This week’s Ringside Report MMA is packed with controversy and major shake-ups! Dave Simon and AJ D’Alesio react to Islam Makhachev being stripped of the UFC lightweight belt and break down what’s next for both the 155 and 170 divisions. Jack Della Maddalena’s win over Belal Muhammad in Montreal has turned the welterweight picture upside down, and Ilia Topuria is now set to face Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317.
We talk ticket price drama, Montreal crowd energy, and who really deserves the next title shots—including the cases for Shavkat Rakhmonov and Arman Tsarukyan. The guys also cover Valentina Shevchenko’s latest title defense, live audience reactions, and the UFC’s wild business moves.
Drop your thoughts in the comments—were the UFC’s decisions the right call? Who do you want to see fight for gold next?
