Two years after Tom Aspinall said he would retire Jon Jones without even fighting him, that's exactly what happened as UFC president Dana White relayed the news of Jones' exit at the UFC Baku postfight press conference.

The final studio show of the year is here as MORNING KOMBAT has you covered for all things combat sports. Starting in MMA, Luke and BC recap UFC Tampa where Joaquin Buckley stops Colby Covington on cuts, calls out Kamaru Usman. Buckley became just the 2nd fighter (joining Kamaru Usman) to stop Covington via KO/TKO. Now riding a 6-fight win streak since cutting down to 170 pounds, with victories over Luque, Wonderboy and Colby, is it time to take Newmansa seriously as a title contender?  Plus, Dana White "100 percent" guarantees Jones-Aspinall happens in 2025.

In the main event, Alexandre Pantoja submitted a feisty, but overmatched Kai Asakura in the second round of Saturday's main event. If he can't get a Demetrious Johnson fight, what should be next for him? Is Pantoja the second-best flyweight of all time? Plus, in a huge co-main event, Shavkat Rakhmonov earned the decision win over Ian Garry, but is it fair to say Garry's stock might've risen more than Rakhmonov's?

A slow weekend in the world of combat sports, but it doesn't mean MK takes days off. On this episode of MORNING KOMBAT, Luke and BC start by recapping a fun UFC Macau event. In the main event, Petr Yan reclaims elite status with a thrilling five-round win over Deiveson Figueiredo. After 4 losses in previous 6 bouts, the 31-year-old Yan looked completely reborn. Was this performance strong enough for UFC brass to consider Yan leapfrogging Umar Nurmagomedov for next shot at Merab Dvalishvilli's title? On the undercard, Yan Xiaonan was absolutely dominant in cooling off a not-ready-for-primetime Tabatha Ricci in Saturday's co-main event. Was this performance more about Yan reclaiming her elite, title-contending status or Tabatha Ricci proving she's not ready for primetime in what amounted to a step-up fight? In non-fight news, Conor McGregor's civil trial ended with the MMA start being 'found liable of rape'. How much do you expect the fallout of this trial to affect both McGregor's behavior and his reputation/brand power moving forward?

A low key weekend on tap for combat sports, but there is some action in the UFC! On MORNING KOMBAT, Luke and BC preview this weekends UFC fight night card from Macau. In the main event, Petr Yan fights Deiveson Figueiredo. Is it for #1 contender status/title shot?  Plus, the aftermath of Paul vs. Tyson continues. The fight apparently caused such a bump in Netflix's stock price in a single day that it added $20 billion in market value. Was this fight good for boxing. How do we account for the massive conspiracy theories of this fight still going on social media and elsewhere? Also, is Jon Jones pound-for-pound no. 1 right now and David Benavidez vs. David Morrell heated up this week. How much can a bout like this boost PBC's fortunes? After Paul-Tyson, will the public pay attention to something like this? The guys will also be joined by Kade Ruotolo of ONE Championshio at noon ET! Learn more about your ad choices.

What a wild weekend it was and MK is here to break it all down for you. BC and Luke are back in studio and kick-off the show by talking all things UFC 309. In the main event, Jon Jones made a dominant return from injury/layoff to retire Stipe Miocic via TKO3. In just his 2nd fight in 5 years and first in 18 months following surgery, Jones looked like a complete heavyweight threat. In what ways did BONY's destruction of Miocic add to his already GOAT-plated legacy?  After his destruction of Stipe, Jon Jones said he wants "f**k you money" to fight Tom Aspinall, but still prefers theAlex Pereira fight. From all of the fight week rherotic to Jones' post-fight reaction, do you now believe he will fight Tom Aspinall next and that the UFC pay him handsomely enough to accept it? In the co-main event, Charles Oliveira held off a furious Michael Chandler rally to secure possible title shot. At 35, how much of a threat does Charles Oliveira still appear to be in terms of regaining the UFC lightweight title?  Moving on to UFC 310, Luke and Brian react to the new card announcement, following Belal Muhammad's withdrawal and UFC's late replacements.And of course, we can't forget the boxing fight of the year as Jake Paul outpointed Mike Tyson in pointless, record-breaking Netflix main event. While it's easy for everyone to ask, in hindsight, "what did you expect" from a YouTuber and a 58-year-old, how much of a stain was it for boxing given the 65 million households watching globally that Tyson-Paul turned out to be nothing more than a scripted exhibition between friends? Given the controversy of Taylor-Serrano rematch, is there a market for a trilogy fight?  Learn more about your ad choices.

A huge fight week is underway with two massive events in boxing and the UFC, and you won’t want to miss this episode of Morning Kombat! Luke and Brian kick things off by recapping this weekend’s UFC Fight Night, where Carlos Prates scored a stunning knockout win over Neil Magny in the main event—his fourth KO of the year. With this victory, does Prates now solidify himself as a legitimate contender? Next, they dive into the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, the biggest combat sports showdown of the week. What’s Jake Paul’s ultimate goal in boxing, and what would a win over Tyson do for his career? Despite Tyson being the betting underdog, how real are his chances of victory? And what happens to Paul if Tyson pulls off the upset? Will this event boost boxing or tarnish its reputation? The discussion then shifts to UFC 309, where Jon Jones faces Stipe Miocic in a legacy-defining fight. If both fighters retire afterward, what does their legacy look like? Should the winner of the co-main event between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler —or even the loser—face Max Holloway for the BMF belt next? Plus, how will the ongoing talk of Jones potentially ducking Miocic impact the fight? Finally, Luke and Brian wrap up the episode with a quick recap of ONE 169, as well as big wins from Jaron Ennis and Bam Rodriguez in boxing.

In today’s episode, we’re previewing a packed weekend of fights, including UFC Apex, ONE Championship, and a star-studded boxing weekend. Plus, we dive deep into the ongoing Conor McGregor civil trial and Dana White’s comments on UFC's business ties with politics in the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. The UFC Apex card is headlined by a high-stakes welterweight battle between veteran Neil Magny and rising star Carlos Prates. Will Magny, the underdog, continue to defy expectations, or will Prates make a statement in his second UFC outing? We also break down the Reiner de Ridder vs. Gerald Meerschaert middleweight clash, with de Ridder making his long-awaited return to 185 pounds after a six-year hiatus. ONE Championship 169 brings the heavyweight fireworks with Anatoly Malykhin facing off against the explosive Reug Reug. But the drama doesn't stop there—Rodtang, the Muay Thai sensation, missed weight for his flyweight bout and was forced to vacate his title, adding extra chaos to the card. It’s a monster weekend for boxing fans with multiple big cards across the globe, as rising stars Keyshawn Davis and Jaron Ennis headline separate cards.  Lastly, the guys provide the latest developments in the Conor McGregor civil trial and discuss the legal ramifications for McGregor as it continues.

On the latest episode of Morning Kombat, the guys recap a busy weekend of UFC News. First, at UFC Edmonton, Brandon Moreno looked fully rejuvenated in a one-sided win over Amir Albazi. Did he prove he's all the way back and if so, does this mean he gets dibs on the next flyweight title shot? Erin Blanchfield earned the decision win over Rose Namajunas, but did she really impress in the process? Plus, in other UFC News, Max Holloway released a video where he declared his future fights will be at lightweight instead of featherweight. To what extent is this the right call? Also, do we like the Ian Garry-Joaquin Buckley UFC Tampa headliner? If so, does the winner become the top contender behind Shavkat Rakhmonov? Moving to UFC 309, if Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic is fun and exciting, does that mean putting Tom Aspinall on timeout all this time was justified? And, we're less than 2 weeks out from Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, what chance are we giving Tyson to win and what would it even mean if he did? Learn more about your ad choices.

Big news out of UFC means a stacked MK Friday. Luke and BC react to the news that Belal Muhammad is OUT of UFC 310 (Dec. 7) with a bone infection in his foot. Does it make more sense for UFC to keep Shavkat Rahkmanov on card in an interim welterweight title bout? Plus, once again Alex Pereira is offering to bail out the UFC. The company has reached out to him and Magomed Ankalaev about being the replacement headliner. Should Pereira make fourth appearance (and win) to close out 2024, how does that change FOY and P4P debate? Also, the fellas preview this weekends UFC Edmonton event and share their thoughts on the latest comments from DPP who reveals he would rather fight Khamzat Chimaev then Sean Strickland next.

What a weekend! The guys are back in studio to recap a historic UFC 308 event that lived up to it's hype. First, Luke and BC react to Ilia Topuria's stunning KO of Max Holloway. We already knew Topuria had the potential to be great. But after becoming the first man to knock down and knock out future Hall of Famer (and fellow P4Per) Max Holloway, does the MMA world owe Luke Thomas an apology after the results of UFC 308? Max Holloway fought his balls off in defeat, gave Topuria issues in first 2 rounds (despite judges barely rewarding him for his efforts). Who should be next for Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway? Does this lock up Fighter of the Year for Topuria? And would it be wrong for Ilia to receive P4P No. 1 votes after his last two performances?  In the co-main Khamzat Chimaev silenced critics, restored hype by breaking Robert Whittaker's jaw in Round 1. Although he entered as the No. 13-ranked middleweight, was Chimaev's dominant performance over a former champion and living legend like Whittaker enough to justify UFC to allow him to skip past even Sean Strickland for the next shot at DDP's 185-pound title. Plus, the guys discuss the Magomed Ankalaev, Shara Bullet & the rest of UFC 308 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An absolutely LOADED monday MORNING KOMBAT is coming your way after a fight-filled weekend! First, Artur Beterbiev scored a majority decision win over Dmitry Bivol in their undisputed light heavyweight title fight. Did the judges get the scoring right? More importantly, what's the big takeaway from what we saw? Should the winner of Benavidez-Morrell get the winner of Saturday's fight? AT UFC Vegas 98, Brandon Royval scored a tough but well-deserved win over Tatsuro Taira in the main event of UFC Vegas 85. He's lost twice to the current champ, so does he deserve another title shot? UFC 310's card received a bunch of fights including the main event between Belal Muhammad and Shavkat Rakhmonov plus a flyweight title bout between Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Asakura. Rate these announcements on a scale of 1 to 10. At BKFC in Spain over the weekend, Conor McGregor said he's fighting Dan Hooker in February in Saudi Arabia. Do we really believe him and, more importantly, is that the right fight for McGregor for his UFC return? Finally, the guys set the table for Francis Ngannou's return to MMA this weekend with the PFL's Saudi Arabia event.

Is there anything better than MK the Monday after a monster UFC card? This week, Luke and Brian have you covered with a full recap from this weekends big UFC 307 event. First, Alex Pereira outslugs Khalil Rountree Jr. to defend LHW title in the main event. By breaking Ronda Rousey's promotional record with 3 title defenses in just 176 days, did Alex Pereira prove once and for all on Saturday that he's the most valuable fighter on the UFC roster? What type of adjustments did Pereira make to offset the strong start from Rountree and 2-0 hole on all 3 scorecards? Did Rountree successfully shatter pre-fight takes regarding his unworthiness for the title shot by how exciting he fought and how much punishment he was able to endure? What's next for Poatan after moving into 3rd place tie with Daniel Cormier with 3rd LHW title defense? Plus, on the women's side, Julianna Pena becomes a 2-time bantamweight champion and Kayla Harrison cements top contender status with a win. did you score Pena-Pennington and is there a legitimate case for Pena's disputed victory? How much improvement did you see to Pena's game after two years away from the sport? Was Kayla Harrison's hard-fought win over No. 2 Ketlen Vieira a positive because of how she overcame adversity or a negative considering she was a -900 betting favorite and many were arguing she had already secured a title shot? Finally, the break down all the other notable fights and outcomes of the night. In boxing, the guys look ahead to the key storylines entering Saturday's Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undisputed light heavyweight clash. Learn more about your ad choices.

MK Monday is here. The guys are in studio to breakdown all the latest MMA news. First, Renato Moicano battered Benoit Saint-Denis to score a TKO after the second round of their UFC Paris main event. Given Moicano was injured, just how impressive was this performance? Nassourdine Imavov bests Brendan Allen; who makes sense for Imavov next? The UFC and fighters suing them reached a new agreement in the long-standing antitrust case. Will this new agreement finally stick? Devin Haney has filed suit against both Ryan Garcia and Golden Boy Promotions. Does his lawsuit carry any merit and was it a good idea to sue a rival in the sport of boxing? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Another massive MK Monday coming your way. The guys are in studio with tons to talk about. In boxing, Daniel Dubois upsets Anthony Joshua in an absolutely one-sided demolition to defend IBF heavyweight title with a 5th round KO. For all the talk coming in about AJ's rejuvenation and newfound mean streak, how badly did the guys overlook Dubois' exact same transformation over his last two fights? The Wembley Stadium fight set new UK record of over 98,000 in wild atmosphere. What does this performance say about Dubois' future chances against the rest of the division? Plus, it's about time that we wake up to the fact that we are living in the midst of one of the greatest heavyweight eras in boxing history. Also, Dana White tells Irish media ahead of Friday's Callum Walsh homecoming in Dublin regarding future in boxing: "I'm in". Given teases of "Shake Turkey" partnership in 2025, it's hard to imagine Dana/UFC's involvement in boxing will be small. But considering Dana told Irish media of his plans, "I'm HBO, that's the way I would look at it," what type of impact could TKO/Endeavor have in the boxing market?  In MMA news, Sean O'Malley declares himself still the undefeated UFC champion after UFC 306 rewatch, where he scored it 3-2 for himself. Is O'Malley pulling this public stunt because he's a sore loser, or he's angling for an immediate rematch or he's just trying to make compelling YouTube content? Does O'Malley's torn hip labrum reveal and subsequent surgery better explain his poor performance against Merab Dvalishvili? Or does it take away from Merab?  Finally, the guys make a huge announcement that you Donks wont want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Monday after a HUGE weekend of fights, there is nothing better than MORNING KOMBAT. BC and Luke are back in studio to recap all the action at UFC 306 and Canelo vs. Berlanga. First in the UFC, Merab Dvalishvili easily bested Sean O'Malley to become the UFC bantamweight champion. UFC President Dana White said O'Malley looked flat. What's the guys theory as to why he appeared this way? What is it about Merab's story that makes him so unique? Valentina Shevchenko definitively won the trilogy against Alex Grasso, but how surprisingly one sided was it? Did the Sphere live up to the hype? In boxing, Canelo Alvarez had little trouble with Edgar Berlanga, but failed to put him away. Is Berlanga better than we thought or is Canelo slowing down? Is there really any interest in a Bivol rematch? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Monday. Morning Kombat. HUGE fight week. Nothing better. BC and Luke are back in studio to preview this MASSIVE upcoming weekend of combat sports and discuss the biggest news in the game. First, the guys recap the this weekends UFC Vegas card. Sean Brady scored ultimately a tough, but deserved win over a scrappy Gilbert Burns. Did Sean Brady prove he's a legitimate title contender at welterweight? Plus, the guys preview the upcoming UFC 306 Noche card. Are the complaints about this event justified? If so, in what ways? Does Sean O'Malley become the bantamweight GOAT with a win over Merab? In boxing, the guys break down #caneloberlanga. What's the boxing fan's temperature on this fight? Does Canelo gain anything of significance with a win over an overmatched Edgar Berlanga? Learn more about your ad choices.

We are HERE Donks! No better way to spend a Thursday then with a special episode of MORNING KOMBAT. BC and Luke are back in studio to preview this upcoming weekend of combat sports and discuss the biggest news in the game. First, the guys preview this weekends UFC Apex card, headlined by Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady! How much elite gas is left in tank of 38-year-old Burns, fresh off two losses (and KO defeat to Jack Della?) Did Brady prove last time out vs. Gastelum that he fixed the striking glitch from Belal Muhammad KO loss? Next, Alex Pereira continues his bid for "one more" middleweight fight vs. DDP. Is this the right move at 37 for Pereira to cut back down in weight considering his ambition to become 3-division champion at heavyweight? Also, UFC ran a playful "Jon Jones is GOAT" ad during DWCS (plus insane KO highlight). From lengthy debate with Kevin Iole and other media last week over Jones P4P slot to this commercial, is Dana having fun with us by playing into his own absurdity? And what's your best guess as to why he won't stop praising Jon? In boxing, Turki Alalshikh announces new PPV price point as Dana White teases boxing partnership. Alalshikh wants $20 boxing PPVs to combat streaming. Will it work? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Another Monday, another HUGE MK as the boys are back to FULL STRENGTH with BC and Luke both in studio for the first time all month. It wasn't a huge weekend of combat sports but the guys have a lot to get to, nonetheless. At UFC Vegas 96, should Caio Borralho been awarded a stoppage victory over Jared Cannonier? What else stood out from the card? Now that PFL has officially started promoting Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira, what do the guys think about this fight? Tom Aspinall is going as close to scorched earth as he can when it comes to Jon Jones. Will this work in getting Jones to fight him (assuming he beats Stipe Miocic)? Why is Dana White so curiously in the tank for a fighter he’s routinely been at odds with? Shakur Stevenson has signed a two-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing and has his first fight on the card in Saudi Arabia in October. Was this a wise decision and, realistically, what is a likely second fight? Luke and BC also look ahead to Let’s to September 14th which sees #caneloberlanga going up against UFC 306.

Another amazing MK is coming your way this Monday as Luke is back from vacation and joined by the one and only, man in the hat, Chuck Mindenhall to break down everything that happened at UFC 305. First, Dricus du Plessis defeated Israel Adesanya via submission in the fourth round. What does a victory like this prove about du Plessis? What does a loss like this do to Adesanya's legacy? What should be next for du Plessis? Sean Strickland? Robert Whittaker? Khamzat Chimaev? Or Alex Pereira at 185 or 205? Kai-Kara France blew right past Steve Erceg in Saturday's co-main event. Does this make KKF the top UFC flyweight contender? Did Erceg take this fight too close to his war with Alexandre Pantoja? Dan Hooker somehow turned back the clock against the smothering Mateusz Gamrot. This likely pushes him into or close to the top 5. What fight makes the most sense next for him? Lastly, Tai Tuivasa lost his fifth straight fight in the UFC, dropping a lackluster decision to Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Is there any real fix for what ails him? Can we talk about how insane that scorecard from judge Howie Booth was? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What did this performance say about where the 18-0 Nurmagomedov ranks among the 135-pound elite? Plus, Tony Ferguson, 40, sets UFC record with 8th straight loss in SUB1 to Michael Chiesa, refuses retirement in aftermath. In boxing, Terence Crawford edges Israil Madrimov to claim title in 4th division in first Riyadh Season card on U.S. soil. How did you score the fight?

Absolutely LOADED show for you donks this Monday as Luke & Brian go hard recapping UFC 304. In the main event, Belal Muhammad made sure his name would be remembered in history by upsetting Leon Edwards for the welterweight title (and breaking Luke's 35-and-over title curse). In the co-main, Tom Aspinall needed just 60 seconds to demolish Curtis Blaydes in their rematch to defend the interim title before the respectful callout of Jon Jones.

Given the size of the crowd and the fanfare surrounding the event, how important was Ennis' move to Matchroom Sport in terms of taking him to the next level of promotional exposure?
