This past weekend we saw two terrific performances. The first came from the UFC's latest blooming 170-pound star in Michael Morales, who got the job done in dominant fashion against for UFC title challenger, Gilbert Burns. The second was former UFC fighter, Darren Till, who put on a highly-entertaining slugfest with his willing dance partner, Darren Stewart. Till came out on top and stays on track for a potential fight against Jake Paul or Tommy Fury!

I go through the history of the UFC's broadcast deals and what could be next for the world's largest fight organization! Also, HOW MUCH OF A FACTOR WAS CONOR MCGREGOR'S DRAW back in 2018 when it came to negotiations from FOX SPORTS TO ESPN??? Will the UFC be able to double their broadcast deal ($2.1B / 7 years)??

Another UFC ppv is in the books as Australia's own joins an elite group of Oceanic fighters to wear UFC gold as he took out fmr UFC champion Belal Muhammad to secure the title. Now, with an influx of young talent at 170-pounds, what matchups do you want to see next? The division is gearing up for a huge second half of 2025. Also, Valentina Shevchenko stays locked in and furthers her incredibly outstanding body of work.

There has been a narrative going around the internet that MMA/UFC has a "star problem", that with McGregor's fighting career winding down there is a major issue regarding ACTIVE star athletes on the current roster. Is this a reality , or are the talking heads just trying to stir the pot?

Alexander Volkanovski is the first -155lb fighter in UFC history to win a UFC title at 35 years of age or older when he won the vacant UFC featherweight belt over Diego Lopes at UFC 314 in Miami, FL.
