  • Ep. 103 - Scrap recap - Retarget Nurd
    Apr 8 2026

    Righto legends, strap in — this week’s ep is an absolute mixed bag of chaos, controversy, and a few proper scraps worth yarning about.

    We kick things off with a full breakdown of Moicano vs Duncan. Was it a sneaky banger or just another forgettable Fight Night card? We chat through the finishes, the wild moments, and whether any of these fights are worth chucking into KO, sub, or even Fight of the Year conversations. Plus yeah… that dodgy illegal kick — you already know we’ve got opinions. And of course, Moicano absolutely letting rip in the presser, not holding back on what was, let’s be honest, a pretty average card.

    Then we roll into a preview of UFC 327 — running through the fights, chucking together a cheeky multi, some head-to-head picks, and the ever-dangerous Piestrong Punt. Gamble responsibly… or don’t, we’re not your dad.

    We also get stuck into some bigger talking points in the fight game right now. Fighters going in busted — how cooked are they really? Merab rocking a freshly smashed nose, Josh Van pulling out of a title fight… makes you wonder how much of this stuff we don’t see.

    Fight announcements are heating up too, especially with Perth on the horizon. Jack Jenkins getting a run, a few spicy rumours floating around, and the card slowly starting to take shape.

    Then it’s onto the circus — because let’s face it, MMA outside the cage is just as cooked. Arman running his mouth (again), Jon Jones doing Jon Jones things, Bud Crawford already back, and Tim Tszyu getting the win but wearing some serious damage. Jiri’s out here saying breathing’s a privilege — bloke might actually mean it — and there’s whispers about who’s training with who behind the scenes.

    We also touch on Strickland stirring the pot with some ridiculous bets, Dana apparently stepping back from negotiations (yeah right), and a few names starting to pop up that you might wanna keep an eye on.

    Bit of everything this week — fights, drama, rumours, and a fair bit of nonsense. Just how we like it.

    Let’s go.

  • Ep. 101 - Scrap Recap - Who gives a S**t
    Apr 1 2026

    Big episode this week as we break down the card headlined by Izzy vs Pyfer. We run through all the fights, the big moments, and which finishes could end up in KO, sub, brawl or even performance of the year conversations. We also touch on what went down in the post fight presser and what it all means moving forward.

    We then shift gears into a preview of Moicano vs Duncan, going over the key matchups and where the smart money sits with our locks for the weekend.

    There’s plenty to get into outside the cage too. We chat fighter pay and whether you really do get out what you put in, plus where things sit with the highest paid guys in the sport. Ariel is back taking shots at Dana again, and fair or not, we look at why Dana doesn’t always help his own case.

    In the news, Conor says he’s back again, Ali gives an update on Islam and the number one contender picture, and we unpack what really happened with the Ilia situation. Bare knuckle is finally landing in Australia, Arman gets another win and payday over Georgio, and DJ linking up with Khamzat has everyone talking.

    We also cover Nate being offered Mac, Volk for PM, Kayla Harrison pushing for the return of the 145 division, and plenty more from across the MMA world.

    Strap in, it’s a big one.
