Summary
Jim Norton is joined by guest co-host RJ Clifford for a full recap of UFC 325, breaking down the card from top to bottom and reacting to the biggest performances from Sydney.
But first, the guys welcome featherweight Colby Thicknesse to the show. Thicknesse reflects on a massive weekend for two of his closest teammates, sharing his perspective on Alexander Volkanovski successfully defending his featherweight title and Mauricio Ruffy’s statement win at lightweight.
Having spent much of his life training alongside Volk — who has cornered him in both of his UFC appearances — Colby discusses what he’s learned from the featherweight GOAT and provides an update on when fans can expect to see him back in the Octagon.
With Diego Lopes coming up short in Saturday’s main event, Jim and RJ close out the episode by discussing what the featherweight contender may need to do next to earn a third title shot after going 0–2 against Volkanovski.
