“Enjoyable listen but I feel like you should be less confident in your analysis if you’re wrong picking fights so often and if the guys you single out as clowns/bad/overhyped get to the top of their weight class half the time”

“You’re criminally underrated and under listened to, this is the smartest MMA pod out there. Keep it up or at least find a pill to help keep it up”

“Been a listener for years. Great technical and armchair fight psychology (not an insult) with plenty of irreverent humour. Plus the boys give out handys at the end of the year.”

“With all the charisma of the 2nd and 3rd chair tubas in your local high school marching band, these two dyspeptic mouth breathers break down fights and offer fight predictions with an accuracy not seen since Rousey took up boxing. I don’t know what these two look like, but there’s a definite “fat...”Read full review »

“Connor and Phil are both fantastic analysts who do a great job talking about the more meaningful MMA offerings out there, mixing in great humor along the way. Can’t recommend this show enough for anyone interested in “the finer points of face punching.” Five stars.”

“I thoroughly enjoy striking analysis, but unlike jack slacks podcast, which provides coherent explanations of techniques flavored with some opinions. This podcast felt to me dominated mostly by conjecture and opinions. In the latest episode It seemed, like aside from watching the fight card, the...”Read full review »

“even though this Tumen guy talks way too much and definitely thinks he’s the smartest fella around, wherever he goes. It may be true when he’s surrounded by headless chickens and the husks of the lobotomized. But for anyone with an unmolested prefrontal cortex, he’s just a blowhard.”

“Good quality MMA breakdowns are hard to come by, so when Connor and Phil get in to it, it’s great.
It’s really frustrating though - almost as much time is dedicated to berating cards, fighters or others involved in MMA as it is breaking down fight.
I wish the hosts would understand that if...”Read full review »
