This week on MMA on the Rocks, we break down UFC Vegas 116 and everything you need to know heading into fight night.

We run through the main card, including a look at the headline matchup, key stylistic clashes, and where the value is if you’re watching with a betting mindset. From rising contenders to sneaky undercard matchups, we’ve got you covered with our usual mix of analysis and nonsense.

Matt the Mechanic steps in with his official picks for three main card fights, so you’ll want to hear where he’s putting his money (and his pride).

We also preview BKFC Clearwater going down this Friday at the OCC Road House & Museum. It’s a stacked local card featuring some friends of the show:

• Ryan Reber
• Terry Williams
• Mike Heckert
• Brandon Allen

We talk about what to expect, who to watch, and why this is a must-see event if you’re in the area.

And of course… it wouldn’t be the show without a little chaos — Matt shares the story of getting absolutely wrecked by deer flies and having an allergic reaction, because apparently surviving fight camps isn’t dangerous enough.

Pour something strong, sit back, and enjoy another episode of MMA on the Rocks 🥃
