In today's episode, Fares breaks down the latest Thanksgiving announcements courtesy of the UFC. Matchups for the first two major cards of 2026 have been revealed — and they’re already stirring controversy. We start with the fighters who should’ve been in the mix (2:02). Then: what about Arman? (4:26).

Next, thoughts on UFC 324 — headlined by Paddy Pimblett vs. Justin Gaethje — plus the return of the female GOAT, Amanda Nunes, as she challenges the newest champ, Kayla Harrison (8:20). Suga Sean takes on fellow striker Song Yadong (10:44). And feelings on the upcoming Paramount+ partnership (14:29).

In other news, heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall breaks his silence — possibly sidelined for a while — and claims “Gane’s a big cheat” (17:09).

To close the show, a massive boxing announcement: Shakur Stevenson is moving up to 140 to challenge champion Teofimo Lopez (20:43)
