Time to collect more passport stamps as its wheels up to Shanghai, China this weekend. The octagon is taking root in the SPD Bank Oriental Sports Center for some much anticipated UFC action! As with these things, China is repping a number of talented homegrown fighters. With decorated vets Meng Ding & Jingnan Xiong kicking the night off and looking to make a positive first, second impression! There are eight fighters making the walk for the first time, with Cam Nelson hoping to play spoiler as he helps open the show! After a blistering DWCS introduction, 'The IndoNinja' Bilal Hasan will be wan

So the UFC is going to Sactown this Saturday, bringing 13 fights to the Golden 1 Center for a 'Fight Night', so we're gonna look at that. We also get to recap 'week two' of 'Dana White's Contender Series'. So there is so much to go over, man, so much! There are four debuts going down, with Contender series alums having their time to shine. Interesting, intriguing, matchups, people looking to right the ship, show & prove, and make moves in their division. Let's get @ChinCheckPod (ep 349) popping, and check out 'UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs Rodrigues' as well as 'week 2' of 'DWCS, LFG!!!! Watch

If you can feel that buzz, that emotion, people, well that is the anticipation of a UFC 'Numbered Event' just around the corner. AND, this one is a little more spicy, as there are TWO title fights anchoring the card! Which is taking place in Philadelphia (first time since 'UFC 133: Evans vs. Ortiz 2', 6th August 2011) at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. The 'Liberty Bell' and crowds are gonna get rung, cause they're coming back hard, with this card. Two debuts and starting off with hometown hitter Jeremiah Wells, who's taking on streaking Myktybek Orolbai. Could there be a passing of the torch as Nei

How do you top a stellar night in Serbia, is the question? As UFC Belgrade ended up, not just being a phenomenal, but also a record breaking night. Well, you just put together a night full of fighters looking for their moment to shine, their chance for redemption or even their chance to say goodbye! After 41 fights, 30 being under the UFC banner, Saturday night will be the final walk for 'The Damage' Darren Elkins. Who has given us some many exciting, edge of your seat moments. It won't be an easy evening though, as Yadier del Valle is coming off his first loss and wants to show that was just

This weekend, the UFC has its very first event in Belgrade at the Belgrade Arena. We have got a whopping 14 fights, with, 11 debuts, which must be (maybe), the highest number on a card. There's a lot of intriguing matchups, where it seems winner takes, all, loser leaves the organization. So there's a lot to fight for. And when you look at the last two, Jan Błachowicz vs Navajo Stirling & Uroš Medić vs Daniel Rodriguez, these fights may not lead directly to a title next, they'll put you higher in the pecking order. All of which means, there's plenty to talk about on the @ChinCheckPod (ep 434) i
The Octagon is picking up more air miles, as we go from Oklahoma, all the way to Abu Dhabi. We have a 'Fight Night' that is all about opportunity. On Saturday night, any of these 26 fighters can elevate themselves into the peoples consciousness with an exceptional performance or an extraordinary finish that lights up the 'Etihad Arena'. We have two fighters returning from long-term injury, the 'Argentine Dagger', Santiago Ponzinibbio, and 'The Prodigy', Wellington Turman. They're facing two tough opponents though, in Sam Patterson and Islam Dulatov. There are also six fighters making their deb
After a 'Numbered Event' with a record number of finishes, and a 'Main card' where nothing went past the 1st round, where do you go from there? Well, Oklahoma City of course, and the Paycom Center to be precise for a 'Fight Night' featuring a clash of former champions! We have five fighters making their debuts in the octagon, and the 'Main card' features the potential next generation of stars ready to make statements that will drown out recent events! One such bout being, Tabatha Ricci vs Fatima Kline. With the Strawweight strap being contested at 'UFC 330', both women will want to show that t

When you think about everything leading into this weekends ‘UFC’, no truer words have been spoken, than those from the great James Todd: “Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years I'm rockin' my peers, puttin' suckers in fear Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon Listen to the bass go boom Explosions, overpowerin' Over the competition, I'm towerin'” Cause when ‘The Notorious’ steps into the cage Saturday night, he’s not thinking ring rust, he’s mind is set on destruction! However, he’s not facing a fresh faced rookie, the ‘Blessed’ is also one of the greatest to ever do it, and he’s
As the octagon makes its second trip to Azerbaijan, the UFC is looking to deliver yet another thrilling night for fight fans, similar to last week at the Meta Apex. Taking place at the renowned National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, this event is positioned to shine the light on more up-and-coming, potential stars! The night is anchored by two great fights, in our 'Co-main' Sharabutdin Magomedov vs Michel Pereira and 'Headliner' Rafael Fiziev vs Manuel Torres. But the 'Main card' alone is spicy, as Abusupiyan Magomedov vs Michał Oleksiejczuk start things off, and Nazim Sadykhov vs Matheus Camilo s
After an earthquake, there is a shockwave that can be just as devastating. So if ‘UFC Freedom 250’ was the quake, then Saturday’s ‘Fight Night’ could be our shockwave! It’s not a card stacked with stars, BUT after a showcase that had so many eyes, this is the opportunity for these fighters to display their talent, their potential. With a ‘Co-main’ that gives a vet and a rising star a real platform. Then a ‘Headliner’ with title implications, ‘UFC Fighter Night: Kape vs Horiguchi’ has plenty to keep you watching. And @ChinCheckPod (ep 333) will have you up to speed on making that choice!!!
Obviously, everyone is looking forward to UFC Freedom 250, right? But before we get to that, we have another Fight Night, and we have some great fights on deck! So we don't wanna sleep on this people! From the 'Prelims', with fights like the debut of Jeisla Chaves against Yuneisy Duben, or seeing if Jordan Leavitt can continue his run at Featherweight as he challenges Joanderson Brito. The 'Main Card' opens with Iwo Baraniewski vs Junior Tafa, which has the potential for explosive action! Or seeing who can position themselves for that next step, as Farès Ziam vs Tom Nolan clash. And of course,
After a dark week, the UFC is back, all the way from Macau, China. We get an interesting card at the Galaxy Arena, with some intriguing matchups people, and a sleeper card. Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby, have done a great job, putting these interesting fights together. A former champion against a potential challenger in the main event. Then match-ups like Sergei Pavlovich against Tallison Teixeira in our 'Featured bout'. Or we have Kai Asakura who has a lot to prove, and Cameron Smotherman who wants to show he is not a one fight wonder. Jake Matthews against Carlston Harris, is also one hell of
Newark was a blast, and now the UFC is back home at the Meta Apex for another 'Fight Night' card. Maybe not as dazzling on paper, but after last week, standards have been set, bars have been raised, so everyone on Saturday night will be looking to make their claims. There are fighters looking to keep their jobs, others trying to get a crack at ranked opposition, or title consideration. With all of this, Saturday's match-ups have a lot line, just at a different scale to last week! Four fighters also make their debut, Thomas Gantt, Artur Minev (fighting each other), Christian Edwards (Modestas B
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
Yo people, from the Apex to Perth, Australia, the UFC is bringing a killer 'Headline' fight, in Jack Della Maddalena vs Carlos Prates to the RAC Arena. 13 fights and some really fun matchups, like our featured bout Tim Elliot vs Steve Erceg! It's not necessarily a card jammed with superstars, but there's a lot of up and coming talent here, and the matchmakers have put together a host of intriguing encounters! We have a couple of debuts and some fighters who really need to switch up their fortune. Which should (hopefully) lead to excitement from Dom Mar Fan vs Kody Steele to Marwan Rahiki vs Ol
So the UFC is back home, back in Vegas, at the Meta Apex for another 'Fight Night'. We have a great card, anchored a former Bantamweight Champion and a surging young star! And before that, essentially the number one contender for the winner of the upcoming Women's Bantamweight belt, and a challenger on an impressive hot streak. Now, I think there's probably a lot on these fights, right? If Norma Dumont wins, she's cemented her shot at the belt. BUT, if Joselyne Edwards wins, she could have next! There is obviously Mosar Evolve, BUT, maybe an impressive win gets Aljamain Sterling or Youssef Zal
Okay, people, so the UFC is heading to Manitoba, Winnipeg in fact. Canada got itself 12 great fights, and the Canada Life Center is going to be rocking! We got a vet against a prospect in the headline bout, as Mike Malott is going up against Gilbert Burns. The Co-main is fire too, as Kyler Phillips goes up against Charles Jourdain. There's several debuts too, with Mandel Nallo, Márcio Barbosa, Julien Leblanc, Gökhan Saricam, and Jamie Siraj. Plus a host of fighters on the bubble, so who's going to take the opportunity to shine!?! Will this be Canada's day to shine, well, @ChinCheckPod (ep 317)

There's been a LOT of talk about the start of the Paramount Era and whether the cards have been legit. Regardless where you stand on this, there is NO question that any sensible Floridian will be hot stepping to Miami's Kaseya Center, cause the 'UFC' is coming in with fire this weekend! We may have lost the Flyweight Title fight, but damn, this card is jam packed with name recognition fighters! I mean, the 'Prelims' could be a 'Main Card' anywhere else (especially Netflix)! Opening up with Tatiana Suarez vs Loopy Godinez, and topping with Patrício Pitbull vs Aaron Pico, damn!!! There are a LOT
After an all action card in Seattle, it's back to home base at the Meta Apex, before the next BIG numbered event! With the addition of what's now the first fight of the night, it's 13 deep for Vegas, and everything is putting to the 'come up'! With fighters on the potential cusp or potential axe, there's plenty on the line Saturday night. We have a couple of debuts, a fighter returning to the fold, and a few others from long-term injury. So the question across the board is "who has what it takes to get to the next level?"!!!! As we do, @ChinCheckPod (ep 313) is here to break everything, there'
