On this week's episode, the lads begin by taking a look back at Ian Machado Garry's win over Carlos Prates at UFC Kansas City.
While Machado Garry had his hand raised, the performance wasn't as emphatic as it promised to be through the first three rounds - leaving questions about the Irishman's championship pedigree.
Meanwhile, Prates is back to the drawing board on the back of his first UFC loss - and the first loss to an athlete from the Fight Nerds stable that has taken the promotion by storm over the past 18 months.

On the back of his win in the quarter-finals of PFL's lightweight tournament, what's next for Kiwi Jay-Jay Wilson - as he continues his charge towards the $US500, 000 prize on offer for the bracket winner. He'll face Gadzhi Rabadanov with a chance to advance to the final in June, with a chance to gain some revenge for his only MMA defeat.
The boys also run the cutter over the UFC Fight Night in Iowa this weekend, where Cory Sandhagen faces Deiveson Figueiredo with the opportunity to become the No. 1 contender for the bantamweight belt at stake.
