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).

• UFC 319 top moments (00:00)
• Boring main event? (16:46)
• Best chance at beating Chimaev (26:04)

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.

Plus, Conor McGregor needs to stop shadowboxing every time he sees a camera.

To start off, I pay homage to wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

Then, should Reinier de Ridder skip the line for a title shot after he defeated Robert Whittaker in Abu Dhabi? does he get a title shot next? Plus, with the booking of Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira 2, I tell you who I think the real No. 1 contender in the light heavyweight division is.

Also, coach Javier Mendez doesn’t think Jon Jones was ever scared of Tom Aspinall, and I agree — so why didn’t the fight happen? Plus, after Max Holloway defended his BMF title at UFC 318 against Dustin Poirier, could Dan Hooker be his next challenger? Islam Makhachev also says Ilia Topuria’s No. 1 pound-for-pound ranking is just UFC marketing — but I’m not buying it. And finally, my thoughts on BJ Penn’s video asking Dana White for help.
