Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 318 ratings
  • Too Negative

    I recently stopped listening because it seems like every show Sean blasts DC’s commentary, spewing insults. I don’t care about the commentary and it’s well established he hates it, not a new take. I’ll miss the insight but not the negativity.

  • Great show

    Sean and Graeme do a great job of balancing out their coverage of MMA while still providing some of best and most consistent coverage of the Irish and European scenes. And Sean, who is a well-respected OG in this space, is also leading the way with his efforts to further educate the masses on the scoring criteria that everyone is pulling their hair out over.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 540: UFC 321 Post Show
Q: How would you analyze the fight directly after it?
Ian noted that Cyril Gane's approach of aggressive striking disrupted Aspinall's usual rhythm, which was central to the fight's dynamics before the eye poke ended it.
Ep. 540: UFC 321 Post Show
Q: What did you think of the whole situation with the eye poke during the fight?
Both hosts agreed that it was a disappointing end to what was shaping up to be an exciting match, emphasizing the importance of giving fighters time and opportunity to continue if possible.
Ep. 536: CW Dublin & a huge week for Irish MMA, PFL Dubai, UFC 320
Q: How did Leon Hill perform this week?
Leon Hill had an impressive statement victory in the main event after stepping up on short notice, showing great self-belief and determination throughout the fight.
Ep. 524: UFC at the White House, Jones, MMA dip, PFL and more
Q: What do you think about the prospect of a UFC event at the White House?
It sounds intriguing and would be a great opportunity, regardless of political involvement.
Free Premium: UFC Usman vs. Buckley Preview Show
Q: Who do you think, from Kamaru Usman and Rose Namajunas, what fight is bigger here for both of your careers?
I would kind of say Usman, I think, because if he loses this fight, he's going to be fighting lads coming into the top 15, top 10.
