Never 'Count' Michael Bisping out! No, we didn't record this episode just just to take advantage of the man's documentary being released later this month...but given that happy coincidence, we will try to take advantage of that for clicks and clout. Joining us this week in the CEO of Metal Blade Records, as well as author, podcaster, visionary, and…

Welcome back to the first ever Golden Firasberries! Where we choose the very worst that this year had to offer in the world of MMA.

We're back at it again, still doing the damn thing!

The MMA wordsmith joins Ben & Jason for some silly talk about a very silly fight. This week, they look at the 2018 Rizin fight between Jiri Prochazka and Brandon Halsey. Butt-cheek grabbing, WWE-style acrobatics and incredibly dumb submission defence feature prominently in this entertaining scrap. Chuck Mindenhall is the consensus greatest MMA writ…

Truly a momentous day for you, your loved ones. and the MMA community as a whole. It's been a wild few months. From the criminally insane and veterinarian ringside phy…

UFC 3 was a crazy time for humanity. Outside the Octagon you had Bill Clinton becoming the President of the USA, Kurt Cobain killed himself(no relation), and Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos...but anyhoo, inside the ring we had an eight-man one-night tournament that included fighters that were kung-fu street cops, a hillbilly from up near Canada th…

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO₄ silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO₂.

We're back and with a Bengeance! Boy'o'boy do we have a women's bout for you this week! When Angela Magana stepped in to avenge her submission loss to Jessica Aguilar in the first bout of their trilogy, it's fair to say that there wasn't all too much bad blood spilt between the pair. By the end of the fight however... P.S. Yes, that's the best titl…

Outrageously mismatched fights are our kind of fights, so long as they're not in a major promotion. However, if they are in a major promotion, then they'd better come with a finish, and yes, I'm looking at you, Mike Jackson. You could say Aliev Makhmud only had a puncher's chance when he stepped in to fight Japanese legend Kiyoshi Tamura for his MM…

That's a better title than that fighter or this fight deserves. What happens when a moveable force meets a stoppable object? Is it a dead pigeon on a windscreen without wipers? Is it a cuckholded husband clinging to the few remaining remnants of a once beloved relationship? Is it UFC prelims circa 2004? You decide.…

Much like a Martin Kampmann's interview, we're gonna keep this description short, uninteresting, and leave our talking for when those bright lights hit that eight-sided chain-linked maker of men. One recommendation though, watch this fight in advance. If a picture can paint a thousand words, a video of two men wellying lumps off each other also pai…

Long before Dana White ever cared about the sanctity or morality of MMA promotion, other rules of the sport were being broken in a far graver way...Graver?...More grave? Irregardless, this week's HindFight is far less palatable than anything Bjorn Rebney ever did, as we've a fight which includes every single illegal move known to the MMA world, alt…

Did we just take the same naming pun of 'love' and 'glove' as our last episode and simply repurpose it?

This week we're headed out to the parking lot of a West Coast, pr…

We're back, and better than ever. With the standard set so low that may not be as much of a triumph as one would expect, but we'll celebrate it as such regardless. Kicking off this season he have a fight for the ages, but Jason's slept a combined total of four hours this week and he's uploading this at midnight on a Wednesday, so we'll let the talk…

F*ck Larry Landless, and other such gems. Maybe the funnest fight we've covered so far, and easily the one that drew the most rage. Blackbelts in non-existent martial arts, career changing weight cuts, trash talk that could have been penned by a five-year-old. They truly were the golden days of men fighting each other in cages.…

Never leave it to judges! Y'know, unless you've done everything in your power to circumvent that, and then...wait a second. I'm not going to spoil it, have a listen instead to one of the weirdest fights to have ever graced Invicta and Women's MMA as a whole. Well, outside of she-hulks fighting pensioner grannies that is, but you know what we mean.…

Much like a Zombie apocalypse, nobody knew how much they loved a good two tap until UFC London came around.
