PEOPLE, I am still vibing off this weekend’s action, UFC & NFL!!!

We had a GREAT end to this stint on 'Fight Island' with 'UFC 257'.

Just think of the stories and rivalries that have come out of that event, right!

It all starts off with TWO incredible fights! Amir Albazi vs Zhalgas Zhumagulov. Albazi wins, but, both are gonna kill it in the division! Then there was Movsar Evloev against 'The Carny' Nik Lentz. This was a war and so much fun!

There were questions leading into Julianna Peña vs Sara McMann and Peña most definitely came with the answers.

Gotta say, Matt Frevola vs Arman Tsarukyan wasn't meant to happen, but both stepped the hell up, so mad props!

No one was really talking about Marina Rodriguez but after her stoppage of Amanda Ribas (and, come on people, Ribas isn't done), they will be now!

Makhmud Muradov looked real good and got the finish in a good fight with Andrew Sanchez.

Joanne Calderwood won her fight, we'll see if it leads to a title shot. But it was good to see the bad blood is done with Jessica Eye.

In the Co-main Michael Chandler stepped into the UFC with a BANG, as he stopped Dan Hooker. Hope it wasn't the last we've seen from Hooker!

Then, the sequel was short, BUT, it's given us a killer storyline and potential trilogy! Dustin Poirier stops Conor McGregor. FANTASTIC reaction from both and, listen, not everything needs to be a lesson, but this was a perfect learning point on respect from both. Cause we saw great fights f'sure, BUT, we also had a night of pure sports(wo)manship!

AND, don't forget cause the Green Bay Packers threw down with Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then Buffalo Bills went head to head with the Kansas City Chiefs!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 140) @ChinCheckPod
