Scott and Dan bring you all a little bit of everything after a week with no major MMA events. We've got some interesting data on the frequency of 10-8 rounds, a Contested Round from an event last month in Europe that's pretty damn fascinating, some Past Judgment with an old Brock Lesnar fight, and a lookahead to the upcoming UFC Fight Night. Enjoy!

Against all odds, Dan suggests CSJ puts its full focus on Bellator 285 during a rare non-UFC weekend. Scott happily obliges ... and then Bellator offers precious little in the way of Contested Rounds — four overall. The hosts tackle them dutifully before mixing in a rare treat: an edition of Past Judgment, looking back at one of the weirder fights from the first 100 numbered events, Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes.

Plenty of blood and cuts at the latest UFC Apex event. Scott and Dan discuss the grotesque gushers before shifting to more typical conversation about Contested Rounds, including a pair that the CSJ didn't think were the best of scores. Plus, have the hosts finally found a round that brings them to blows? Gotta listen to find out.

Dan bids Nate Diaz adieu — for now — as he exits the UFC on a win, one in which two rounds were split. Scott and Dan dive into those, the whole damn Daniel Rodriguez vs. Li Jingliang fight, and a handful more from UFC 279 in our day-delayed edition.

Holy 10-10 round, Batman! One of MMA scoring's white whales was sighted in the City of Lights over the weekend, and Scott and Dan have no choice but to explain why it should never have reared its head in what was otherwise a pretty solidly judged UFC debut in France.
