The UFC heads back to Rio this weekend, alongside "The King of Rio" himself, Jose Aldo. We preview Aldo's return fight, and the rest of that UFC 301: Pantoja vs. Erceg card in the first half of this week's show.

Then in the second half of the show we discuss Bare Knuckle FC for once, and the results of UFC on ESPN: Nicolau vs. Perez.

Finally, in our Hammer History segment we look back 500 episodes to June 2014, and a salty Ben Henderson following his win over Rustam Khabilov.

It's Ariane Lipski vs. Karine Silva fight week! Maybe we're the only ones excited for that specific part of this week's UFC Fight Night: Nicolau vs. Perez card. We preview that event in the first half of this week's show.

Then we discuss a little weirdness in the UFC Lightweight rankings, Karate Combat, the 2024 PFL season, and what happens when someone vomits in the cage.

Finally, in our Hammer History segment we look back 500 episodes to June 2014, and our interviews at the time with Canadian fighters Rory MacDonald and Mike Malott.

Wow, Max Holloway.

Most of this week's show is spent discussing the results of UFC 300, but we probably could have spent the entire hour talking about how awesome Max Holloway was in his victory over BMF Champion Justin Gaethje.

We also run down a few fight announcements, including the big one of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler in June, and we have the return of Liam's PFL Corner segment.

Then in our Hammer History segment we look back 500 episodes to late May 2014, and our take on the UFC's experiment in running two events in one day.
