  • Exceptional!

    This is one exceptional podcast. Mike Davis and Joey Venti walk us through the history of mixed martial arts by interviewing the history makers themselves. This is my favorite podcast, hands-down. When it comes to my podcast, queue, MMA History skip the line every single time. Thank you so much for the work you do.

  • Perfect for the Diehard or new fan!

    I’ve been following combat sport for two decades+ and consider myself pretty knowledgeable but I still get my mind blown and learn new things each episode. Mike and Joey are great host and really dig deep with the guest. This is a must listen for any diehard fan of combat sports and good for newer fans to learn the REAL history of the sport!
