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.
