Petesy Carroll is joined by Uncrowned’s Ben Fowlkes to discuss Beniel Dariush potentially leaking Dustin Poirier meeting his old rival Max Holloway in his retirement fight (8:39). Just after getting the show underway, the news hits of three weigh misses for this weekend’s Apex card (14:40), before the conversation returns to Poirier (19:59).
The lads ponder when Ilia Topuria will make his 155-pound debut with Charles Oliveira’s camp claiming that the Brazilian has a fight booked for International Fight Week (29:15).
In the wake of UFC 313, Petesy and Ben weigh-in on the changing narrative around Alex Pereira with the likes of Daniel Cormier claiming the defeat to Magomed Anakalev underlined how the knockout artist is simply too small for the maximum weight-class (39:56).
With the announcement of Paul Hughes’ homecoming bout against Bruno Miranda taking place in Belfast in May, Petesy asks Ben if he thinks PFL fumbled the bag by not immediately booking the Irishman’s rematch with Usman Nurmagomedov (50:58).
Finally, the return of Jeremy Stephens is brought into focus and the lads wonder if his re-signing to the UFC is a bad thing for BKFC on the back of his highly publicised knockout of Eddie Alvarez in Philadelphia (59:58).
