Fight Breakdowns That Actually Break Things Down

Anyone can tell you who won. We explain why they won, how they won, and what it means for their next five fights. Our technical analysis goes beyond "good striking" to examine footwork, cage craft, and the mental chess match that separates champions from gatekeepers.

Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje fight for an interim lightweight title that means nothing. Dave, AJ D’Alesio, and Fred Garcia explained why the UFC’s subscription model will prioritize star power over merit, making 2026 “the year the UFC gives us a bunch of fights no one asked for.” Plus Merab Dvalishvili’s fighter-of-the-year debate after his UFC 323 loss, Brandon Royval vs Manel Kape predictions, and the six-week UFC drought before the Paramount deal begins.
