-Another new state for the UFC then in the form of Kansas, and shit they’re edging ever closer to hitting all 50 now which makes me happy! This one had a really great main event but little else in terms of name value, so I was just hoping for some exciting stuff on offer. UFC Fight Night...

-This was the first ‘big’ UFC PPV of 2019, with a duo of title fights at the top of the card with a main event of Jon Jones defending his Light-Heavyweight crown against Anthony Smith, as well as the debut of Ben Askren and a generally loaded undercard. UFC 235: Jones vs....

-This was the UFC’s first show in the Czech Republic, yet another European country for the promotion to break into. Of course, it was your standard European UFC card with mainly European fighters and a local flavour rather than anything marquee, but it still looked decent on paper. UFC Fight...

-This was the UFC’s first show on the proper ESPN network and they brought a hell of a main event – the return of former Heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez after nearly 3 years out to take on the most powerful puncher in the division, Francis Ngannou. Rest of the card wasn’t so good but...

-This was the first UFC main event of 2019 to be changed – on the third show nonetheless – as originally Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum for the UFC Middleweight title would’ve headlined, but on the day of the show Whittaker came down with a really bad hernia and had to pull out,...

-This was the second ESPN+ Fight Night card and for a Brazil show it was pretty strong; rather than do all Brazil vs. foreigners up and down the card we actually had two Brazil vs. Brazil fights at the top, with a Bantamweight title eliminator in Marlon Moraes vs. Raphael Assuncao and a hell...

-This was the first ever UFC show under the new big-money ESPN deal and the first Fight Night – following the same series that was on Spike and then Fox Sports 1 – to be shown on a streaming service, in this case ESPN+. It was a pretty big card too with a hell of a main event –...

-This was initially set to be one of the year’s biggest shows with two major title fights including a champion vs. champion match between Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes….but things then got weird when Jon Jones apparently tested positive for steroids – kind of – and rather than just...

-This was the UFC’s final ever show on Fox prior to the big move to ESPN this year and shit, I can’t believe it’s been 7 years already! It wasn’t the strongest card either to be honest – the halcyon days of title fights on Fox in like 2012/13 were long gone – but a couple of the...

Having watched both Raw and Smackdown in full for the first time in ages, it only seems fair to take a look at the competition. AEW obviously should emerge as the WWE alternative, but for now, lets look at the promotion that will never die, Impact Wrestling. Last time I watched Impact, it...

Not content with my first Raw review in over 4 years, I thought I’d give Smackdown Live a try to see which show is best worst. New Day/Ziggler Promo Kofi fighting Dolph brings back fond memories of RRCs past when WWE was fun to watch. I don’t hate Ziggler like a lot of people do...

It’s been a long time, but for one week only, welcome back to the Raw Review Crew. Last time on the RRC, it was 2015 and a one-off edition before WrestleMania, featuring Stardust, Swagger, the Divas title and a whole bunch of other stuff nobody misses. I don’t always watch Raw any...

-This looked like a pretty quality show on paper, with one of the best main events of the year in Max Holloway vs. Brian Ortega for the Featherweight title, a solid co-main event between Valentina Shevchenko and Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the Flyweight title, and the likes of Jimi Manuwa, Thiago...

-The first UFC show in Australia for a while, this one had a trio of intriguing fights on top with Aussie heroes against pretty tough opponents, but while it looked like curtains for veteran Mark Hunt in his fight, I figured it could be a coming out party for Tyson Pedro and Tai Tuivasa, and...

-TUF Finales seem to be a bit of a waste of time these days given Dana White’s Contender Series is clearly the best way to get onto the UFC roster at this point, but somehow the show keeps trucking on. This was the 28th season and it probably had the least interest to date. Main event for...

-After venturing into mainland China with a trip to Shanghai in 2017, this was the UFC’s first show in Beijing. As a Fight Pass card it was obviously lacking in big names, but with an Overeem fight and a cool-sounding main event between Curtis Blaydes and Francis Ngannou, I was...

-This was the UFC’s first trip to Argentina following their first trip to Chile earlier in the year, as I guess they intend to expand across South America and not just Brazil. Despite a lack of name value, this one looked exciting on paper with the likes of Cynthia Calvillo, Khalil Rountree,...

-This was being treated as a seriously big deal considering it was a Fight Night card, but it was for good reason as it was the UFC’s 25th anniversary show coming from the place that the whole thing started in 1993 – Denver, Colorado. Pretty fun-sounding card, too. UFC Fight Night...
