MMA Fighting - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Great show by a bunch of guys who seem to genuinely like each other. Makes you feel like you’re just talking fights with a couple of buddies, and the weekly format of different shows on different days is something nice to look forward to every day leading up to fight. Keep up the great work, fellas.

Had to unsubscribe, sometimes I can’t watch the fights until the next morning and I can’t have spoilers in the titles of the podcasts I listen to. Kinda ruins the fights for me. Nothing wrong with the content itself but seems like a misstep for a podcast that’s for fight fans.

-Less dead air and awkward “doo doo doo’s” for the podcast audience -More BTL and Jedd -There’s no point in having 10 different shows if everyone says the same thing (Quality over Quantity) -Mike + Guest(s) is a can’t miss combo The lads do great work, MMA media is young and this is still the highest tier content out there. I’ve been apart of Combat Sports the majority of my life, it’s a bubble that’s hard to stay on the outside of when analyzing. These people do a great job of walking the tight rope without falling too close or too far from the picture as a whole and letting it taint their perspectives like it does to a lot. For example, If you ever find yourself thinking that fighters pay is actually fair as it is now then you have fallen into the bubble. If you think all fighters deserve the same rate of pay, you’ve fallen too far the other way. Use this review as a testimony to the higher ups- invest in better microphones, better cameras, backdrops etc. Water this plant so it keeps growing, it will pay for itself on the back end. My Dad, brother, and I all discovered we listen to this channel and trust me that’s a WIDE NET in terms of audience. And as always- More Parker Porter.

These guys/gals deliver the news without ego, argument or negativity (except Alex K Lee... an inside joke of the podcast). Mike Heck is a fantastic host who keeps the ball rolling from topic to topic. The show is even kid friendly (for the most part...I think...I’m pretty sure).

I used to LOVE all MMA Fightings content, I would listen to multiple shows a week. Over time through, I got tired of the negativity and the politics seeping into the discourse.

I don’t listen to Pre-Fight podcasts to be told how terrible the fight card is. I don’t listen to UFC podcasts to be told how evil Dana White is. I don’t listen to podcasts to hear how unacceptable it is that fighter X said X.
I want to hear about fights, and be pumped up! Even if it’s a lackluster card.

Sports should also be an escape from political narratives. Sometimes things need to be reported on, but most of the time, this is the fight game. We don’t need political posturing or prose in MMA.

All that said, they have some great programs and fun ideas. I hope they can get back on track with the singular focus of MMA and promoting Fun!
