Strickland-Imavov, an accident that delays everything? + Habirora-Abdoul, did we miss something?
Strickland's accident, a missed franco-belgian banger and MMA weekend previews.
What is said in the show
The show opens on Sean Strickland's buggy accident and the liability waiver signed at the UFC Performance Institute, suggesting a concussion and a possible postponement of his fight against Nassourdine Imavov scheduled for December. Aldric and Herbi then debate the PFL: they regret that Patrick Habirora and Abdoul Abdouraguimov, both on the Lyon card on December 19, are not matched against each other. The new matchup of Ilian Bafia against Fabian Edwards in Lyon is discussed, as is John Martin's departure from his position as CEO of the PFL. The DWCS week 7 debrief covers six contracts handed out: Marcos Degly is praised, Alvidassouev criticized for abandoning his mixed game, and Norbert Noveni Junior called out for a disappointing performance despite his victory. The UFC Fight Night preview highlights Raoul Rosas Junior against Raoni Barcelos in the main event. UFC news includes statements from Volkov, and the situations of Pereira and Gaethje. Previews of Hexagone MMA 47 in Toulouse, with the new main event Bivol-Cypra, and of ARES 43 in Paris, with Josh Aucon against Fabakari Diata in the main event, close the show. At the end of the episode, the announcement of the fight between Azael Adjoudj and Movlid Kaiboev at PFL Dubai on November 14 is revealed.

Questions raised in the show
Aldric Cassata : « Normally you go through the UFC when you get injured. They're the ones who decide when to announce it. If it even needs to be announced, actually. But yeah, the way this is being handled just makes no sense. » 4:43

« Patrick Habirora, Abdoul Abdouraguimov, the guy who flashball KOs everyone against the king of the ground. To me, the PFL missed an insane banger. »

« What's starting to bother me is that we're changing sports. There's no guard anymore, no feint, no framing. People just stand in front of each other and... that bothers me. »

« I think they have a clear path. Between Elda Fraoui and Patrick, their choice is made at the PFL. They absolutely want Patrick to win, I think. »

« I see Diata winning the rounds, and in the Conor scenario, if he lands, he wins. A bit like the Jiroun script. »
