It was an action-packed weekend in combat sports, and BC and LT are with you to go over it all.

Starting with the main event at UFC 323, where Petr Yan managed to become a two-time UFC bantamweight champion in something of a route of Merab Dvalishvili. Just how special is this victory and what makes it such a noteworthy achievement?

In Saturday's co-main event, Joshua Van became the new UFC flyweight champion, but in a very unusual way as Alexandre Pantoja injured his elbow/shoulder just 30 seconds into the bout. What, if anything, is there to glean from the situation?

There's more to go over from UFC 323, plus, the guys discuss the draw between Lamont Roach and Isaac Cruz.
