First off, we have to talk about Saturday. UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Vallejos delivered in a HUGE way. We are breaking down Kevin Vallejos' STUNNING first-round demolition of Josh Emmett—is this guy the real deal at 145 or what? Plus, Gillian Robertson's dominant grappling performance over Amanda Lemos has her screaming for a title shot, and we saw some absolutely sick finishes from Bia Mesquita and Marwan Rahiki . But the news doesn't stop there. Ronda Rousey is back in the headlines with some SHOCKING comments about the UFC and her new deal with MVP, taking some serious shots at the promotion . Jon and Kenny are diving into the fallout and what it means for the landscape of MMA.
Then, we've got an absolute ALL-TIME guest lineup. First up, author and marathoner Ken Rideout joins us to talk about his incredible new book, 'Everything You Want is on the Other Side of Hard'—a must-read for anyone chasing greatness . And you KNOW the energy spikes when the legend himself, @raylongoMMA, sits down for the Ray Longo Minute. We are talking MMA, life, and everything in between. Later, Brandon McCaghren, the mastermind behind the Professional Grappling Federation (PGF), stops by to talk about the future of jiu-jitsu and the insane growth of his league . Finally, it's time to get that bag. We're breaking down the ENTIRE UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs. Murphy card with the Main Event Challenge. Undefeated Movsar Evloev puts his 19-0 record on the line against the dangerous Lerone Murphy in a featherweight banger . We have picks for MVP, Dolidze, and the rest of the slate.
