The majority of us didn't give Leigh Wood too much of a chance to beat a world level featherweight like Can Xu, but beat him he did, and in good style. We reflect on a tremendous performance from the new sheriff of Nottingham and the rest of the first fight camp card of the summer. We also discuss our own working relationship with the broadcaster DAZN and look ahead to the fights the week.

517: WOOD XU BELIEVE IT

Drug cheat, TJ Dillashaw, gets the split decision over Cory Sandhagen but was that the right call? We dissect the main event from UFC Vegas 32 as well as looking ahead to this weekends fight including a cracker from Bellator.

516: A LINE IN THE SAND

It's safe to say Joe Joyce is not like any other Heavyweight on the planet. The question is though, how long can he keep defending shots from 17 stone blokes with his face? We review his performance against Carlos Takam and look ahead to this weeks action in Fight Camp 1.  FIGHT DISCIPLES IS A MULTI AWARD WINNING PODCAST WINNERS OF THE BEST SPORT PODCAST AT THE BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS 2017 AND 2018 *Please leave a review on iTunes http://apple.co/2wijpC1 *Follow us on Facebook www.facebook.com/fightdisciples *Follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/fightdisciples *Follow us on Instagram www.instagram.com/thefightdisciples *Subscribe on YouTube www.youtube.com/fightdisciples #FIGHT #BOXING #MMA #JOEJOYCE #ANTHONYJOSHUA #OLYMPICS #CONORBENN 

515: NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOE

Islam Makhachev is coming for everything at 155 and the only thing that is going to hold him up is getting credible partners to dance. He put in another top class performance at the weekend against Thiago Moises and proceeded to call out several notable lightweight contenders. We dissect the action from the APEX and look ahead to Sandhagen vs TJ.

514: MAK THE KNIFE

We were supposed to crown a new undisputed Super Welterweight world champion on Saturday as Jermell Charlo took on Brian Castano for everything at 154lbs. Both men had their moments and dished up an enthralling fight but once again we are speaking about official incompetence rather than the sweet science. We discuss one of the most ridiculous cards in recent memory. We also look ahead to this weekends action involving Joe Joyce.

513: DISPUTED

Conor McGregor may have lost his trilogy with Dustin Poirier to a freak injury but can anyone justify his tirade of abuse towards his opponent throughout fight week? We go deep on the UFC264 main event and pick out our favourite moments from the whole card.

512: NOT GOT A LEG TO STAND ON

The trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will not proceed on July 24th as planned due to a covid outbreak in the champs camp, but will it proceed at all? We discuss the finer points of what could happen next in the Heavyweight division. Jo Diaz was superb on Lightweight debut against Javier Fortuna and Zurdo Benevidez launched into a thunderous body attack to send a message to the light heavyweights. We also preview this weekends undisputed super welterweight fight between Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano.

511: THE WAIT GOES ON

For one of these men the third meeting between them could be the most significant moment of their respective careers. A win for either and a title shot awaits.   A loss, and the road to UFC glory maybe gone forever. We preview Poirier vs McGregor 3 as well as the standout fights on UFC264.
