Juliana Miller discusses surgery recovery, sponsors, training at Sikjitsu
November 01, 2023 12:01 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBWe had a special guest drop in this week, TUF 30 winner Juliana Miller gave us 20 minutes of her time to discuss the surgery that’s taking her out competition until sometime next Spring, the external sponsors she’s managed to acquire, training at Sikjitsu and more. I had toyed with the idea of making this our bonus content, and in the episode, that is what you’ll hear, but in practice, I am making the entire episode free so everyone can have access to the interview.

MMA Depressed-us: Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou is gonna suck
October 26, 2023 12:01 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Yep, the title says it all. We think Fury-Ngannou will not be competitive. Is there really any other sane way to look at this? The training footage Ngannou released over the last several weeks has not been encouraging, to say the least. Is Tyson Fury even training for this fight? Bloody Elbow is fighting for the sport, the fighters and the fans. If you …

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 294 had quite a few shakeups along its journey to Abu Dhabi, but the card was solid, even if punctuated by some weird moments.

UFC 294: A big test for Mokaev
October 19, 2023 12:01 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com The undercard for UFC 294 is pretty robust, like the main card, and features some intriguing pairings. The one that’s really got our attention, though, is Mokaev vs. Elliot. Elliot is a savvy veteran grappler who depends on split-second adjustments and scrappiness. Mokaev is the exact opposite, often demonstrating control and technical wrestling. In his…
UFC 294: Actually a better card?
October 19, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 78.8 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 294 might have lost two of its key players, but we still think it looks great.

Sure, Chimaev vs. Costa was a good…
The rumors were true about Showtime Sports
October 18, 2023 12:00 - 52 minutes - 47.7 MBA few weeks back, we told you all a rumor that Showtime Sports would be closing its doors for good by the time 2024 rolled around. Unfortunately, that rumor proved to be true, with confirmation hitting the community today. All 38 employees, including Stephen Espinoza, will have their positions terminated. Dan Rafael reports that contractors and freelancers (including Luke Thomas and Shakiel Mahjoury) will not be affected by the regular staff cuts. We take a look at Tim Elliot’s extreme hate...
UFC Vegas 81: A card that deserved a packed arena, not the Apex
October 15, 2023 05:25 - 1 hour - 45.4 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com We’re just coming from a damn good card that should have been given an audience in an arena not named the Apex.

Terrance McKinney needed just 20 seconds to get the job done an…

It DOES happen, just not very often. We’re not here to look a gift horse in the mouth, though. We’re here to celebrate the great things about the event. Let’s start with the obvious: There are three ranked fights AND a seventh ranked fighter—seven fighters ranked on a single card? Yes, we like this a whole lot. Then, as …
Darren Elkins in 2023?
October 12, 2023 12:00 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com As with the main card, there is some name value to be noted on the prelims, too. But what made us scratch our heads was that Darren Elkins is riding in the featured prelim spot. Okay, but are we to ignore that Darren has only won three fights in his last nine? We actually have a ranked fighter on the prelims in Chris Gutierrez. Why wasn’t that fight in …

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com For the last few days, “pundits” from all over the MMA and boxing communities have been weighing in on the lawsuit against Dillon Danis, launched by Logan Paul’s fiancee.

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 80 is officially in the books and what a quick end to Grant Dawson!

Daniel Cormier had to talk him down as he was summoning his corner to bring the pooch in. Between that and Vanessa Demopoulos leaping i…
UFC Vegas 80 Prelims: One ranked fighter to carry them all
October 05, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com That’s right, folks, there’s just a single ranked fighter on the prelims. Karolina Kowalkiewicz will be doing all the heavy lifting Saturday night.

Now, Poland’s shining star has the weigh…
UFC Vegas 80: Where's the main event?
October 05, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 80 isn’t a completely terrible card. It’s got reasonable fights on it, even if there are only two ranked fighters across the whole of it. Bearing that in mind, we are left to wonder where the main event is. Surely it can’t be Grant Dawson vs. Bobby Green. That’s hardly the stuff headliners are made of and further, it’s hardly the stuff that ge…

October 04, 2023 12:00 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com This week’s UFC card is quite possibly the most APEX card we’ve ever seen and that’s saying something.

An unfortunate end to UFC Vegas 79
September 24, 2023 04:01 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 79 saw a spate of decisions on the prelims with just one official finish (vintage Tim Means!) and a DQ stoppage as the most notable moments. The main card, on the other hand, saw all fights end in a finish with the exception of the co-main event, which was a good fight. The headliner would end early, but not on a high note. Unfortunately, as R…
UFC Vegas 79: We've seen worse
September 21, 2023 12:02 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com We’re kind of having a hard time believing this is even an Apex card. We have three ranked fights and tons of recognizable names on the bout sheet—even across the prelims. This is the exact opposite of what we’ve been getting. Is this the beginning of a new era? One where the matchmakers show that they appreciate the insane amounts of money we fans dump…
UFC Vegas 79: It's fine...we guess
September 21, 2023 12:02 - 1 hour - 78.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 79 isn’t too bad. No, really, we mean it. Let’s start with the fact that we got THREE ranked fights on an Apex show. They aren’t fights that are going to set the world on fire, but they’re solid and more importantly, they’re inside the Top 15. It’s also an event that seems to not have been ravaged by injury cancellations and bout reshuffling, …
Is CSAC going under? (FREE episode)
September 20, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBThis is FREE episode week! California’s athletic commission is experiencing what appears to be a slow death. Fight Opinion’s Zach Arnold wrote extensively about it on Bloody Elbow and the word he used was “atrophy”. That seems like a perfect word to describe what happens when higher taxes, mergers, attempts to force sanctioning for promotions like Power Slap and a spate of other factors create the perfect storm for collapse. Aside from a few Bellator shows and a Top Rank boxing card here an...
Noche UFC: What the hell was that?!
September 17, 2023 07:11 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Listen, that main event was a really good fight—maybe the best of Valentina’s career, but it should not have been a draw. We felt Grasso took three rounds but we’re fine if you scored it the other way. How one judge scored round 5 a 10-8 is beyond the realm of comprehension. Bloody Elbow is fighting for the sport, the fighters and the fans. If you share …

September 14, 2023 12:01 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Now before you get upset, we want to preface this with the fact that this card was positively ravaged with cancellations and late replacements, hence the title. And to be fair, there are still some interesting bouts at play here. Tracy Cortez vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius is an amazing matchup between two tough-as-nails women. Lupita Godinez vs. Elise Reed i…

September 10, 2023 07:25 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 293 had some wild moments, for sure.

Assorted Australians
September 07, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 293 is a card that seems like it was cobbled together from the leftover parts of a better PPV. We’re not saying it’s bad, but we’re not going to go as far as to call it great. We did notice the matchmakers clearly didn’t put much thought into the bout order, and setting the Tafa-Lane rematch for the main card rather than Mullarkey-Makdessi seems kin…
How far is too far when hyping a fight?
September 06, 2023 12:01 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 293 is just around the corner and despite a lot of criticism, we like the card. It’s not heavy on fights that will make a sizable impact on the rankings, but where it lack importance in that regard, it makes up for it with entertainment value. What’s not to love about Carlos Ulberg vs. Dan Un Jung? Manel Kape may be fighting a late replacement but F…

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Paris looked awful on paper but in practice, it worked out well. The finishes outweighed the decisions and the ones that went to the scorecards were mostly fun fights. As the title notes, Cyril Gane had an easy night. Serghei Spivak, for whatever reason, decided not to engage with the Frenchman. He was easily bullied around the cage, continuously on…
Who the hell are these people?
August 31, 2023 12:01 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com For a quick minute or so earlier this summer, we were lulled into a sense of security by the UFC. Just hear us out for a second before you get out the butterfly nets. We already know Apex cards are the “it’s okay to miss” events, but we knew when a show was targeted for anywhere else, it would end up with better matchmaking. Yet here we are, in Paris, w…

August 31, 2023 12:01 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Yep, UFC is treating Paris to an almost good card. Fight cancellations and reshuffling definitely wreaked havoc on this event but there are still some bright spots worth noting. Rose Namajunas vs. Manon Fiorot is one of them. Namajunas will present the toughest challenge to date for Fiorot and the winner here could end up facing the champ or possibly go…

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com We hated this main event going in, but in practice, it was a damned good fight. The Korean Zombie went out on his proverbial shield after putting forth a great effort, albeit one that fell short. The thing he was known for—leaving it all in the cage—was displayed once again, as the 36-year-old did just that, choosing to go for broke in the center of the…

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Singapore is a top-loaded event with the majority of the “good fights” happening on the main card.

To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Singapore had the chance to be great, but they chose a squash match to headline the card and now we must all worry about the Korean Zombie’s future health after his contest with Max Holloway. We would prefer that Chan Sung Jung face off against Cub Swanson but no, we have to bear witness to what will likely be a rout. And for us, that kind of kills …
Conor whines about not being able to fight, still not in USADA test pool
August 23, 2023 12:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Conor McGregor sure has a lot of blame to issue when it comes to why he won’t be fighting in December, but unsurprisingly, none of it rests upon his own shoulders.

Sean O’Malley will likely never make ‘McGregor money’
August 22, 2023 12:00 - 20 minutes - 18.3 MBSean O’Malley walked out to Lupe Fiasco’s ‘Superstar’ and by all accounts, he fits that bill to a T. His title bout with Aljamain Sterling set records just by virtue of his being there. How do we know? Because Dana White said so. Yet despite his star power and despite the record-setting, he likely won’t ever make the fabled ‘McGregor money’—once referred to as ‘Anderson Silva money‘—even if he were to land that boxing match with Gervonta Davis he called for in his presser interview after th...

UFC 292 Prelims: The unnecessary return of Chris Weidman
August 17, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 76.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Make no mistake, UFC 292 is a really good card. That said, Chris Weidman’s return makes all of us a little angsty. To be honest, that angst is tinged with a healthy dose of pity. If we could count the amount of times we’ve heard or read someone ask “Why?”, well, let’s just say it would be a lot. Brad Tavares isn’t exactly a spring chicken either, and ha…
