading to Almeida's release this week. Meanwhile, Usman Nurmagomedov delivered a dominant win over Alfie Davis in PFL, and Andre Arlovski turned back the clock one more time to claim the BKFC heavyweight title. On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to UFC Vegas 113, PFL Dubai, and Knucklemania 6. Topics discussed include whether this win changes things for Bautista, whether Horiguchi deserves a title shot next, what to make of Almeida's release and whether the UFC should keep the heavyweight division, where Nurmagomedov ranks in the lightweight division, Arlovski's career longevity, other news and notes, and more.

With UFC 319 right around the corner, Petesy Carroll joins forces with Ben Fowlkes to break down the card's biggest talking points.After reacting to the weigh-in results (7:23), they dive straight into the main event. Is this Khamzat Chimaev's coronation, or are fans once again underestimating Dricus Du Plessis? The boys tackle it all (11:03).UFC 319's co-main event, Lerone Murphy vs. Aaron Pico, is another intriguing matchup. Petesy and Ben debate whether UFC debut jitters could affect Pico and if Murphy is being overlooked as a betting underdog (28:14).Next, the duo break down their favorite matchups from the rest of the card, including Carlos Prates' bid to get back in the win column against Geoff Neal (35:30) and Michael “Venom” Page's move up to middleweight to face Jared Cannonier (38:28).Wrapping up the UFC 319 talk, Petesy and Ben share their official Uncrowned picks (44:28) before shifting to how the UFC–Paramount deal could impact fighter pay (47:52).To cap things off, Petesy and Ben react to the highly anticipated announcement of Paul Hughes vs. Usman Nurmagomedov (01:04:28) and the news that Conor McGregor is back in the testing pool (01:09:17).
Luke Thomas of Morning Kombat is back to help Sean answer some of the biggest questions in combat sports at the moment. Is Marcus Almeida a heavyweight legend in waiting? Is the lack of any male UFC champs from the United States just happenstance, or is it a symptom of a larger issue? Is Ilia Topuria vs. Islam Makhachev doomed to be the great lost superfight of the 2020s? All this and more on an incredible episode of The Sheehan Show.0:00 Marcus Buchecha's Octagon Debut: Instant problem for UFC HWs?9:50 Ilia Topuria: Let's talk about this all-time run17:48 UFC at the White House: Will it happen and is it a good thing?22:39 There are zero American male UFC champs right now.

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).
Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell are live in the studio Monday to break down the results of UFC 315. The fellas discuss Jack Della Maddalena's impressive win over Belal Muhammad that potentially turned the welterweight division upside down. Valentina Shevchenko relied upon her veteran ability to make championship adjustments, outpointing a red-hot Manon Fiorot. What does this mean for Shevchenko's legacy? 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. Start your Monday with Morning Kombat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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).
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.

Luke and BC are back to recap all the news from this weekend and look ahead to some great events. Starting with PFL Dubai, Usman Nurmagomedov edges Paul Hughes in instant classic. Was Usman-Hughes the best fight in PFL history? Plus, in BKFC, Conor McGregor calls out Jeremy Stephens following Stephens TKO of Eddie Alvarez. From selling a Philadelphia combat sports record of 17,762 seats in a sold-out Wells Fargo Center to having Conor McGregor call for a faceoff with main event winner Jeremy Stephens after an exciting night of fights full of household, ex-UFC names, did BKFC just prove -- in an odd way -- that it's currently the No. 2 MMA promotion in the world behind UFC?
