Chin Check - 357 (UFC 331 NE Preview)

People, Saturday night, the UFC is going to Los Angeles, baby, California. It's getting a 'Numbered Event', and this is a doozy. The Crypto.com Arena, will host the rematch, 'Van (c) vs Pantoja 2'. Now, this has been crazyily anticipated, former champion, 'The Cannibal', Pantoja, is trying to get back what he sees as his. BUT, the current Champ, 'The Fearless', Van ain't looking to hand anything over, not even an inch!

That's not even it though, the rest of the card is stacked with GREAT match-ups!!! The 'Co-main' serves as a Lightweight title eliminator, and we have Arman Tsarukyan challenging Maurício Ruffy. Tsarukyan hasn't fought MMA since 22nd November 2025 and Ruffy is coming off his HUGE 'Freedom 250' KO at the 'White House'! There's also the sophomore effort from Gable Steveson, who goes against Sean Sharaf. Will Steveson be able to build upon his explosive start or can Sharaf produce a seismic shift in reality! Jobs could be on the line too, can Giga Chikadze, Michael Aswell Jr, Tai Tuivasa and Marlon Vera get back in the green tick column!?!

We're never short of talking points, and this card has delivered a ton! So, jump on @ChinCheckPod (ep 357) as we get into every corner of this fantastic card 'UFC 331: Van vs Pantoja 2', as well as recap all the action from 'Week 6' of 'Dana White's Contender Series'!!!!

Chin Check - 323 (UFC 328 Preview)

The UFCs next 'Numbered Event' is coming at us Saturday night from the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey, and it is something f'sure! We have Khamzat Chimaev defending his belt for the first time against Sean Strickland. And that's just one of a stack of incredible match-ups!

One of those match-ups is another title fight. As Joshua Van is also making his first title defence against Tatsuro Taira. Man, this is one hell of a card. No debuts, we just got a murders row all the way through (essentially). In the second fight of the night, you have Baisangur Susurkaev going against Djorden Santos, then right after that Pat Sabatini against William Gomis, right into Roman Kopylov vs Marco Tulio, and that's just the 'Early Prelims'! The 'Prelims' proper opens with Jim Miller against Jared Gordon, then Grant Dawson against Mateusz Rębecki and Joel Álvarez vs Yaroslav Amosov! King Green vs Jeremy Stephens open the 'Main Card', followed by Sean Brady against Joaquin Buckley. Which could be a main event of a 'Fight Night', right? With Alexander Volkov against Waldo Cortes-Acosta fighting for a potential future title shot. And after everything Volkov has said recently, you know he's gonna want to show & prove!?!

This card really is phenomenal (on paper), so who can wait, I know you can't. So, as we do, @ChinCheckPod (ep 323) is going to look at everything, preview it so you don't have to! Sit down, buckle up, and let's check out 'UFC 328: Chimaev vs Strickland'!!!!

Chin Check - 254 - (UFC 317 PPV Recap)

Holy camoly, even with one fight dropping off, 'UFC 317: Topuria vs Oliveira' was a night for the books!!!

Coming from Baku, where there were only two finishes, to Vegas, where we have six, AND the decisions were exciting too! So many fighters on the card made HUGE statements on their potential, what's next, or just the fact that they're still contenders. It was most definitely an event fitting of 'International Fight Week'!!!

Not only did we end the night with a 'And Still' and a 'And New', but we also went 7 - 4!!!! So now, we get to relive all the excitement of 'UFC 317' with @ChinCheckPod (ep 254), "What A Rush"!!!!
