WHAT IS UP loyal Anik & Florian family — we are LIVE and this one is absolutely STACKED. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are back in the saddle to break down everything you need to know ahead of UFC Fight Night: Della Maddalena vs Prates, going down this Saturday in Perth, Australia. Oh, and we've got the legendary Ray Longo in the building to unleash his unfiltered takes on the welterweight banger that has the entire MMA world buzzing. BUCKLE UP.
The Funkmaster Aljamain Sterling put on a grappling clinic against Youssef Zalal at UFC Vegas 116, sweeping all three scorecards 49-45 and immediately calling his shot at Alexander Volkanovski's featherweight throne. We're unpacking every angle of that main event, what it means for the 145-pound title picture, and whether Sterling's smothering style can translate into two-division gold. Plus: Battlebots chatter, because Ken-Flo simply cannot help himself.
Then the Main Event Challenge goes deep on Jack Della Maddalena returning home to Perth for the first time since dropping the strap to Islam Makhachev. Standing across from him? Carlos "The Nightmare" Prates, who flatlined Geoff Neal AND Leon Edwards in back-to-back highlight-reel finishes. This is a genuine Fight of the Year contender with massive title implications. We're also breaking down Beneil Dariush vs Quillan Salkilld — a lightweight matchup where those betting odds will raise your eyebrows.
