We’re LIVE at 7:30am ET on @DraftKings with Jon Anik and Kenny Florian breaking down a massive UFC 322 fight week and everything MMA fans are buzzing about.

Join the live chat, drop questions, and ride along for smart takes and sharp laughs.
Seán Sheehan jumps in with an update in his MMA world, with thoughts on the Irish MMA scene, Refs/Judges, and the overall state of UFC. Then Jason Anik swings through with some behind-the-scenes juice. Brian Petrie (@brianpetrieMMA) returns for the fan-favorite Main-Event Challenge—scorecards out, receipts ready. Ray Longo (@raylongoMMA) intel is in the mix as always, giving you coaching-room context you won’t find anywhere else.
