Uncrowned Network has been killing it, but ultimately, from the weekly line up, I look forward to this show the most.
This show is truly a good hang and, dare I say, for the hardcores. Special shout out to the Donn Davis voicemail caller
New York Erik jerkman’s cold takes (almost 100% right) + his laugh are enough for me but you toss in fkn studs like Georgia Conner and Libby arse kissing frank… what a pod… what a vibe… it’s the boys in the back but tbh the boys are soooo fkn here baby let’s go. Truly great pod with amazing insight. The segments are unreal and not enough love/no love is given to the goat Mr. Burns #buddycallinginforanotifocationofhisvoicemailshouldbeajailableoffence.
Just dropping a line to show support for the boys. I've really enjoyed all three of you gentleman since you first joined the on-air routine with Helwani. BITB is great on its own and a solid compliment to the flagship show, also enjoy the Fight Feasts content and the watch alongs when I'm working and can't watch it with friends. Special shoutout to MF who's really been giving prime Fred Norris a run with the drops lately. Cheers and a well deserved 5 stars.
Never change the intro to your podcast, lowkey my favorite part of the show. Great chemistry between the boys, great takes by mma fans that are super up to date on the goings of the sport. Love the enthusiasm and personalities on the show- guaranteed to laugh multiple times through the show. Here is your 5 star boys- keep up the good work.
For months I've been concerned about my boyfriend. I hear him muttering "James Te Huna" under his breath at dinner, he calls everyone out for their hot takes and he insists on putting in his AirPods after our lovemaking to go to sleep.
Last week I had enough so after he fell asleep I stole an AirPod to see who was whispering sweet nothings into my partner's ears at night...
I get it now. The Boys in the Back just got a new weekly fan. 5 stars

A brash, multi-host roundtable that treats combat sports as theater and business alike. Episodes regularly dissect pay dynamics in MMA and boxing, cross-promotional ventures, and the shifting media landscape around UFC and boxing promotions. The crew blurs hype with insider-level analysis, pairing hot takes on title pictures and megafight talk with behind-the-scenes chatter about press conferences, pay structures, and streaming-era deals. A standout throughline is how promoters, fighters, and platforms negotiate leverage, often with irreverent banter and crowd-pleasing anecdotes that keep conversations lively even when tackling heavyweight pay, cross-promotional cards, and the evolution of fighter empowerment. For potential listeners, the m... more
