    Alright fellas, any decent MMA podcasts worth listening to? Listen to Helwanis MMA hour and Rogans fight companion but I'd like some other recommendations. Ideally the same sort of vibe as rogans with just lads sitting around chatting but I'm open to trying whatever.

    Severe MMA podcast. Although if you are looking for insightful, in-depth knowledge of MMA this wouldn't be it but the two fellas that host it are a bit of craic anyway. Shur dont the Irish love a bitta craic.

    Fighter and the kid with brendan schaub and Bryan Callen is funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    The MMA Hour is a must imo. I also subscribe to the MMA Beat. Nice hourly weekly recap on the week's events.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,552 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Ya another for MMA hour only one I tune in week on week really, the others I find tuning in on occasion Fighter and the Kid and Joe Rogan experience despite featuring MMA personalities aren't completely focused on MMA.

    You can listen to a show I host called Talking Brawls MMA.com podcast. We have top guests from around the world every week. Sherdog have a host of quality shows.

    The Jon Anik & Kenny Florian podcast is as good as any, IMO better than most of the above. Also MMA Hour already been mentioned, Ariel Helwani is fantastic. Very knowledgeable, and gets brilliant guest fighters every single week.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    I listen to them all even Severe MMA one is good the 2 lads do a good job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,203 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    The MMA Report with John Pollock is good. Guy knows his stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,541 ✭✭✭Davei141


    Co-main event podcast is the absolute best. Shout to Luke Thomas Live Chat and MMA beat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Does Jeremy Botter have his own podcast. He appeared on the Second Captains podcast on Monday.

    Familiar with his written work but he's a very enjoyable listen. Very under rated MMA journo in my opinion.

    I like Submission radio

    I don't even find the time to finish MMA "hour" let alone listen to more! Does anyone know if you can download it? I can only find ways to stream it but would handy to have an option to download it to my phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭lougal88


    I have an app from Android called Podcast Addict. Great for downloading all of the podcasts above including the MMA hour. Currently listening to the latest one at work. :)

    Cheers. Downloading it now.

    EDIT: Exactly what I was after! Can't believe I have been listening to it on PodBay where you can't even really fastforward until now!

    MMA Hour is the only podcast I would regularly enough listen to, but often don't get listening to the full show & sometimes miss a week.
    JRE I only listen to depending on who the guest is. Its not really an MMA podcast. Again, not strictly MMA, but MMA fan and usually talks about it a bit is Joey Diaz' Chruch of whats happening, just great stories and drug ta(l)king :D



    Ya know whats a **** 1? Bas Rutten's new show with someone called Mauro I think. I quite like Bas but the other fella is an annoying, cheesey, interupting tit! I think it only started recently, I downloaded the Randleman tribute show which was mostly Bas but I dont think I could listen to any more because of the co presenter

    Thats Mauro Renallo pride commentator,hes a great shot caller in combat havent heard his podcasts though hes probably a bit too much going by your review.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭NightmareUFC


    MMA Hour is great too with ARRRRiel Helwani

    I think you're selling the lads short to be honest. Yes, they tend to shy towards having the craic but there is definitely some nice insight from the lads. Andrew is the main host and directs the flow the convo and tends to play devil's advocate. As a host, he needs to do that, I think anyway.

    Sean has got some really well thought through points. I dont agree with everything he says but he puts his point across in a way that you can respect, easily.

    They could probably do with another co-host to mix it up a bit but I'm happy with how it is right now. Some special guest now and again, could possibly turn into a long term co-host.

    I also quite enjoy the MMARoasted Podcast. It's deffo not for everyone. but i's generally a good laugh. Crude jokes, good guests and awkward silences. What more could you want.

    I seen this and got the urge to instantly promote my own podcast, but some of ones I listen to fairly religiously are any of Luke Thomas' podcasts, whether it be the Promotional Malpractice podcast or the Monday Morning Analysis. Those aren't everyone's cup of tea as they are geared more towards hardcore fans, in my opinion, but they're great. The MMA Beat is another.

    I listen to the MMA Hour in segments as the almost-four-hour runtime can be tough, but it's good stuff for the most-part.

    Co-Main Event podcast is something I'm just starting to listen to. It has been good, but haven't listened to enough episodes to give it a full two thumbs up. Also 5 Rounds from Fight Network can be good; Robin Black is a very interesting and knowledgeable guy.

    Now for shameful self promotion; mine is called "Obviously Fight Talk". Fine us on iTunes, Stitcher, radiomade.ie, Mixcloud and everywhere else really. Won't post links as I don't want to break any rules. We are an new Irish MMA podcast and have had the likes of Cian Cowley, Dylan Tuke and John Redmond on, some in studio and some on Skype. Again, we are just new, but it's been blowing up quicker than even we would've hoped. Have a listen and let us know what you think. You might even be able to tolerate it!

    My subs below... Bushido talk, is very good also. Its the creator of TTHS and John Hackleman, Heavy Hands is excellent for technical break down of events. If you want fun, the SevereMMA podcast with the lads is always a laugh, mma hour and mma beat, Anik and Florian are must's.

    Pocket Casts app also, with web player that syncs, so handy if you listen in bed and then at work next day on web :)

    I wish that was Neil deGrasse Tyson MMA podcast. What a world!

    Also, Pocketcasts is a lifesaver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,301 ✭✭✭artvandulet


    Another one worth listening to is The Great MMA debate with Matt Brown.

    On the Android app front Podcast Addict and Podcast Republic are grand bit if you feel like dropping some big money (2 euro ish) I highly recommend Pocketcasts

    Do people think there is a market for another MMA (probably more UFC) podcast Irish produced, be it weekly, bi-weekly or just for big events (biggest probability) since it is still quite niche.

    Talking to a fairly big radio station about different ideas for something at the moment. Getting an idea here before doing proper research would be nice.

    Ya, I was thinking similar so we would probably only do one for big events.

    The station is pretty strong so should have no problem gaining interest for it really with internal ads etc.

    One thing I'd say,something that attracts me to listen is strong opinions,I cant stand fence sitters afraid to call a fight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Depp


    Not really ufc focussed but Ian McCall has a new one out thats fairly unreal, called storytime with Ian McCall and its a good listen!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭SDTimeout


    Thanks for the love in this thread lads.


    Chuffed that people enjoy the Severe one, myself and Sean have great crack. Hopefully 2016 expands everything in massive ways for everyone! We're always open to harsh criticisms where we can improve so please leave them here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 nmg4
