  • The best in the Biz

    This is hands down the best mma podcast by the OG best journalist in the sport of MMA. Ariel is just as passionate about the sport now as he was when he first started. If you want insightful interviews from the best in the sport, this is for you. The boys in the back and Petesy add a lot of fun and personality to the show as well.

  • Can we plz stop the wwe nonsense

    I was so happy when I learned that Ariel was coming out with a wwe specific show so that I would never have to waste my time listening or trying to skip through all the wwe nonsense but nothing has changed. I do enjoy the mma side of the show though.
