What is said in the show
Aldric Cassata and Alexandre Herbinet open the episode with a brief recap of Duel Fighting 7, followed by a NordVPN ad spot performed inside the cage. They then analyze Sean Strickland's strategy in negotiating his middleweight title fight against Nassourdine Imavov, who is absent from UFC 335 on December 12. The bouts announced for that event -- Charles Oliveira vs. Diego Lopez and Alex Pereira vs. Sergei Pavlovic -- are discussed. The opponents of Noah Gugnon and Mathieu Letho Duclos for their upcoming UFC bouts are then detailed. The UFC 332 debrief from Salt Lake City takes up the bulk of the episode: a debate on the quality of an event marked by eleven finishes including nine in the first round, Natalia Silva's coronation in the women's flyweight division against Wang Cong, and performances from Payton Talbot, Roman Copilov, Imanol Rodriguez, Damian Pinas, Roberto Soldic, Johnny Walker and Bobby Green. The episode wraps up with PFL MENA news featuring Ilias Djiroun in the final, the situation of Tai Tuivasa and statements from Michael Morales.

Key moments
« If it's really a money issue, I'll put 500,000 dollars of my own money on the line if you can beat me in that fight in January. »
Nassourdine Imavov · at 11:36
« He's American and whatever people say, I think in terms of sponsors he's loaded, the money comes in because he's a real character nowadays. Making the other side wait, stalling, negotiating -- I think that's true. »
Aldric Cassata · at 12:14
« Nine first-round KOs don't mean you watched high-level MMA. A KO doesn't guarantee a good event. »

« I think that right now, as we speak, the best flyweight in the world is Alexa Grasso. »
Aldric Cassata · at 55:17
« Ilias Djiroun is a better level than this tournament, I think. He clearly has UFC-level skills, and not bottom-of-the-roster UFC. »
