What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

We all should feel grateful that we have a show like this to listen to 5 days a week The new Uncrowned era was a vision of Ariel and it came to fruition And he has put together quite the supporting cast It’s by far the best place to go for UFC info

Drummer 30yrs!! · Jul 2026

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.

I love tuning in every day to get all the combat sports info. It’s funny and informative. Gets me through the workweek.

Uncrowned Champs….really the Crowned Champs, the best in the business are back in our lives!!!! Ariel, NY Ric, GC, and Mysterious Frank as well as the crew in the back. I’ve been a loyal listener since 2012. Over the years the show has become an integral part of my life. So happy it’s back and continuing to expand! Appreciate everything you guys do, keep up the great work!! Dallas

I was torn on leaving this review. I’ve been a long time fan of The MMA Hour and Ariel Helwani’s various ventures throughout the years. I enjoy the occasional interview, however, the quality of guests, topics, and depth of knowledge of the sport have been lacking. It feels like the focus of the show has been shifting toward Ariel being more of a media personality than a journalist. If you like that type of content, you may enjoy this show. I don’t. Other sports shows are guilty of this as well but I’d like to say that hearing gambling odds more often than actual analysis is not enjoyable. Hearing a strangers parley provides me no entertainment value and teaches me nothing new about the sport or athletes.
