This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 78 might not have had much heft on paper, but in practice, it delivered for the most part.

UFC Apex: A whole lot of losers

August 10, 2023 12:59 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

It will be a day of celebration if we ever get an Apex fight night card that actually looks good on paper and not just in practice, in spite of itself. That day is definitely NOT today. Just in case you were wondering, there are zero ranked fights on the undercard and of course, there are zero ranked fighters there. Bloody Elbow is fighting for the sport, the fighters and the fans.

Who's got more left in the tank, RDA or Luque?

August 10, 2023 12:01 - 1 hour - 71.7 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com This week, the UFC is back at the Apex, and trust us, it shows. The card technically has no ranked fights, even though there are ranked athletes facing each other—they just happen to be either moving down or up a division to meet their opponents. And at the top of this very Apex card, we have two men who’ve been fighting wars for most of their lengthy c…

UFC Nashville main event stinks up the joint

August 06, 2023 07:22 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Nashville was not a bad card on paper and it wasn’t bad in practice—for the most part. It had the right mix of name value and compelling contests. It saw a rising prospect looking to claim the first rung on the contender ladder taught a valuable lesson: the last men on the totem pole are the lowest tier gatekeepers to the inner sanctum. Those guys t…

Another solid UFC Fight Night card means it's not at the Apex

August 03, 2023 14:54 - 1 hour - 73.1 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Nashville will be directly competing with Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz, but fortunately, UFC had the foresight to throw together an above average event. The main event is going to be an absolute firecracker. Rob Font wasn’t the original opponent, that was Umar Nurmagomedov, who had to withdraw with an injury, so we are being treated to a catchweight bout…

UFC Nashville prelims are great

August 03, 2023 14:46 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Nashville is a good card and that’s demonstrated in the compelling matchups represented in the lineup. Every fight has a recognizable name—a marked difference from Apex cards—and every one has clear potential for upward movement. Most importantly, all the fights look exciting, at least on paper (looking at you Quarantillo vs. Jackson). Bloody Elbow i…

He talks about the extremely unconventional approach he took to his treatment and what life’…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 291 might be over but the aftermath is still with us. It was, as the title suggests, phenomenal.

BMF belt sucks but the fight rules

July 27, 2023 13:26 - 1 hour - 83.1 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 291 has stiff competition Saturday night.

Derrick Lewis, back on the prelims

July 27, 2023 13:25 - 1 hour - 56 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC 291 thankfully didn’t totally bankrupt the undercard with fights of little value. As a matter of fact, there are a few compelling matchups there. The one that is most visible is Derrick Lewis vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima and for obvious reasons. Derrick Lewis hasn’t seen an undercard since February of 2016. Bloody Elbow is fighting for the sport, the f…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com There’s been no shortage of big news in the last two weeks.

Not all London cards are the same

July 23, 2023 00:12 - 44 minutes - 41 MB

This year’s UFC London card was almost a bust and definitely a far cry from the ones of Christmas past. The opening bout was absolutely bonkers for the 94 seconds it lasted, then we got the ho-hums for the next five fights. Even the crowd seemed underwhelmed by the fights, including the finishes. We did get big crowd moments for the last few fights but for the most part, this event kind of gave us a bad case of the yawns (looking squarely at you Jai Herbert and Fares Ziam). The Bloody Elbow...

Surprising depth on the undercard

July 20, 2023 15:57 - 1 hour - 67.5 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Hooray! It’s not an Apex card! It’s not PPV quality either, but it’s befitting of what a London card should be—loads of fun matches with recognizable names interspersed with rising prospects. The undercard delivers on that front and with a very important women’s bantamweight bout appearing here, it gives one the feeling that we’re going to be watching a…

The return of Tom Aspinall

July 20, 2023 15:56 - 1 hour - 74.4 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC London is a pretty fun card, but of course it would be since it’s not being held at the Apex. They seem to put in a little more effort when a show is on the road—a far cry from the Fight Night fodder we’ve been getting. That said, we don’t want to gild the proverbial lily here. The Bloody Elbow Podcast is supported by our readers and listeners. To r…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Dana White is at the center of this week’s news cycle and there’s a lot to unpack.

We also take a look at the rumor mill where Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev were at…

July 16, 2023 06:56 - 1 hour - 59 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 77 just wrapped up and Mayra Bueno Silva shocked the world when she finished veteran contender Holly Holm in the second round. The contest saw Holm blitzing early and Bueno Silva landing some hard combos late. The second round was a stark departure, though. Holm tried to wall-and-stall and MBS punished her for it, catching her in standing ninj…

July 14, 2023 01:57 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Ho hum, back to the Apex for one of the worst booked cards of the year, possibly ever. Aside from the main event, there are no other ranked fights. As a matter of fact, only 3 fighters in total are ranked and of 17 athletes are coming off losses. Watered down, dud of a card, typical of these Apex shows. The Bloody Elbow Podcast is supported by our reader…

At least the prelims have Jack Della Maddalena

July 14, 2023 01:56 - 1 hour - 72.5 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com UFC Vegas 77, as a whole, is an objectively bad card. There’s very little in the way of impactful fights, name value or the promise of entertainment. It’s like Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard put names in a hat and threw together whomever they drew out. There is one blessing on the prelims, though, and his name is Jack Della Maddalena. The Bloody Elbow Podc…

We've got a few bones to pick with the UFC...again

July 12, 2023 17:13 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

This past Saturday night, the UFC put forth one of the best cards we’ve seen in quite some time. It was action-packed and entertaining from start to finish. Every fight felt important and impactful and each one felt like I could see the delineation between the UFC and everyone else. You could throw a dart and whichever promotion’s name it landed on could be number 1 or number 25 and there’d really be no difference, so wide the gulf would be. Even on paper going in, UFC 290 had plenty of c...

Examining Bellator's fighter contract

July 11, 2023 17:10 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MB

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com The UFC is the industry leader in MMA, without a doubt. The promotion is in the unique and very fortunate position of having a monopoly and a monopsony all at once, and their financial statements illustrate that point quite well. One of the ways they’re able to profit so heavily while the fighters make so little (around a 13-14% revenue share) is becaus…

UFC 290 has a terrific undercard | Vivisection

July 06, 2023 15:58 - 1 hour - 62.7 MB

It’s been so long since we’ve been treated to a truly worthwhile card, we’re just bubbling over. The main card is loaded with a pair of title fights and a title eliminator. The prelims are equally praiseworthy with the retirement fight of Robbie Lawler after a 22-year career filled with amazing knockouts and bloody battles. Thank you for listening to this Bloody Elbow Podcast. Our posts are public so feel free to share them. The rest of the prelims are just a laundry list of certified ban...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bloodyelbowpodcast.substack.com Guess what? We have another stinker of a fight night card.

UFC Vegas 75, a card for flyweight fans | Vivisection (PRELIMS)

June 15, 2023 15:43 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

UFC Vegas 75 is not loaded with ranked fights (just one) or even ranked fighters (just three), but it does have some redeeming qualities. A solid main event in Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier and a spate of flyweight and bantamweight fights.

UFC 289 Prelim Card Picks, Odds, & Analysis | MMA Vivisection

June 09, 2023 02:37 - 1 hour - 45.1 MB

Simon says… The UFC 289 prelims have a pretty solid featured fight for ESPN between Nassourdine Imavov and Chris Curtis. In fact, it's solid enough that it's kind of a shame that it's not on PPV. Otherwise, much like the main card, the quality drop-off here is steep. The stakes are low, the prospects are minimal, hopefully the quality of the action will … This is a public episode.
