  • Luke Ruins It

    Brian is great but Luke has become such a bitter and angry man that I have trouble finishing episodes. BC should get a new host.

Morning Kombat: 2025 Recap, Year-End Awards & 2026 Predictions
Q: Which fighter are you most excited about in 2026?
I'm excited about Islam Mahachev and Armand Soryukian's journey in the divisions as they evolve and potentially dominate.
Thanksgiving Mailbag | Fan Questions | Morning Kombat
Q: Do you think Prime Ronda could still challenge a lot of the people in that top five?
Yes, she could still get some wins, as her aggressive style would still overwhelm certain opponents in the modern bantamweight division.
Thanksgiving Mailbag | Fan Questions | Morning Kombat
Q: Do you think that there should be a limit on how far back we consider a win, a good win?
Yes, there are limits to how well a win ages, depending on the context and the evolution of the fighters involved over time.
UFC 322 Pregame Preview: Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev Presented By Cuervo® | Morning Kombat
Q: How close or is this the fight that Islam is a more accomplished fighter and has a better legacy than his great teammate, Habib?
Islam can never be that. He will always live in the shadow of Habib. But if you go up to 70, and I don't know if he'll flatten Della Maddalena, if he does, this is a level of accomplishment that Habib simply did not reach.
