"Kicking off this edition of TTP is our interview with Oktagon heavyweight and light heavyweight champion, Will Fleury. Fleury talks about the frustration of only being able to get two fights in during this calendar year. He had his eyes set on defending his light heavyweight belt a couple of times, and the chips just didn't fall where he wanted them to. Now he finds himself in an exciting showdown with former UFC heavyweight Martin Buday for the Oktagon heavyweight title. He breaks down that fight and talks a bit about what he's hoping for in the year 2026."
"With the year of UFC in the rearview mirror, the TTP crew brings back one of their favorite segments. On the Combat Countdown this week, we look ahead to December of 2026 and try to predict if the current batch of champions will be able to hold on to their belts. There was a lot of movement in the ranks this year - particularly right at the end. Are the guys forecasting another tumultuous year for those on top? For this segment, all odds via FanDuel Sportsbook."
"Closing out this edition of TTP is our interview with CFFC middlweight, Guram Gochashvili. The Georgian middleweight discusses the weird gap in his resume and why it exists. Plus, he digs into moving to America and sharing how he wound up training at Teixeira MMA and Fitness. Now precisely where he needs to be, and back in the groove of fighting, he finds himself with a huge opportunity at CFFC 149 this weekend. He fights Chris Brown for the vacant CFFC middleweight title. He breaks down that fight for us and also tells us a little about what it is like to get to this point in just four professional fights."
