This week on the show Maine and Miranda recap Polaris 23 that was the most stacked women's bracket ever. We also discuss IBJJF and USADA suspending 5 athletes for failed doping tests.\xa0

In the news section we go through all the suspended athletes and what they were taking.

In the recap section of the show we discuss the women's -66kg bracket\xa0 on Polaris 23.\xa0 Plus the superfight between Chris Weidman vs Owen Livesey that ended with Owen taking a close but exciting decision in one of the best takedown matches we have seen in a long time. \xa0

In the stacked Women's bracket we talked about every match. In the Quarterfinals
Ffion Davies took a decision over Giovanna Jara on points, this was the only points win in the first two rounds. Elisabeth Clay submitted Joanna Dineva with a great Reverse Triangle after working on it earlier in the match, Amy Campo submitted Julia Maele with a Rear Naked Choke a little more than halfway through the match.\xa0 Brianna Ste-Marie submitted Maggie Grindatti with a textbook Armbar after Grindatti escaped one of the deepest non-break Kimura's we have seen ever on the show.\xa0

In the semifinals Elisabeth Clay submitted Ffion Davies with a Toe Hold in under 3 minutes cementing her slot as one if not the best women's leg locker on the planet.\xa0 Amy Campo submitted Brianna Ste-Marie with a Rear Naked Choke almost at the buzzer less than 10 seconds before the end of the match.

In the finals we saw Elisabeth Clay beat Amy Campo by one points due to Campo sitting back for a leg and Clay taking top position.\xa0 This event was great.\xa0

We also briefly recapped SOGI and Keith Krikorian match on the card and the heavyweight title match.\xa0
