Show Notes
Natalia Silva is the brand new UFC women's flyweight champion after she outlasted Wang Cong in the main event of UFC 332, but there's no doubt that the shadow of Valentina Shevchenko looms largely over the division, and Silva's championship reign. But Silva did get Shevchenko to break her silence, and vowed to return to try and reclaim what she feels is rightfully her's.
Following UFC 332, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the event, Silva's clear-cut win over Wang, and interest levels in a Silva vs. Shevchenko matchup. Additionally, they discuss Payton Talbott running over Deiveson Figueiredo with ease in the co-main event, King Green continuing his protest of the stoppage loss to Esteban Ribovics, Roberto Soldic's octagon debut, other standout moments and performances, UFC broadcasters having a victory lap after the event, and more.

UFC 333 is here!
Another very busy weekend in the combat sports world is upon us, including Saturday's stacked UFC 333 event headlined by a UFC featherweight title bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev, while Petr Yan defends his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili in a trilogy fight. While titles are at stake, what else is on the line in these two huge fights?
Mike Malott made a big statement by knocking out Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Edmonton, sending his home-country crowd happy. With a lot of contenders at the top of the welterweight division, where does "Proper" go after the biggest win of his career?
Mike Malott delivered in a big way for his home country as he picked up the biggest win, and biggest highlight of his UFC career with a stunning second-round knockout of Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Edmonton. After the win, is "Proper" a perennial top-10 welterweight moving forward, or is he a legit title threat?
The UFC returns to Canada this Saturday for a UFC Fight Night card, and in the main event, Canada's own Mike Malott looks to extend his long win streak against Joaquin Buckley. With "New Mansa" entering the bout off of back-to-back losses, and Malott being 34 in a loaded up division, is it do-or-die for both guys?
