·1 hr 40 min·5 clips

Sean Strickland stops Anthony Hernandez in round three and rewrites the middleweight conversation.

1. Silly Gilly Goose MMA Show opens with Mason, Noah, and Connor recapping UFC Fight Night in Houston and setting up UFC Mexico City picks. 2. Mason, Noah, and Connor say they are "three UFC diehards, not experts," and they use the episode for post-fight reads, Golden Geese, and year-end belt guesses. 3. The episode asks which fighters from Houston and Mexico City deserve the next step up the rankings. 4. Carly Judas beats Juliana Miller by unanimous decision, and the hosts emphasize Judas' striking and Miller's durability. 5. Jordan Leavitt defeats unbeaten Yadier Del Valle 29-28 with takedowns, reversals, and heel-hook attempts. 6. The crew keeps returning to Leavitt's size for featherweight after he drops down from 155. 7. John Paul Labusani and Phil Rowe go to a split decision that the hosts think should have been 30-27 or a different result. 8. Puna Soriano edges Ramiz Brahamaj 29-28 after defending eight takedowns and landing three of his own. 9. Soriano's control time and 53% striking accuracy push the hosts to call him close to the welterweight rankings. 10. Jocelyn Edwards survives a bad first round against Nora Cornolle before the second-round finish and shoulder injury change the fight. 11. The ref discussion around Kerry Halfley becomes part of the reaction, because the stoppage and judging both draw criticism. 12. Alder Correa wins 30-27 across the board over Luis Guerrilla and looks polished in a stacked flyweight division. 13. Alavi Ederis outworks Odie Osborne with control time and grappling, though the hosts think he gets reckless when he tires. 14. Carlos Leal and Chitty Nojikani deliver a pace-heavy welterweight war built on leg kicks, body work, and long exchanges. 15. Zach Reese and Mikhail Perera spark a scoring fight that leaves the panel split over whether the bout should have been a draw or a Reese win. 16. Jacoby Smith uses wrestling and a reversal sequence to finish Josiah Harrell, while the hosts praise Harrell for taking the fight on seven days' notice. 17. Sergei Spivak surprises the crew by winning on the feet against Ante Delija and becomes the show's first correct Golden Goose. 18. Melichwiesel Costa ends Dan Ige's night with a spinning back kick knockout and sends the discussion toward bigger featherweight matchups. 19. Juros Medic knocks out Jeff Neal in the co-main event, and the hosts talk about Medic as a serious welterweight threat. 20. Sean Strickland stops Anthony Hernandez in the third round, and the episode closes with ranking chatter about who holds each belt on December 31, 2026.
