The UFC promised us the greatest card in history for the White House event. Six or seven title fights. Jon Jones. Conor McGregor. Francis Ngannou. What we actually received was UFC Freedom 250 — a card with Topuria vs Gaethje and Pereira vs Gane, but no superstars, no superfights, and the quiet confirmation that Jon Jones will never fight in the UFC again. This week, Jones fired back at Dana White on Twitter revealing he was actively negotiating and received stem cell treatment. Ronda Rousey went scorched earth on the streaming model. And the Conor Benn Zufa Boxing payday exposed how dramatically the UFC undervalues its own fighters. Dave Simon calls it what it is: over-promising and under-delivering.

The WrestleMania 42 card is coming into focus after a massive SmackDown. Cody Rhodes defeats Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship in a live championship match — and Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North break down every angle: the Punk-Roman promo, the Jade-Rhea letdown, Dan Hausen’s Raw redemption, and Penta’s shocking Intercontinental Title win.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 scored a 6.5 out of 10 from the Wrestling Uncensored crew — and that number is almost entirely because of Randy Orton’s stunning win in the main event. Dave Simon breaks down the one structural booking flaw that keeps killing this match every single year.

SmackDown went off the rails the night before Elimination Chamber — Jey Uso was taken out by ambulance, Bronson Reed’s injury changed the men’s field, and Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky dropped the tag titles. Dave Simon and Johnny North break down every WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 prediction and what it all means for WrestleMania.
