The Boys in the Back begin the show by covering news and notes, starting with the latest on the Ali Revival Act and Nico Ali Walsh's efforts to make changes (03:57). Then, they preview UFC 331, including Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja as a potential Fight of the Year (14:06), what's at stake for Arman Tsarukyan, whether Ilia Topuria reemerging hurts Arman's chances at a title shot (43:04), and more. After making picks (1:29:48), The Boys deliver their P4P "Oh wow, congrats," listen to your voicemails (2:11:39), and answer your Super Chats (2:43:47).
