The MMA Vivisection & 6th Round Podcasts

The UFC is back on their home turf at the Meta Apex, so you know what that means—a whole lotta meaningless and/or bad match-ups. The main event is somewhat intriguing but nothing to write home about, and the co-main is a sad state of affairs. Aside from the main event, we have but one other ranked fight, a decent women’s ...

The UFC is once again surprising us with their location. This week, they’re in Belgrade, Serbia. And once again, we ponder why it wasn’t set for another location. But according to reports, a site fee was involved, so there you go. The card is a whole lotta WTF and very little substance, but as we’ve often seen with ...

The UFC is surprisingly in Abu Dhabi this weekend. Given the situation in that region of the world, one would think that locale would be postponed, but not for this promotion. No siree, Bob! The event is chock full of fresh faces, as well as some old-timers, and of course, we get the prerequisite duo of heavyweight bouts for the love...

The UFC is in Oklahoma City this weekend, and the official hashtag for the event was #UFCOCK, initially. It took the social media crew at the premier MMA organization a couple hours to get their hilarious blunder managed, but they got the job done. It isn’t the best looking card, especially for an on-the-road event. That said, ...

The UFC is on home turf in Las Vegas this weekend for their 329th numbered event. The T-Mobile Arena is host to the Conor McGregor-Max Holloway main event and the very good card that supports it. The matchmakers definitely put some effort into the main card, for sure. The co-main event is such a banger—all of them are, really&m...

We are here this week to celebrate the worst picks from UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gaziev, UFC 303, and UFC 306. There’s a lot to unpack with these dismal offerings, and our trio of doom didn’t let us down with their razor-sharp wit and scathing commentary. Let’s take a look at the fights they chose to lambas...

The UFC is in Baku, Azerbaijan this week and they’ve put together a solid card. There’s plenty of great matchmaking, as well as some showcasing of new talent. The main event is a great one, as are most of the featured attractions. Absolutely love the Charles Johnson-Asu Almabaev fight, too. Also, you’re welcome for ...

The UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend, and again this month we are treated to a semi-solid card. Is it gonna set the world on fire? Probably not, but it’s well-matched and features some good up-and-coming talent. The headliner looks like an absolute banger, and makes the event worth watching. Now, let’s take a look at...

The UFC is headed to the White House. I never, in a million years, would’ve seen myself typing that sentence, but here we are. The card is a weird one with a title on the line taking the main event spot. The co-main will see who shakes out as the new interim heavyweight champ, and a fight between Mauricio Ruffy and Michael Chan...

The UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend, and it is a surprisingly decent card. I wouldn’t go so far to call it great, but it’s got the bones of what an Apex card should have—solid veteran action with a dash of good matchmaking and a pinch of possible upward mobility. The stats are okay if you can get past a 12-bou...

The UFC is in Macau (or is it Macao?) this weekend, and it is a borderline terrible card. Not only do the on-paper stats look a mess, the matchups, themselves, also look quite weak. Plenty of squash matches pepper the event throughout, but it’s in heavy abundance on the main card. Macau deserves better. Now, let’s take a ...

We are here this week to celebrate the worst picks from UFC 219, the TUF 22 finale, and UFC 171. That’s quite a spread to choose from, but our team didn’t let us down, plumbing the deep, dark depths of the boredom pool to come up with three contests that are sure to put anyone who dares to watch them without our companion...

The UFC is back in Vegas this weekend, and of course, that means they’re in the Apex. And let me tell you, this absolutely looks like an Apex card, albeit a decent enough one, considering. The main event is a banger and there are a few fights sprinkled throughout that have our attention, but overall, aside from the two ranked f...

UFC 328 was a genuinely good card on paper and it delivered plenty of action in practice too. Baisangur Susurkaev defeated Djorden Santos via rear naked choke to kick off our finishes, but he had a lot of folks worried up to that point. Jim Miller proved once again that he feasts off any mistake, instantly capitalizing and making Jared Gordon tap out to a guillotine. It really is Miller Time tonight. Grant Dawson would keep the sub...

The UFC is back on the road, this time to New Jersey, where fans are never rude or disrespectful. Never ever…right? All kidding aside, this card, especially the main portion is top notch. There are four ranked bouts, with two titles on the line, and it just feels like a card worthy of being a numbered event. That Van-Taira fig...

The UFC is back on the road, this time to the land down under in Perth, Australia. The main card isn’t half bad with a great main event and some solid offerings leading up to it. Of course, it’s always a good day when Marwan Rahiki fights, so there’s that to look forward to. Can’t say the Tuivasa vs. Sutherlan...

The UFC is back in the warm embrace of their chosen arena, the META APEX. Where normally I would sling all sorts of insults at the talent level of the card, this week, I’m going to try to focus on the positives. Like the main and co-main events both being ranked fights. Like the fact that only nine fighters are coming off losse...

The UFC is back on the road to Canada, and boy, oh boy, the fine folks in Winnipeg are really getting the short end of the stick with this miserable offering from the promotion. Sure, they get some local favorites on the card, but not only is star power lacking, ranked fights and quality are, as well. We have several fighters on mult...

UFC 327 was a really solid card on paper and it delivered some solid moments in practice, too. Vicente Luque defied oddsmakers when he not only defeated Kelvin Gastelum, he stopped him in the second with a pretty gnarly D’arce choke. Tatiana Suarez kept her streak alive when she choked out Loopy Godinez in the second round, and Mateusz Gamrot put an early end to Esteban Ribovis’ night with an arm triangle to wrap up the...
