Sean Strickland is SUSPENDED! What does it mean for his hopes of becoming a champion again? I'll discus that and the PACKED middleweight division, which features three former champs in Strickland, Dricus du Plessis, and Israel Adesanya, and a whole bunch of young guys waiting for their shot. Speaking of whom, Reineir de Ridder has a path to the title, but what is it? I'll get into that, and then I'll make Dricus du Plessis an offer he can't refuse. Plus, Jon Jones did an interview half-drunk, my take on the latest pound-for-pound rankings, as well as my thoughts on Gable Steveson's foray into MMA.

UFC 319 is in the books, and I begin with the top 10 moments from Saturday night in Chicago. Then, I react to the narrative that the main card was “boring,” and whether that’s fair. Plus, after Khamzat Chimaev’s domination of Dricus du Plessis, I’ll tell you how Chimaev's next opponent can beat him.

Also, what's next for Aaron Pico following his brutal loss to Lerone Murphy? And finally, TUF 33 wrapped up on Saturday ... and Team Sonnen won (technically).

Chapters:

• UFC 319 top moments (00:00)
• Boring main event? (16:46)
• Best chance at beating Chimaev (26:04)
• Next for Aaron Pico (35:35)
• I won The Ultimate Fighter (43:57)

The UFC signed a massive deal to move to Paramount starting in 2026 - ending pay-per-views! I’ll tell you what that means for fans and fighters. Then, Caio Borralho finds himself in an unusual spot as the backup for UFC 319’s main event in Chicago, while still set to face Nassourdine Imavov in three weeks.

Also, Khamzat Chimaev says his striking will be the key to beating Dricus du Plessis, but who’s actually the better striker? Plus, why I’m interested in what happens when an unfiltered du Plessis and Chimaev share a press conference, and whether a loss for Chimaev would be a career ender.

Later, a fight week video of du Plessis and Chimaev shaking hands has people debating who’s bigger - but does it really matter? And finally, my official prediction for the main event!
