We go over last weeks news, Fight announcements, cancelations and more.

Dan Hooker vs Paddy Pimblett, Keyboard warriors delight.

Jon Jones and DC can't squash the beef.

Dana Whites lacklustre fight announcements.

Cheers and enjoy.

Big news over the break in MMA and combat sports, so we cover a stack of it. Sean Strickland gives his honest take on Khamzat, we talk about how an annual Paramount+ sub is somehow cheaper than a single PPV, and react to Mike Tyson weighing in on Conor.

There’s some proper chaos too. Andrei Arlovski getting caught up with Jack Doherty and his crew, Gamebred trying to sweet talk Kayla and Poatan’s kid looking scary at just 14.

McGregor’s everywhere as usual.

Hosting a TV show, helping out the homeless, and even talk of the Trump family putting money behind him.

We get into the serious stuff as well, including the Anthony Joshua car crash in Nigeria, the reports around it, possible retirement.

On the fight front, Magomed wants a third crack at Alex, Tom Aspinall’s dealing with surgery, its bad.

Jiri’s being Jiri, and Gaethje might be battling a staph infection or BBQ sauce

We also chat Jake Paul’s curse, the Morales situation with his record being changed, JDM calling out Shavkat, and the possibility of a wild White House card with Anik reckoning there could be six or seven title fights.

Plus a few wholesome moments with JDM and Neon to balance out the madness.

Bit of news, bit of nonsense, and plenty of opinions. Get amongst it.

Big episode this week. We kick things off with a breakdown of UFC Royval vs Kape, then roll straight into our very first Piestrong MMA Awards. We’re handing out gongs for KO of the Year, Sub of the Year, Brawl of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Fighter of the Year, we are undecided so Performance of the Year goes out to a Fan decision.

Plenty of fight news to get through as well. Burns vs Malott, Neal vs Holland, Oliveira vs Bautista headlining the first Fight Night, Costa vs Ferreira, Ciao vs RDR, and a quick look at some surprisingly decent bare-knuckle scraps.

Then it’s a full sweep of the MMA news. Jiri’s gender reveal, Poatan’s ridiculous stats, Prates ruffling feathers, Volk rocking the Street Fighter haircut, Usman Nurmagomedov possible coming to the UFC, and Conor finally tying the knot with Dee. We get into Islam’s situation with the UFC, Ilia Topuria’s growing list of problems, Francis continuing to be a walking disaster, Buckley offering Khamzat 50 grand just to stay on his feet, and the usual rankings chaos, fighter cuts, trolling, and doping dramas.

We wrap it up with a few current events, including what’s happening in Bondi

Crack a beer and settle in. 🍻🥊
