A week after the peak of 2022 MMA judging outrage, Scott and Dan are tasked with breaking down every, single, round of the final UFC fight of the year, a five-round split decision with dueling 49-46 cards. But, in a Christmas miracle, the collective MMA world seems to ... understand how that could happen. The CSJ are no different, and yet the hosts still break down all the rounds, plus six more from Saturday at UFC Apex.

PFL wrapped its 2022 season with a bang, and Dan was in-house in Manhattan to soak it in. Oh, and he's a self-described genius too (he'll explain). Meanwhile, Scott was home sick during the holiday, and yet both hosts made time to go over the few Contested Rounds from the championship event. That includes a split decision between Aspen Ladd and Julia Budd. How'd the CSJ score it? Listen and learn.
