What is said in the show
Aldric and Herbi open their 99th episode by announcing a giveaway for the 100th, then pay tribute to Wilfredo Gomez. They devote a long segment to the sole-source contract signed between the FBI and the UFC to train its agents in MMA tactical defense: no public tender, undisclosed amounts, Ali Abdelaziz's central role, and the ties between Kash Patel, TKO, and Donald Trump's inner circle. Aldric downplays the usefulness of MMA in codified self-defense while criticizing official close-combat techniques. They then debrief the UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas: Brendan Allen's rear-naked choke victory over Christian Leroy Duncan in round 5, with a technical breakdown inside the cage, followed by an analysis of his possible next opponents -- Dricus du Plessis or Khamzat Chimaev. The rest of the card is reviewed fight by fight. They debrief KSW 122, covering the performances of Salim El Saidi, Wilson Varela, and Laid Zerhouni. The episode closes with Teddy Riner's statements refusing MMA and the latest news on Sean Strickland.

Key moments
« MMA as a sport, the kind I teach, cannot be used for self-defense or specific work like neutralizing an individual or placing them under arrest. »

« Giving a contract to the UFC means this: you will pay three times if you are a fan. Your ticket, your side fee since this is public money, and you will pay for them to train the FBI. »

« Brendan Allen has 16 UFC wins at 30 years old. I don't know where this guy will end up. But if he sticks around a few more years, his UFC record is going to be impressive. »
