Summary
In this episode, we recap a huge weekend of fights across boxing and MMA.
We break down Ryan Garcia’s win over Mario Barrios, what it means for Garcia moving forward, and whether the performance answered the big questions heading into the fight. We also dive into the explosive co-main event between Gary Antuanne Russell and Andy Hiraoka, a high-level battle that delivered drama and momentum shifts.
Across the pond, we recap the rematch between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington in the UK.
On the MMA side, we discuss Sean Strickland’s upset win over Anthony Hernandez at UFC Fight Night, how he pulled it off, and what it says about his place in the division.
Plus, we look ahead to next week’s potential war between Eduardo Nunez and Emanuel Navarrete — a matchup that has all the ingredients for fireworks.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everyone. Welcome to the fight with Teddy Atlas. I'm Teddy Atlas III and joined as always by my main man, Nostradamus is back. |
| 0:12.0 | The boxing legend and Hall of Famer. My father, Teddy Atlas. How you doing, bud? |
| 0:17.0 | Good. I'm feeling, you know, a little better that we got off to snide, as the old times would |
| 0:26.6 | call it, and we got back on the winning track. And we were on the snide, and I felt terrible |

| 1:37.8 | So we just finished doing the live streaming. |
| 1:41.0 | We had about 20,000 people somewhere in that neighborhood watching it with us that was great and it was great doing it with you doing a |
