Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are back for Episode 595 of the Anik & Florian Podcast, powered by All The Smoke Fight, recapping a wild UFC 328 in Newark and previewing this weekend's Rousey vs Carano card on Netflix.
Sean Strickland just shocked the world (and the betting public) by taking the middleweight title back from Khamzat Chimaev in a split decision that has the MMA world split right down the middle. Kenny scored it for Khamzat. RJ Clifford scored it for Khamzat. Chris Weidman and Dustin Poirier privately thought Khamzat won. Jon and Kenny break down every weird minute of that fight, why Khamzat seemed to abandon the wrestling that got him there, and whether this is a first-ballot Hall of Fame run for Strickland.
RJ Clifford joins to dig into the Khamzat-fighting-Strickland's-fight theory and what's next at 185 and 205. Ray Longo brings the energy with stories on Chris Weidman's surprise Hall of Fame induction, his own take on the Strickland win, Joshua Van's flyweight masterclass against Tatsuro Taira, and a chaotic in-studio appearance from his peptide guy. Grant Dawson joins after his biggest career win at UFC 328, breaks down the X's and O's against Renato Moicano, and shares a heartbreaking story about his wife's miscarriage during fight week and her incredible strength through it all. Yanni The Greek closes the show with his UFC Fight Night Allen vs Costa picks and a Rousey vs Carano + Diaz vs Perry preview from the Netflix card.
