Summary
WHAT IS UP, fight fans?! It is officially fight week and you are locked in with the absolute authorities on all things MMA—this is The Anik & Florian Podcast, Episode 585, coming at you LIVE from the ATS Fight studios! We are coming off a wild weekend of action and we’ve got a absolutely STACKED show for you guys today. Jon and Kenny are breaking down the biggest news in the sport, including a SHOCKING turn of events at the top of the light heavyweight division. BUCKLE UP, because we’ve got the one and only Ray Longo in the building, and we’re looking ahead to an absolute banger of a main event in Miami.
First up, we have to address the elephant in the room: Alex Pereira has vacated the light heavyweight title. What does this mean for Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg who are set to headline UFC 327? We’re breaking down the ripple effects LIVE. Plus, we’ve got a full recap of UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh, and we need to talk about that POST-FIGHT BRAWL at RAF 6 after Arman Tsarukyan’s win! Aljamain Sterling is also calling for a UFC title shot after his win over Benson Henderson, where does he fit in the 145lb mix? THEN, we look ahead to UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira II. We’ve got Ian Parker (@IanParkerMMA) here for the Main-Event Challenge, and we’re taking you through every single fight on the card, from Xiao Long vs. Cody Garbrandt all the way to that MASSIVE lightweight headliner for the BMF title between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira.
We’re placing our bets and breaking down the numbers, including our $3K challenge for the PYB. Let’s get into it!
