The Anik & Florian Podcast is LIVE from the ATS Fight studios, and we are coming in HOT off the heels of the most chaotic UFC event of the year. Conor McGregor’s return lasted just 69 seconds before a knee injury gave Max Holloway the TKO win at UFC 329—and Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are breaking it ALL down right now. We’ve got a stacked house with Ray Longo in the building for the Ray Longo Minute, flyweight standout Brandon Royval, the always-entertaining King Green fresh off his UFC 329 win, and RJ Clifford stopping by. This is the only place to get the real post-fight breakdown, live bets, and the energy you expect from the best in the business.
We are partnering with our guys over at @allthesmoke and @atsfight to bring you the definitive UFC 329 recap and a full preview of UFC Fight Night: Du Plessis vs. Usman. The boys are breaking down the wild McGregor injury, what it means for his future, and whether Holloway just cemented his legacy. Plus, we’re talking about the massive middleweight clash between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman, and Kenny and Jon are putting their money where their mouths are with the $1K bet. Buckle up, because this one is going to get wild.
