Boxing is booming, right? So where have all the championship fights gone? No male world champion has had more than two world title fights this year. The pound-for-pound list is littered with single figure outings, whilst the women's game isn't much busier. In a time when stadium fights and unifications are regular, why has nobody taken 2026 by storm? Can you name a Boxer of the Year this year?

Nine first round knockouts – 11 in total – from 14 fights isn't just insane, it's a new UFC record. And so, whilst the main event may have sucked the gas out of the room – we kind of expected that – prior to the women's flyweight title being contested their was violence all over the place in Salt Lake City. We discuss the current state of women's divisions in the UFC, before getting very excited about the plethora of knockouts served up in Utah and the unveiling of three…

Ben Whittaker retained his unbeaten record in the pro ranks, but all talk of a world title fight coming next should be shelved as, once again, he muddled his way across the finish line. The Olympic silver medallist dominated Irishman Conor Wallace for nine rounds of their title eliminator, only to run out of gas and was left hanging on in the closing stages. The boys review the main event and the rest of the Birmingham card, which delivered from top to bottom.

UFC 332 is a stinker. There, we said it. It's a fight night at the Apex at best. But thanks to our Patreon posse's contributions, all is not lost. We dig out the diamonds from Salt Lake City before purring over Fight Night Qatar and a few bits in between.

Ben Whittaker is starting to look like the real deal inside the ropes, living up to the huge potential he had after medalling at the Olympic Games. But, who has he actually beaten? 'The Surgeon' is ranked incredibly highly by every one of the tin pot organisations, despite the fact he's never beaten anybody ranked in the top 100 at light-heavy. This weekend he gets the chance to put that straight against Irishman based Down Under Conor Wallace. Litmus test time.

What a weekend; fights all over the place, more drama than an episode of your favourite soap, and plenty of blood and violence. But where was your attention? Is the sweet science under threat like never before to evolve to suit the modern audience?

On today's show, the Fight Disciples preview a European title fight card in Birmingham, Zuffa's latest foray to the UK and, after having our attention captured, we even talk Bare Knuckle Boxing. We know what the most competitive fight is. We know where the big promotional push is going to be. But how will you consumer two strong boxing cards and a night of untold chaos in Manchester going off at the same time?

Pat Brown captured British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles in just his 7th pro fight and in front of a busy home arena on Saturday, suggesting he could well be British boxing's next big star. Meanwhile, world champion Hamzah Sheeraz threw his world title in the bin, but was because he was being matched with a drug cheat or due to the winning purse bid representing a pay cut in his career?

UFC 331 truly delivered from Los Angeles on Saturday night: fight of the year, knockout of the year, upset of the year and, yeah, even a submission of the year. Fighters were making statements left, right and centre. We review all the best bits, so get comfy and enjoy.

UFC 331 lands in Los Angeles this weekend with a flyweight main event; the rematch between champion Joshua Van and the man he took the belt from due to injury last year, Alexandre Pantoja. We get stuck into the headliner, plus a tasty undercard that could dictate what comes next in a couple of weight classes. We also reflect on Tom Aspinall's decision to relinquish the heavyweight belt, and pick out the best bits from Noche UFC at the weekend.

Zuffa Boxing's flagship show of 2026 ended in disaster for their high-profile British signing, but likely leveraged great hope in courting an American home audience. Ryan Garcia needed less than two rounds to expose Conor Benn's lack of championship credentials at the T-Mobile, much to the delight of the largely Mexican fanbase. Zuffa had more luck in the co-main where Jai Opetaia demolished fellow world champion Norair Mikaeljan before calling out David Benavidez next.

Live from Las Vegas, Nevada, Adam finally gets some wifi capable of previewing Zuffa's flagship card of their debut year as Ryan Garcia defends his world title against Conor Benn at the T-Mobile Arena. Technically there is likely a gulf in class between the two men. But What Conor lacks in pedigree and ability, he makes up for in heart and determination. On paper, there is only one winner, but in real life anything could happen. Here are the boys final thoughts.

Salahdine Parnasse stood over the broken body of Dan Hooker inside the Octagon in Paris on Saturday night was a warning to the rest of the 155lb division that there is a serious problem incoming. The former KSW double-weight champion looked phenomenal in front of his home fans, on another UFC Fight Night riddled with finishes. From outstanding one-shot knockouts to bloody submissions, UFC Paris delivered once again.

Katie Taylor called time on her stellar career on Saturday night in the most ideal place possible: Dublin's Croke Park. It was emotional, sensational and sentimental all at once. Eddie was crying, the family were crying, Katie choked back the tears; it was beautiful.

UFC Paris is going to be lit this weekend, courtesy of some very violent matchmaking, nowhere more than in the main event. Dan Hooker welcoming Salahdine Parnasse to the Octagon is as blood-thirsty as anything we've seen this year. Sit back and enjoy it. And it's not only the main event that's rocking, the rest of the main card and the prelims are stacked with enough blood and guts to satisfy the most savage of minds.

Bring the tissues on Saturday as we say farewell to a sporting icon. In front of 80,000 fans at Croke Park in Dublin, Katie Taylor signs off on a career that changed boxing forever. The greatest female boxer in history fights one final time. We preview a night that's almost guaranteed to be followed by the hangover of all hangovers!

Song Yadong landed the punch of his life then climbed atop the Octagon to wild applause in Shanghai on Saturday, but also made it to the summit of the UFC bantamweight rankings. Umar Nurmagomedov was a heavy favourite out in China, but ducked into a lethal right hand to leave him sprawled on the canvas and the local fans in raptures. That main event upset capped another tremendous night for the UFC, who have averaged 10 finishes per fight card all summer!

This is what contesting the heavyweight championship of the world should look like. Incredible scenes in London as Filip Hrgovic becomes the first Croatian heavyweight world champion, coming from behind to force a ninth round stoppage of Moses Itauma. Drama, excitement, guts and glory. Brilliant.
