Summary
Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome a pair of veterans gearing up for key matchups as the UFC schedule ramps up in early 2026.
Featherweight Arnold Allen joins the show to talk about how he spent 2025 rebuilding his body and earning his black belt from the coach who first introduced him to MMA. Set to fight for the first time in nearly 18 months, Allen discusses his high-stakes matchup with Jean Silva on the main card of UFC 324.
Later, light heavyweight Dustin Jacoby stops by to discuss his second UFC run, life at FactoryX, and preparing for the long journey from Colorado to Sydney for his upcoming fight with Jimmy Crute at UFC 325. Jacoby sheds light on his kickboxing days and how sharing a card with teammate Cody Brundage is huge for the both of them.
