UFC 285 is in the review but that doesn't mean the MMA game is stopping. This Saturday in Las Vegas, the UFC returns with yet another fight night card, this time headlined by a pivotal bantamweight matchup between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili, and so, as always, the No Bets Barred boys are back to discuss.Co-hosts Conner Burks and Jed Meshew kick off the episode by discussing UFC 285, an event which was undeniably ugly for both. Conner ended up down a few units but that paled in comparison to Jed whose "All In On Shevchenko" plan backfired catastrophically. Now Jed is down to the felt and looking to build back up, and so the boys dive into UFC Las Vegas, with both men weighing the merits of continuing to back Petr Yan, questioning the possible outcomes for the Battle of Alexanders in the co-main event, and digging deep to find value on the undercard. Then, before wrapping things up, Jed offers up a pair of Bellator 292 bets, just for good measure.Tune in for Episode 38 of No Bets Barred.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones discusses his win over Ciryl Gane, potential fight with Francis Ngannou, and a likely showdown with Stipe Miocic. The podcast also covers Alexa Grasso's championship win, Bo Nickal's octagon debut, and Shavkat Rakhmonov's options after his victory over Geoff Neal.

Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou — who is the No. 1 heavyweight in the world?The gang is BACK to wade through the wreckage of another crazy weekend at UFC 285 and make sense of what Jon Jones' violent reintroduction to MMA (and violent introduction to the heavyweight division) means for the bigger picture. Co-hosts Shaun Al-Shatti and Alexander K.

They also hit on Alexa Grasso's unbelievable upset over Valentina Shevchenko and where the new champ ranks among the best fighters in the world today (around 1:00:53).Follow Shaun Al-Shatti @ShaunAlShattiFollow Alexander K.
