The Anik & Florian Podcast is back for UFC 334 fight week at Madison Square Garden. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian open with the two championship fights at the center of the card: Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit for the heavyweight title and Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes in a historic women’s superfight.

The guys also react to Johnny Walker’s knockout of Waldo Cortes-Acosta and what Walker’s move to heavyweight means going forward. RJ Clifford joins to discuss Walker, Ian Machado Garry vs. Yaroslav Amosov and the future championship ceilings of Umar Nurmagomedov, Payton Talbott and Raul Rosas Jr. Ray Longo later joins for his UFC 334 picks, including Harrison-Nunes and Hokit-Gane, before Gianni the Greek closes the show with the Main Event Challenge. UFC 334 matchups on the show: Ciryl Gane vs Josh Hokit | Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes | Caio Borralho vs Yousri Belgaroui | Uroš Medić vs Kevin Holland | Bilal Hasan vs Luis Gurule | Stephen Thompson vs Charles Radtke | Chris Duncan vs Drew Dober | Terrance McKinney vs Jim Miller.

WORST REF MISTAKE? Nolan-Moicano Fallout, Sean Brady OUT & Nunes Opens as an Underdog

Show notes
The Anik & Florian Podcast is BACK after one of the most controversial referee decisions of the year. Tom Nolan stopped Renato Moicano in the third round, but the entire MMA world is talking about Dan Miragliotta standing the fight up while Moicano had back control. Kenny Florian calls it a horrible decision and explains why taking away a dominant grappling position can change a fight psychologically, while Jon Anik questions whether referees can ever allow crowd reaction or entertainment value to influence what happens inside the cage. Ray Longo joins and takes the conversation even further. Ray says the call ruined the fight for him, questions how Nolan handled the aftermath, and says he would stop watching the sport if MMA keeps moving in this direction. RJ Clifford later joins the discussion with Ray still on, as the group debates whether the near-unanimous backlash can actually force refereeing change. Plus: Sean Brady is forced out of his scheduled main event, the guys look ahead to the next major UFC cards, and the early betting lines produce some huge reactions — Amanda Nunes is an underdog against Kayla Harrison for the first time since 2018, Sergei Pavlovich is nearly a 2-to-1 favorite over Alex Pereira, and Joshua Van vs. Manel Kape is already moving toward pick ’em territory.

Show notes
The Anik & Florian Podcast is BACK after UFC 333, and Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are still buzzing from two championship performances at the highest level of the sport. Alexander Volkanovski stopped the previously unbeaten Movsar Evloev in round two while reportedly fighting sick, and Kenny breaks down the counter-grappling sequence that told him the fight was slipping away from Evloev. The guys also put Volk’s résumé in historical context, debate where he belongs among Australia’s greatest athletes, and look ahead to possible fights with Justin Gaethje and the next featherweight contender. RJ Clifford joins to go deep on Petr Yan’s trilogy win over Merab Dvalishvili. RJ explains why Yan’s ability to process information and take over as the fight develops makes him so difficult to solve, Kenny points to Yan’s patience, and Jon makes his strongest bantamweight statement yet. From there they debate whether Sean O’Malley or Song Yadong should be next for Yan and what the loss means for Merab. Plus: UFC 333 standouts Lonnie Kavanagh, Aaron Pico, Alexander Volkov and Dominick Reyes; where the featherweight and flyweight title pictures go next; and an early look at UFC Fight Night headlined by Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan, with Jacobe Smith vs. Randy Brown in the co-main event.

Show 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.

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. Arman Tsarukyan turned in the knockout of the year with an elbow from inches away, and Ray Longo has one word for Mauricio Ruffy taking his foot off the gas with ten seconds left: unacceptable. Then Ray goes after Gable Steveson, knocked out in twelve seconds in arguably the biggest upset in UFC history. Ray calls him a phony, says he keeps the wrong company, and asks whether you can find a worse mentor than Jon Jones when you're having problems like that. Kenny questions where Gable's heart is at, and whether a guy who scurries out of the cage after a loss is built for longevity in this sport. We also break down the Van vs Pantoja scorecards with RJ Clifford, including Ron McCarthy's 50-45 and why control alone doesn't win rounds in 2026. Marlon Chito Vera joins LIVE fresh off his TKO of Charles Jourdain to talk about four straight losses eating his soul, the shadows that came before the comeback, and a camp where he didn't run once. Plus Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes and Ciryl Gane vs Josh Hokit are set for MSG, and Kenny previews Raul Rosas Jr vs Raoni Barcelos.

UFC 332 Preview with Ray Longo and Guests Roberto Soldic, Scott Coker & Rich Chou
Raul Rosas Jr. rallied from a 3-1 deficit on the scorecards to stop Raoni Barcelos in the fifth round at UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos, but the story took a scary turn when Barcelos was stretchered out of the Meta APEX. We have the latest on his condition, the UFC's official statement, and what this win means for the 21-year-old phenom's climb up the bantamweight ladder. Plus, Ailin Perez's controversial win, the Ultimate Fighter finale results, and every finish you need to know from a 13-bout card.
We're also turning the page to UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang, where Natalia Silva and Wang Cong will fight for the vacant women's flyweight title in Salt Lake City. Gianni the Greek (@Greek_Gambler) joins the show for his Main-Event Challenge, and we're breaking down every line on the main card, including Roberto Soldić's UFC debut against Khaos Williams and Payton Talbott's massive step up against Deiveson Figueiredo. Soldić himself stops by to talk about the move to the UFC and what he expects in his first Octagon appearance.
But that's not all. Ray Longo returns for the Ray Longo Minute to give his unfiltered take on the sport's biggest storylines, and RJ Clifford joins us for RATED R. We're also welcoming Ki MMA's Scott Coker and Rich Chou to discuss the future of fight promotion, international expansion, and what's next for the sport.

The Anik & Florian Podcast is LIVE with a must-watch breakdown of an absolutely insane UFC Fight Night from Sacramento. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are fresh off a card that delivered everything, a five-round war, a shocking main event result, and a statement-making debut from a former two-division ONE champion. We’re talking Gregory "Robocop" Rodrigues silencing the Golden 1 Center by outlasting hometown hero Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez in a grueling, bloody middleweight main event.
Before that, the card saw EIGHT straight finishes, including SIX in the first round. We break down every devastating moment. Reinier de Ridder made his long-awaited light heavyweight debut and absolutely smashed Roman Dolidze in Round 1, how high is his ceiling at 205? Plus, former Jets linebacker Anthony Wint put a man to sleep in his UFC debut, and we’ve got all the prelim highlights, including Shamil Gaziev’s vicious knockout and Chris Padilla’s last-second submission.
We’re also joined by Ray Longo for the Ray Longo Minute to get his expert take on the Sacramento chaos, and RJ Clifford stops by for Rated RJ to drop his no-nonsense analysis.

WHAT IS UP fight fans! It’s that time again for the only MMA podcast that blends insider access with Barstool-level energy. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are coming at you LIVE from the @AnikFlorianPod YouTube channel, and Episode 608 is absolutely LOADED. We are breaking down every second of UFC 330, and let’s be honest—history was made in a big way.
Islam Makhachev officially broke Anderson Silva’s legendary 16-fight win streak, securing his 17th straight UFC victory while defending the 170lb welterweight title. We are diving deep on where Islam sits on the all-time P4P GOAT list, and whether Ian Machado Garry’s stock actually rises despite the loss.
Plus, Edson Barboza laid down his gloves and retired after 16 years, Mackenzie Dern retained her strawweight title in a grappling war, and Jalin Turner scored another first-round KO.
We have Glover Teixeira joining the show as well as UFC MW Donte Johnson. PLUS, Ray Longo stops by for the Ray Longo Minute, and RJ Clifford breaks down the numbers. Buckle up, because this one is going to get wild.

Show notes
WHAT IS UP fight fans! It’s that time again for the only MMA podcast you need—The Anik & Florian Podcast is LIVE and we are BUCKLE UP because this one is absolutely stacked. We’re coming off a WILD weekend at UFC Fight Night where Australian contender Quillan Salkilld just shocked the entire lightweight division by submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the first round with a rear-naked choke. Gamrot got hurt early by a crisp left hook, shot desperately, and Salkilld took his back and put him to sleep—absolute CLINIC. We’re breaking down every second of that card plus all the fallout from Diego Ferreira’s striking masterclass over Billy Quarantillo, Yadier del Valle’s 35-second knockout of Darren Elkins, and Ty Miller stopping Billy Ray Goff.
But that’s just the appetizer because we’ve got HUGE UFC 331 fight announcements straight from LA—Joshua Van makes his second flyweight title defense against former champ Alexandre Pantoja in a rematch years in the making, and Arman Tsarukyan battles dangerous striker Mauricio Ruffy in a five-round lightweight co-main that’s going to be fireworks.
We’re also looking ahead to UFC 330 where Islam Makhachev puts his welterweight belt on the line against undefeated Ian Machado Garry, plus the breaking news that Usman Nurmagomedov has officially hit free agency at 22-0.
And we take a moment to honor the sudden passing of Allan “Puro Osso” Nascimento at just 34 years old—a pillar of Chute Boxe Diego Lima and a brother to Charles Oliveira, deeply missed across the entire Brazilian fight scene.
We’ve got the legendary Ray Longo joining us for the Ray Longo Minute with a fiery “Would You Rather,” RJ Clifford drops by for Rated RJ, and Gianni the Greek is in the house to break down our Main-Event Challenge with $3,000 in bets for UFC 330—including Jalin Turner vs Kaue Fernandes, Esteban Robotics vs Edson Barboza, Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Dustin Stoltzfus, Jose Ochoa vs Charles Johnson, Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson, and the big one: Makhachev vs Machado Garry. Let’s be honest—you don’t want to miss a second of this.

UFC Freedom 250 RECAP🇺🇸: Gaethje Upsets Topuria, Gane DESTROYS Pereira, O’Malley KO 😱 & Ray Longo

Show notes
We’re LIVE with Ep. 599 and UFC Freedom 250 just gave us one of the most insane cards in history. Justin Gaethje weathered the undefeated Ilia Topuria’s early storm on the White House lawn, then flipped the script in a massive fourth-round TKO that forced Topuria’s corner to throw in the towel. Ciryl Gane flatlined Alex Pereira’s triple-champ dream with a jab and a torrent of ground-and-pound in Round 2.
Suga Sean O’Malley snapped Aiemann Zahabi’s 7-fight streak with a walk-off left-right hook combo that sent the place into a frenzy. We break down all seven main-card finishes — including Josh Hokit’s mauling of Derrick Lewis, Mauricio Ruffy’s video game blitz on Michael Chandler, Bo Nickal’s striking statement, and Diego Lopes’ brawl with Steve Garcia. This card was 7-for-7 on finishes and we’re running it back with the energy it deserves.
Ray Longo pulls up for the Ray Longo Minute to give his raw, uncut take on the title shift and what’s next. RJ Clifford hops in for Rated RJ with the stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Then Matty Bets run the Main Event Challenge, breaking down UFC Fight Night: Kape vs Horiguchi II — with Vinicius Oliveira vs Andre Fili, Navajo Stirling vs Ion Cutelaba, and the flyweight rematch we’ve been begging for.
Matty drops his $1K bet live, so tail or fade at your own risk. This show is in partnership with @allthesmoke and @atsfight, and it’s the only Monday joint that gives you instant reaction, betting insight, and the realest voices in the game.

WHAT IS UP loyal Anik & Florian family — we are LIVE and this one is absolutely STACKED. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are back in the saddle to break down everything you need to know ahead of UFC Fight Night: Della Maddalena vs Prates, going down this Saturday in Perth, Australia. Oh, and we've got the legendary Ray Longo in the building to unleash his unfiltered takes on the welterweight banger that has the entire MMA world buzzing. BUCKLE UP.
The Funkmaster Aljamain Sterling put on a grappling clinic against Youssef Zalal at UFC Vegas 116, sweeping all three scorecards 49-45 and immediately calling his shot at Alexander Volkanovski's featherweight throne. We're unpacking every angle of that main event, what it means for the 145-pound title picture, and whether Sterling's smothering style can translate into two-division gold. Plus: Battlebots chatter, because Ken-Flo simply cannot help himself.
Then the Main Event Challenge goes deep on Jack Della Maddalena returning home to Perth for the first time since dropping the strap to Islam Makhachev. Standing across from him? Carlos "The Nightmare" Prates, who flatlined Geoff Neal AND Leon Edwards in back-to-back highlight-reel finishes. This is a genuine Fight of the Year contender with massive title implications. We're also breaking down Beneil Dariush vs Quillan Salkilld — a lightweight matchup where those betting odds will raise your eyebrows.
