Summary

A pair of dynamic strikers in the UFC lightweight division call into today’s show as French rising star Farès Ziam and the ever-exciting Terrance McKinney gear up for their respective fights in Saudi Arabia next week. While Jim Norton may have missed the last two shows, our beloved co-host simply CAN’T miss when it comes to fight predictions. As such, the episode begins with a quick humble brag from Jimmy, who nailed his UFC 311 picks and is now 12-0 dating back to the end of 2024. Ziam shares insights on his upcoming clash with Mike Davis in Saudi Arabia, his impressive four-fight win streak, and the influence of his family’s extensive combat sports background.. Jim and Matt wrap up the show by congratulating McKinney on becoming a father for a second time before the veteran lightweight discusses how switching gyms has changed his preparation ahead of his next challenge in Saudi Arabia.
