UFC 332 RECAP: Natalia Silva Is Champ, Talbott KOs Figgy, Damian Pinas Is a PROBLEM & Rosas Jr. LIVE
The Anik & Florian PodcastShow Notes
The Anik & Florian Podcast is BACK and UFC 332 just set records for the most first-round finishes, the most knockouts and the most knockdowns on a single card. Natalia Silva is the new women's flyweight champion, now 15 straight wins and 9-0 in the UFC, and Kenny breaks down why her speed was a problem Wang Cong never solved, comparing it to what he had to do as the slower fighter against Jose Aldo. Jon makes the case that Alexa Grasso is his 2026 female fighter of the year and should be next. Payton Talbott did what a 7-to-1 favorite is supposed to do to Deiveson Figueiredo, and Kenny calls him a future champion. And Damian Pinas threw an uppercut that had Daniel Cormier calling him maybe the hardest puncher he has seen in ten years.
RJ Clifford wants to see Pinas get a real wrestling test, and says Joe Pyfer is by far the biggest knockout threat Bo Nickal has ever faced. Ray Longo says Talbott has bricks in his hands, worries that the heavyweights may simply be too big for Alex Pereira, and questions whether Diego Lopes belongs in a BMF fight with Charles Oliveira before Kenny talks him into it.
Alexander Hernandez joins LIVE after his signature win over Rafael dos Anjos, and Raul Rosas Jr. joins LIVE to talk about the moment Raoni Barcelos went limp, his toughest fights at bantamweight, and who he thinks is next. Plus Kenny's pick for Christian Leroy Duncan vs Brendan Allen this weekend.
