Summary
Jim and Matt open the show with lightweight finisher Jalin Turner, who joins ahead of his return against Edson Barboza at UFC 323. Turner explains how training with Ian Machado Garry and reconnecting with his faith pulled him out of a brief retirement, helping him rediscover balance, purpose, and confidence. He also discusses studying the sport differently, and what he expects when he steps in with a tricky veteran striker like Barboza.
The guys then shift into their UFC 323 predictions, breaking down a stacked card — from Merab Dvalishvili’s push for a historic fourth title defense of the year to Pantoja vs. Van, Moreno vs. Taira and more!
Later, former light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz checks in to talk about making one more run at 205, how he views the danger posed by surging finisher Bogdan Guskov, and what “Legendary Polish Power” looks like in this stage of his career.
Finally, Jim and Matt close out the episode with deeper analysis on some of the remaining UFC 323 matchups.
