The Craic is back! Petesy Carroll is joined by Craic regulars Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes.

The boys open the show by breaking down the UFC 316 weigh-in results and analyzing which fighters looked sharp on the scales (5:14).

One fighter who had no trouble making weight was Kayla Harrison, who challenges Juliana Peña for the bantamweight title. The guys explore each fighter’s path to victory and debate whether the betting line is disrespecting the reigning champion, Peña (10:14).

Despite two title fights on the card, the buzz around UFC 316 isn’t quite where it should be. The trio discuss the underwhelming ticket sales and whether the UFC is currently in a slump with fans (20:47).

Shifting gears to the main event, the guys dive into the biggest storylines ahead of Sean O’Malley’s second title challenge against Merab Dvalishvili (23:42).

Is Patchy Mix the best fighter to make the jump from Bellator to the UFC? Petesy and the lads break down the challenge ahead for the newcomer, as he takes on Mario Bautista in a bid to enter the top of the bantamweight sweepstakes (35:15).

Jon Jones is back in the headlines! The crew react to his latest tweet storm, and weigh in on the increasingly unlikely unification bout with Tom Aspinall (49:03).

To close out the show, Petesy and the guys pay tribute to the late MMA media legend Jordan Breen (56:10).
