To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com In what seems to be the most serendipitous timing in history, TKO Holdings was able to close a monumental deal with Netflix worth $5B to run WWE content over the next ten years.

If the Apex were a thing back in the good old days, we’re certain this is where these three fights wou…
UFC 297 was a mediocre dud + Sumo stompin' with Tim Bissell
January 24, 2024 13:01 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 297 was not the best card. As a matter of fact, if I had to rate it on a scale of 1-10, I’d give it a 4. On paper, going into the event, we were quick to notice how there were no ranked fighters on the undercard and eight of those fighters were coming off losses. All four of the opening fights were loser vs. loser. The main card wasn’t much better, …

And with pop culture actually driving the demand for more events, stars like Con…
UFC 297: The end of the Strickland era
January 21, 2024 10:07 - 1 hour - 66 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 297 is officially in the books, the first PPV of the year and it brought us two brand new champions. The card, as a whole, wasn’t very strong on paper, and in practice, it was a bit underwhelming. The early prelims were great and saw serious action from the jump. But as the event wore on, the fights began slowing down. It was almost as if we were in…
UFC 297: Not a great undercard
January 19, 2024 13:01 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com We were pretty happy with the main card of UFC 297, but the preliminary portion leaves a lot to be desired. We can’t figure out how this undercard was paired with the five fights that will come after it. From the lack of ranked fighters to the dearth of name value, we think it’s kind of a stinker. Bloody Elbow is fighting for the sport, the fighters and …
UFC 297: Which weak champ will reign?

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 297 is here to kick off the promotion’s first PPV of the year and they’re doing it in Ontario, Canada. While the main card has an almost weird vibe, it’s a very good lineup of fights. The top two contests are title bouts, but both belts on the line are from two of the three weakest divisions, the third being heavyweight. Bloody Elbow is fighting for …

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 84 just wrapped and overall, it was a pretty nice start to the new year. That said, it still had some terrible moments (looking at you Andrei Arlovski), but let’s focus on the positives before you guys start thinking we hate fights. First and foremost, we finally get to put the ridiculous, forced “rivalry” of Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker…
Ex-UFC voice Mike Goldberg reacts to famous flubs
January 12, 2024 21:13 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MBLegendary combat sports commentator, Mike Goldberg, spent nearly two decades with the UFC, starting in 1997 and making his exit in 2016.

But, all is not lost, as the prelims are actually kind of good. That said, don’t let the featured prelim fool you, because that fight is very likely going to be bad. It’s a heavyweight fight, after all, and we know how those go when the top of the division isn’t fighting. Bloody Elbow is fightin…

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com The UFC is back after a long winter’s nap and what do they give their loyal fans? More Apex slop.

And more importantly, who’s gonna give that crowd pop that great fights deserve? Th…

January 03, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBThe holidays are always good for fun videos and photos, lively quips and interviews and lots of social media posts by combat sports athletes, but none have been quite as mesmerizing as the ones Conor McGregor puts out.

Mojave Diamonds delivers the best unintentional comedy
December 28, 2023 13:01 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Mojave Diamonds won’t be taking the awards season by storm, but it is an unintentional comedic gem.

Bloody Elbow is fighting for the sport, the…

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Rising stars sometimes get put in a padded bubble, especially if it’s one the UFC wants to focus their energy on.
