You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast.

And now your hosts, Ben Fulks and Chad Dundas.

That's right.

You're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

I'm Chad Dundas. That's Ben Fulks. We're both longtime MMA journalists and for nearly the last 14 years.

We've been meeting here every week to break down all the action in the wild, weird, and occasionally wonderful world of mixed martial arts.

And the UFC 325 occurred over the weekend.

You had Alexander Volcanowski go out there, successfully defend the men's featherweight title in a rematch against Diego Lopez. Unanimous decision in that one.

Thrilling the home fans down there in Sydney, Australia. So I think we'll probably talk about that fight and its ramifications here at the beginning of the show.

We got some great listener mail we're going to get to at the bottom of the hour. Talk a little bit more about some of the other stuff we saw over the weekend at UFC 325 and maybe toward the end of the show. Talk a little bit about the earliest reporting about the numbers that the UFC is doing over on Paramount Plus and

what that might tell us in the very, very early days about how this partnership is going

and might go throughout the life of this deal. First of all, man, I guess Alexander Volcanowski,

I don't know what you walk away from this fight feeling aside from, he's so good, man.

He's just so damn good.

You and I had talked last week on the Power Hour over on the Patreon page about whether or not the vibes was off.

And it turns out the vibes was not

off at all for Alexander Volcanovsky, who again, competitive fight against Diego Lopez, but

emerged with the 4946-4946 50-45 decision. So pretty clear cut there. I tell you what, man.

You know what I'm impressed by Alexander Volcanovsky whenever I see him out there?

Versatility.

Yeah.

Just goes out there.
