  • The MMA Depressed-Us: Road House
    May 23 2024
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com

    Road House was the Little Engine that Could back in 1989, when it became a cult classic. “Pain don’t hurt” became the motto of every wannabe macho man on the planet. And then it got rebooted. They replaced the perfectly cast Patrick Swayze with a too-quick-witted Jake Gyllenhaal and gave the role of the big bad to UFC superstar Conor McGregor and made a…

    Phew! We haven’t had one of these in nearly three months. The UFC’s schedule has been absolutely insane, but now that we have this small break in their dismal Apex programming, we figured we’d bring you something to make you feel right at home. THREE MORE DISMAL FIGHTS! Because that’s exactly what you needed in your life.

    We’re barely into the new year and UFC has already left us high and dry just two weeks after returning from a month-long drought. But lucky for you, our terrific trio are here to get you through this week with a re-watch of three godawful title fights. If the Apex were a thing back in the good old days, we’re certain this is where these three fights wou…

  • The most depressing fights of 2023
    Jan 4 2024
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com

    2023 was a pretty wild year. The very first day saw UFC president Dana White slap his wife on camera and that kind of set the tone for the rest of the year. One thing that never changes is the sport’s ability to provide some of the greatest fights, and alternately, some of the worst. That’s why we’re here, to provide you with an unbiased (or maybe compl…

  • Mojave Diamonds delivers the best unintentional comedy
    Dec 28 2023
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com

    Mojave Diamonds won’t be taking the awards season by storm, but it is an unintentional comedic gem. The acting is awful, the dialogue is ridiculous, the action is brawlic and the vibe is as cringe as one would imagine when met with a cast that features Chael Sonnen, Donald Cerrone and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

  • Shogun: Wasn't he good in PRIDE?
    Dec 21 2023
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com

    Mauricio “Shogun” Rua made his name in PRIDE and cemented it in the UFC with a style that was crowd-pleasing in both promotions. Fights with Rampage Jackson and Dan Henderson are what fans immediately call up to memory, but you could really go through his record and see a veritable cornucopia of names going as far back as 2003 when he faced Evangelista …

  • MMA Depressed-us: Fall Foul Festival
    Nov 23 2023
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com

    With no UFC until December 2nd, the boys are back with another depressing watch of three fights. The focal point of the show is foul play (fights with lots of fouls). Pretty ingenious considering we’re about to enter the foulest holiday of them all. We’ve even got a Faux Phil since real Phil was unavailable for recording. Let’s take a look at the fights…

  • MMA Depressed-us: Up-and-comer downers
    Nov 16 2023
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com

    Let’s face it, friends, UFC Vegas 82 is a miserable card, as most Apex events are. Zane Simon certainly picked the right week to go on vacation, so that he could be spared of this nothingburger of a card. But never fear, fans of sanctioned violence, the boys have a brand new episode of The MMA Depressed-us and it’s a hoot!
