We're back to the Apex and honestly if this is the standard of Apex card? I am 100% here for it. Former champ in the main even, main card with fights that ask solid questions and some good action as well. There are 2 terrible fights on the card but such is the state of WMMA unfortunately.

Let's dive in!

UFC heads to Macau with a card I admit will be likely fun and certainly violent but as a fight nerd the lack of questions to be answered does bug me. I fully admit that's a me problem.

Usyk/Verhoeven happened. It was way better than I expected and it has spawned a lovely selection of conspiracy theories. Very good performance from Verhoeven, probably a sign that Usyk should be appreciated while he's here cause the end is marching closer.

And finally MVP succeeded commercially. That's undeniable. Time will tell if it actually means anything.

MVP MMA may not be admirable and it may not actually be a good idea.......BUT what if it could slightly change things?

Sean Strickland 2 Time UFC Champion.............it feels weird to say. Also thanks to all the Van hates, I'll take the betting gains ;)

Back to the warehouse for largely filler but the main event is better than last week and odds are some of these fights will play out in an entertaining manner but I can't really pat the match makers on the back for much of this.

None the less, let's break down the fights.

Mike Malott sends Gilbert Burns into retirement and rubs up on Right Wing politics..........surprise. Charles Jourdain wins a war. And a lot of borderline UFC talents take Ls. Though shoutout to the Heavyweights, Saricam/Boser kicked ass and put on a show.

Let's unpack the action.

We have a new champion! Under what can only be described as bizarre circumstances. 2 former contenders are dead to me. Josh Hokit....cringe but real and hey Paulo Costa doing good things in 2026.

Oh and happy Retirement Cub.

The UFC comes off an overachieving card that I still maintain won't mean much in a year but was fun, was violent and for some that's all that is needed. From the UFC, I'd still like more.

And we head to a Number Event (Need a better new name for PPVs) that feels a little flat. Maybe it's the vacant title at the top, maybe it's that it's a lot of 205 and 265 fights are always a troubling point or maybe it's just the promotion that causes the flatness and the loss of Van/Taira. Whatever it is let's crack on.

Let's break them down.
