Breaking news, Mainiacs! Right before we started recording this episode, the UFC announced that its new artificial intelligence fighter rankings — developed in conjunction with Zuck and the smart kids at Meta — are out! Finally, the pesky whims of hu... more
I guess we gotta give a small amount of credit to the UFC for showing some uncharacteristic restraint during Donald Trump’s Big Birthday Bash at the White House. They actually kept the overt MAGA Mania to a minimum. They didn’t show D-Tiddy himself t... more
D-Tiddy’s Big Boy Birthday Bash faced an unexpected late-breaking hurdle early this week after a lawsuit was filed to try to keep the UFC’s White House spectacular from happening at all. Now, we don’t think that suit is going to go anywhere, but if i... more
The UFC is coming off a fairly anonymous Fight Night in Macau last weekend and is headed into a fairly anonymous Fight Night back at the Apex this weekend. And yet, we’re just two weeks away from the big White House spectacular, and the UFC also has ... more

These guys legit just suck. They’re chronically online and treat this podcast like their political sounding board. I want to like them, but unfortunately they hate the world they’re living in so much they simply can’t stop crying about it.
Long time listener. We just had one of the biggest UFC events in Years and instead of talking about the fighters, they spend the majority of the time complaining about politics. I’m sick of hearing about politics and not why I listen to an MMA podcast, which is why I’ll no longer subscribe.
An MMA podcast that's isn't full of chuds. Incredible. They said it couldn't be done, yet here it is
This is still a great podcast although some of the charm has faded. What can you expect though? It’s not as if Chad and Ben have missed a step, they’re just adapting to what the landscape is offering which is a relentless schedule and blatant right wing propaganda from the UFC as we close out 2025.

A candid, long-running MMA show that blends in-depth fight analysis with broad business, promotion, and media discussions. Episodes routinely weigh fight dynamics and pay structures against branding, cross-promotions, and streamer deals, all delivered with sharp humor and irreverent banter. Listeners can expect a steady thread of listener questions, Patreon/community updates, and timely take on the sport's shifting media landscape, from Netflix and cross-promotions to pay and promotion strategy. A standout is the hosts' willingness to push back on hype and explore how media, money, and personalities shape the sport as much as the octagon action.
