We discuss a wonderful performance from Gilbert Burns.

We examine the way that Henry Cejudo took the great Dominick Cruz apart. Some of it was built on Cody Garbrandt’s success, some of it was entirely Cejudo’s own.

The difference between Ristie and everyone else came down to constant use of what this writer would call an “advanced fundamental”: generating concussive punching power off one leg.

Against the scariest leg locker in MMA history and with a significant weight disadvantage, Garry Tonon was able to take the guard and make it fit for purpose once more.

Back into the film room we go as we examine Cruz vs Dillashaw.

Jack provides some commentary as he revisits classic fights.

For one night only, Cody Garbrandt was the finest fighter on earth.

Demian Maia had a rough go of it on Saturday night, but one Jiu Jitsu old timer was still out there being weird and getting away with it.

We examine the match up and discuss the very obvious motive behind it.

A rather optimistic look ahead to boxing in 2020

Ahead of his title fight with Max Holloway, we discuss Volk's surprising kickboxing performances in his last two fights. 

Ruiz's lightning fast combos must be avoided or further embarrassment could be in store for AJ
