The moment Abu Dhabi was crowned Fight Island it's never failed to deliver incredible fight nights and UFC 333 was no exception. Alexander Volkanovski, at 38, proved that age is just a number against the unbeaten #1 most avoided fighter of the division, whilst Petr Yan retained his bantamweight belt after fight of the year or two halves against former champ Merab. Better late that never, we review all the best bits from Yas Island, after Nick finally lures Adam from his sun lounger.

Alexander Volkanovski defends the UFC featherweight title for a record time in Abu Dhabi this weekend, taking on the top contender, unbeaten Movsar Evloev, at UFC 333. Plus, the co-main event is the rubber match between Petr Yan and Merab with the bantamweight belt on the line.

Mike Malott emerged as a legit welterweight contender with a viral second-round KO of Joaquin Buckley at home in Canada, on a UFC Fight Night once again stacked with finishes. Edmonton produced 12 finishes from 14 fights, equaling the record set earlier this year, offering the question: has the quality of UFC fighters dropped or has the roster found fresh motivation to finish fights? The boys, as always, lead the debate. Check out the British Army: https://www.army.mod.uk Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

Daniel Dubois is the man. It's taken a journey to get here, but is he now the best heavyweight on the planet not named Oleksandr Usyk? With AJ and Fury about to cash out and the true landlord from Ukraine looking likely to walk away from the ring, has the smoke cleared in time for DDD to unify the belts in 2027?

The UFC Apex delivered a pretty solid fight card at the weekend featuring a wave of knockouts, plenty of drama but very little controversy – that happened on the scales the day before. Despite 8 consecutive finishes to rap about, surprisingly today's show goes heavy on judging after an event that saw a trio of weight cuts being missed and a high-profile eye-poke penalty being distributed early.

Can Chris Leroy-Duncan become the next UK UFC title contender? He can take a gigantic step with victory over #5 ranked middleweight Brendan Allen in the main event at the Apex on Saturday night. With Black Country Banger Jai Herbert in co-main event support, albeit in a polarising matchup of his own, could the Brits scored a massive double in Vegas?

Boxing is booming, right? So where have all the championship fights gone? No male world champion has had more than two world title fights this year. The pound-for-pound list is littered with single figure outings, whilst the women's game isn't much busier. In a time when stadium fights and unifications are regular, why has nobody taken 2026 by storm? Can you name a Boxer of the Year this year?

Nine first round knockouts – 11 in total – from 14 fights isn't just insane, it's a new UFC record. And so, whilst the main event may have sucked the gas out of the room – we kind of expected that – prior to the women's flyweight title being contested their was violence all over the place in Salt Lake City. We discuss the current state of women's divisions in the UFC, before getting very excited about the plethora of knockouts served up in Utah and the unveiling of three fights for UFC 335.

Ben Whittaker retained his unbeaten record in the pro ranks, but all talk of a world title fight coming next should be shelved as, once again, he muddled his way across the finish line. The Olympic silver medallist dominated Irishman Conor Wallace for nine rounds of their title eliminator, only to run out of gas and was left hanging on in the closing stages. The boys review the main event and the rest of the Birmingham card, which delivered from top to bottom.

Ben Whittaker is starting to look like the real deal inside the ropes, living up to the huge potential he had after medalling at the Olympic Games. But, who has he actually beaten? 'The Surgeon' is ranked incredibly highly by every one of the tin pot organisations, despite the fact he's never beaten anybody ranked in the top 100 at light-heavy. This weekend he gets the chance to put that straight against Irishman based Down Under Conor Wallace. Litmus test time. We also discuss Denzel Bentley's decision to walk away from his world title after seemingly being abandoned by Queensberry.

Meanwhile, world champion Hamzah Sheeraz threw his world title in the bin, but was because he was being matched with a drug cheat or due to the winning purse bid representing a pay cut in his career?

Zuffa Boxing's flagship show of 2026 ended in disaster for their high-profile British signing, but likely leveraged great hope in courting an American home audience. Ryan Garcia needed less than two rounds to expose Conor Benn's lack of championship credentials at the T-Mobile, much to the delight of the largely Mexican fanbase. Zuffa had more luck in the co-main where Jai Opetaia demolished fellow world champion Norair Mikaeljan before calling out David Benavidez next.

Live from Las Vegas, Nevada, Adam finally gets some wifi capable of previewing Zuffa's flagship card of their debut year as Ryan Garcia defends his world title against Conor Benn at the T-Mobile Arena. Technically there is likely a gulf in class between the two men. But What Conor lacks in pedigree and ability, he makes up for in heart and determination.

Jake Paul is in the MMA business for real following his Most Valuable Promotions organisation, bastion of women's pro boxing, merged with the Professional Fighters League.
