Show Me The Money – UFC Shanghai
The new-era of Show Me The Money podcast keeps rolling with Matty Betss and Jason Anik breaking down the week’s MMA slate before Tai Tuivasa jumps on the episode. The conversation moves quickly from UFC Shanghai fight-night matchups to future fight booking, betting strategies, andsome great banter that has defined the show’s reboot.
The boys start by recapping UFC Sacramento, including Robocop vs. Fluffy, Reinier de Ridder vs. Roman Dolidze, and more fights from last week. Another recap of Contender Series and a preview for this weekend’s Umar vs. Song are also discussed. They also look ahead at who could headline Salt Lake City, preview UFC 331, and debate potential marquee pairings such as Arman vs. Ruffy and whether fans want to see Topuria against Paddy Pimblett.
Tai joins in the back half and the energy shifts into more personality-driven territory: the “Matty in Tai’s corner” hook, whether football could ever be in Tai’s future, and a fun stretch of Tai working through fighter name pronunciations. The episode closes with head-to-head picks for the weekend, keeping the focus on the Shanghai card and the fights immediately in front of them without turning the whole show into a spoiler reel. Enjoy the show!
