Dave Simon makes a compelling case for why Ciryl Gane presents unique problems for Tom Aspinall: “It’s hard not to pick Aspinall. However, Ciryl is competent. He’s capable of winning the fight. Aspinall is probably the safer pick. But Cyril could easily win that fight, especially at heavyweight.”

WWE Crown Jewel 2025: The Preview That Became Reality

You know that feeling when you’re watching a “special event” and it just feels… different? Like a house show on a grand scale? That’s what a lot of fans, and especially the Wrestling Uncensored crew, thought about Crown Jewel 2025.
It’s a show built for a specific crowd on a specific night, designed to create a buzz, not to build long-term storylines. When Dave Simon called it a “glorified spot show,” he wasn’t trying to be rude. He was just being honest. With no titles on the line and matches like John Cena vs. AJ Styles happening purely for the nostalgia, the results were predictable.
Seth beats Cody. Stephanie beats Tiffany. Roman beats Bronson. Rhea beats the Kabuki Warriors.
And you know what? That’s okay. Because sometimes, a show doesn’t need to change the wrestling world forever. It just needs to be a fun night for the fans in the building. As Johnny North said, it’s a show that’s meant to “just give some Australians a good time,” and in that sense, it was a total success.

Yet, in the latest episode of Ringside Report MMA, hosts Dave Simon and Fred Garcia posed a question that will ignite debate among every fight fan: Could “The Machine” already be the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet?
Our hosts didn’t pull any punches, offering a breakdown that goes beyond the numbers to get to the heart of what makes Dvalishvili so special. From his relentless cardio and suffocating pressure to his strategic evolution as a mixed martial artist, the case for Merab is more than compelling—it’s undeniable.
Read on as we delve into the full, no-holds-barred analysis from the Ringside Report MMA crew. They break down not only the Dvalishvili vs. Sandhagen co-main, but also the main event and the rest of the UFC 320 card, including their official parlay picks for your betting slips.
