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.
The Anik & Florian Podcast is BACK on a Tuesday and 2026 is officially the most special year in mixed martial arts history. UFC 331 was one of the greatest live events Jon has ever called. Joshua Van is still the undisputed flyweight champion after beating Alexandre Pantoja a second time, at 24 years old, with two Hall of Fame fights already on his resume and a shoulder he could barely throw with two weeks out. Van joins us LIVE at the end of the show to tell the whole story: destroying his AC joint the first day back from the Philly press conference, three weeks without training, sparring against his head coach's wishes the final week, and why Manel Kape is next.
