Love this show. I only got into MMA about a year ago, and I’m HOOKED. This show breaks down the action so well. Why does DC’s voice keep fading in and out? Super annoying. Would have given 5 stars except for that. Thanks.
Fashion show?

I was looking for a new podcast that covers MMA news and I’m a big fan of DC so I thought I’d check it out. Overall, it was good but they lost me once they spent five or six minutes talking about how the fighters are dressed on fight night. Maybe that translates a little better on the TV show but for a podcast … not so much.
My favourite part about Monday’s

As a young female I am always made fun of for watching MMA and people don’t take me seriously. Your show welcomes me every Monday and Wednesday and makes me feel apart of the action as well as the community. You guys are opinionated and hilarious, offering interesting insights from both fighter and journalist perspective. Thank you!
