The Craic is back! Petesy Carroll is joined by the usual suspects, Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes, to break down all the latest headlines. They kick things off by discussing Ilia Topuria, who’s set to fight at UFC 317 on June 28th — but who’s his opponent? The lads weigh in on who they think would make for Topuria’s most exciting matchup (03:58).
One of those opponents is Islam Makhachev, but does Makhachev want to fight Ilia, or move up to welterweight to face the winner of Jack Della Maddalena vs. Belal? The trio explore what the lightweight champions options are (07:52).
Staying with the welterweight division, the conversation shifts to Ian Garry’s recent decision win over Carlos Prates. The chaps discuss Garry’s bold push for a title shot and break down the current pecking order for a crack at 170lbs (11:42).
Meanwhile, over in the PFL, Dakota Ditcheva is making waves — not in the cage, but online. Her recent social media posts suggest growing frustration. The crew unpacks the situation and what it might mean for the promotion’s image (20:35).
Next, the focus turns to UFC Iowa, where Ben Fowlkes shares insights from his recent conversation with Reinier de Ridder ahead of his bout with Bo Nickal. Can RDR derail the Bo Nickal hype train? Plus, the team spotlights other intriguing matchups on the card (35:02).
Switching gears, the lads react to the headline-grabbing Times Square boxing card, featuring Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero — a spectacle as strange as it is compelling (49:02).
To wrap things up, they react to the trailer for The Smashing Machine — the highly anticipated Mark Kerr biopic starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Could this be one of the best MMA films ever made (54:35)?
