344 - UFC Vegas 84 Recap
UFC Vegas 84 delivered an exciting night of fights that had something for everyone. In the main event, the highly-ranked Magomed Ankalaev put on a dominant performance, silencing the electrifying Johnny Walker with a thunderous second-round knockout. This emphatic victory solidified Ankalaev's position as a true contender in the light heavyweight division.
Jim Miller reminded everyone why he is one of the baddest men walking the planet. He dispatched a contender nearly a decade younger than him by attempting to rip his head off of his body. Jim is a shoe-in for the hall of fame in my book and I can't wait to see him get his well-deserved booking on UFC 300.
Overall, the card delivered great action, especially after a four week drought of UFC events. Now we look forward to the first pay-per-view of the year, UFC 297 on Saturday night. As always, thank you for the comments, shares, feedback and criticism - cheers!

UFC Vegas 84 is set to kick off 2024 with a bang! This Fight Night event takes place on January 13th at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and it's headlined by a highly anticipated light heavyweight rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker. These two warriors first met in 2021, and their fight ended in a controversial no-contest due to an illegal knee from Walker. Now, they're running it back with five full rounds to settle the score. Ankalaev is the heavy favorite, but Walker is a dangerous knockout artist who can never be counted out. This rematch has all the makings of a classic!

Picks and Pours 7 - UFC Austin - BKFC 56
Picks and Pours is a new weekly segment of MMA on the Rocks that is usually only available on YouTube. I decided to share this episode for the audio-only audience because there was no Sunday episode due to Thanksgiving.
On these episodes, I chat with my buddy Matt "The Mechanic" who makes picks on the upcoming UFC cards. I will then rip Matt's picks apart or slightly agree with them.
Let me know in the comments or on social media if this is something you would like me to post regularly on here - otherwise, subscribe on YouTube and turn on your notifications.

338 - UFC 295 - Cornrolla
UFC 295 was an action-packed event which crowned two new champions. It wasn't the event that was promised originally, but it still delivered. Friend of the show Matt "Steamrolla" Frevola had an unfortunate setback after giving an unranked fighter an opportunity. Controversial referee calls and a snapped losing streak rounded out the main card. As always, thank you for the comments, shares, feedback and criticism - cheers! Buy me a drink

335 - Yas Please - UFC 294
UFC 294, held on October 22, 2023 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, was one of the most anticipated events of the year. The main event was a lightweight title rematch between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski, with Makhachev originally scheduled to fight Charles Oliveira before Oliveira withdrew due to injury.
The fight was a dominant performance by Makhachev, who knocked out Volkanovski in the first round with a vicious head kick. Makhachev showed his grappling prowess throughout the fight, controlling Volkanovski on the ground and landing strikes until the referee stopped the fight.
In the co-main event, Khamzat Chimaev defeated Kamaru Usman via majority decision in a closely contested fight. Chimaev started strong, taking Usman down and controlling him on the ground in the first round. Usman bounced back in the second round, landing strikes and taking Chimaev down himself. The third round was back-and-forth, with both fighters landing strikes and neither able to gain a clear advantage.

Thoughts go out to our brothers and sisters in Hawai'i right now who are going through a tragically hard time.

An amazing night of fights with big finishes, questionable decisions and fast-pace action. I talk about Cooper's Craft 100 proof bourbon which is a delicious and budget-friendly sipper, as well as going to see the new Disney Haunted Mansion movie with my daughter, which we agreed was surprisingly good.
