At UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3, Leon Edwards managed to defend his UFC Welterweight Championship against Kamaru Usman, and silence his critics.  We discuss the entire event, including the wild Gaethje vs. Fiziev fight, in the first half of this week's episode.

Then in the second half of the show we run down the week in MMA news, and preview the upcoming UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Sandhagen card.

Finally, in our Hammer History segment we look back 500 episodes to April 2013, and clips from our interview at the time with Nate Diaz.
