NewYorkRic and Chuck Mindenhall (with a brief appearance by GC) join forces after the conclusion of UFC 317 to recap the whole event, starting with Ilia Topuria’s blistering first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira (01:21) and then diving into who should be next for the newly crowned lightweight champ.
Next up, they touch on Joshua Van’s thrilling win in a Fight of the Year contender against Brandon Royval (19:42), Alexandre Pantoja’s smothering submission of Kai Kara-France (23:12), and the likely clash between the two after their in-cage faceoff.
Then, they go over Beneil Dariush’s decision win over Renato Moicano (34:58) and hit the main card opener: Payton Talbott’s bounceback win over Felipe Lima (39:18).
They wrap things up with the prelims (49:17), including Gregory Rodrigues’ scary knockout of Jack Hermansson, and Chuck offers his final thoughts on the card.
