MMA News & Analysis Podcasts

Submission Radio Australia is built for the raw hours. UFC 329 POST SHOW: McGregor Injury, What's NEXT? Pimblett MASSIVE WIN, Whittaker 205, Gable Debut! (July 12, 2026) deals with a main event that ended seconds in. The hosts treat a torn meniscus for Conor McGregor as speculation. They ask what the night did for Max Holloway: by their reckoning, nothing.

MMA Daily, hosted by Gabriel Gonzalez and Natalie Zamudio, slows the reaction down. In From the Jaws of Defeat (April 14, 2026) they replay a title fight in which Carlos Ulberg twisted his right knee throwing a kick in the first round. They then puzzle over Jiri Prochazka pointing down to wave him on and then backing away.

The Co-Main Event MMA Podcast, from journalists Ben Fowlkes and Chad Dundas, is the driest of the lot. In Why is heavyweight? a listener's one-line question becomes an argument that the division needs to recruit like a college football team climbing out of the cellar. A joke in MVP fills out the card + UFC heads to Seattle could serve as the show's motto: "the world is unpredictable but it ain't magical." For the promotion itself, the UFC Coverage page goes wider.

Former fighters can tell you what a choice costs. WEIGHING IN, built around former champion Josh Thomson, is blunt about technique. In UFC ENGLAND RECAP (March 24, 2026) one voice calls a fighter's spinning attacks pathetic. He then explains when spinning earns its place: after you overcommit and need to get back into position.

Phone Booth Fighting MMA pairs former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir with broadcaster Richard Hunter. In the undated Frank announces his next fight, Mir describes "a mathematics to fighting Roy" ahead of a rematch with Roy Nelson, and warns that the safe route may not thrill anyone. Later the talk turns to the death of a dog, which is either the show's charm or its limit.

Some of the liveliest coverage is local. Severe MMA Podcast, presented by Sean Sheehan and Graeme McDonnell, mixes worldwide MMA with the Irish scene. Cage Warriors Come to Ireland! - Ep. 554 weighs a Cage Warriors title against a shot at Dana White's Contender Series. Along the way it cites a fighter who said he got 20 grand for his last fight and 1500 for this one.

Energized Show, from Dublin, goes further down the card. In #610 DENIS FRIMPONG | OKTAGON 85 RETURN, UFC WHITE HOUSE UPDATE & IRISH MMA | THE ENERGIZED SHOW (March 4, 2026) the hosts preview amateur title fights and pro debuts. #614 JAMES GALLAGHER | RIZIN DEBUT, PAUL HUGHES INJURED & IRISH MMA NEWS | THE ENERGIZED SHOW (April 1, 2026) catches Gallagher before his flight to Japan, "not coming to go sightseeing." Longer sit-downs belong on the Fighter Interviews page.

The Brit Pack MMA Podcast, from reporter Simon Head, works from inside fight week. UFC London Preview: Can Leon Edwards bounce back? (March 21, 2025) was taped after a media day during which a fire alarm went off. In it, the hosts note that British women had yet to make an impact in the UFC.

MMA On Point - Podcast steps out of the news cycle. Why The Rock Is Making A $40 Million Movie About Mark Kerr sets Kerr's own account of being sued by the UFC for breach of contract against director's commentary the narrator says he found on eBay. 10 UFC/MMA Rules That Had The Exact Opposite Effect revisits the switch to morning weigh-ins at UFC 199 in June 2016, and brings in a doctor on how easily hydration tests are cheated.

It's MMAzing Radio wants you at the table more than at the whiteboard. Early in Episode 680 - April 14, 2026 - Jiri Blows It the hosts mark National Scrabble Day and wonder how anyone shipped an elephant across the Atlantic. Later comes a top-five list of improbable comebacks. One host's verdict on the sport: "This is a sport of outcasts."

Coast 2 Coast Combat Hour pairs a West Coast superfan with an East Coast media member. In Reactions to the MVP Announced Bouts (March 18, 2026) one of them says Diaz versus Perry has him on the brink of buying tickets.

Gamblou's 'Bout Business MMA Podcast does narrower work, tracking how opening betting lines move. Treat it as market analysis, not as encouragement to bet.
