What a monumental weekend across combat sports and the gridiron! Jax (Making the Walk) and Cross (Crossover MMA) are back to break down a wild Episode 60 of Crosswalk, headlined by an absolute instant classic in Austin.
We kick things off with the ultimate question from the college football slate: Was it an Ohio State collapse or a historic Texas comeback as Arch Manning and the Longhorns pulled off a stunning 24-23 thriller? We also break down Michigan's gritty 17-10 win over No. 11 Oklahoma in the Big House and take a hard look at conference non-conference records. Plus, we cover the rest of the college football weekend action and our Game of the Week, alongside full NFL weekend recaps and our NFL Game of the Week.
Then, we transition to combat sports, starting with a deep dive into the fallout from UFC Noche. We spotlight Jean Silva’s main event star turn, Brandon Moreno's gritty return to form, and map out the next fights to make for Alexa Grasso and Silva. We also react to Ryan Garcia's explosive second-round TKO over Conor Benn in Vegas and preview the upcoming UFC 331 card, breaking down our favorite sleeper fights and locks that won't make it to the judges.
