The Anik & Florian Podcast is BACK, but with a twist — Jon Anik is away, so his identical twin brother Jason Anik is taking over hosting duties alongside Kenny Florian. And what a weekend to do it: Dricus Du Plessis dominated Kamaru Usman over five rounds at UFC OKC, Tommy McMillan shattered Nate Diaz's 15-year significant strike record, and Belal Muhammad capped his emotional win over Ben Askren at RAF 11 by planting a front kick on Colby Covington at the post-fight press conference. The boys are breaking it ALL down.
RJ Clifford stops by for Rated RJ with thoughts on Du Plessis' improved wrestling and Conor McGregor's "I believe I was saved" confession, Ray Longo joins for the Ray Longo Minute (with a surprise appearance from Jon live in Hawaii), and the guys preview UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi: Ankalaev vs. Guskov, with Kenny putting his $1K where his mouth is.

Conor McGregor is back. For the first time in five years, roughly 1,800 days since he snapped his leg at UFC 264, the biggest star in the history of the sport returns this weekend against Max Holloway at UFC 329. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian break down which version of Conor actually shows up in Las Vegas, and whether five years away is too much to overcome.
It's a loaded fight-week roundtable on top of that. Brandon Royval on his flyweight matchup and why UFC Freedom 250 was the coolest thing he's ever seen, Ray Longo on being tapped to induct Chris Weidman into the Hall of Fame and whether he's ready to stop being the main guy in the corner, Gianni the Greek's eight UFC 329 predictions, and King Green on the personal backstory behind his main-card fight with a former friend in Terrence McKinney.
