MMA On Point - Podcast

Some of these MMA/UFC rules are incredibly stupid, some of them are just poorly thought out despite the best of intentions. Either way literally every single regulation here was a massive fail and it meant the exact opposite of what was intended actually happened.

The UFC pushes fights on fans all the time and these are perfect examples of either pushing people to soon like in the case of Darren Till, too late like Stipe Miocic or even without money being a big benefit to booking them. Were fans really paying out for an immediate rematch for Sean O'Malley? Was Miocic bigger than Aspinall vs Jones? What was the point of these title shots?

UFC may be the big dogs in combat sports, but things don't always go their way. In fact, their own athletes in the case of Jon Jones or Conor McGregor get one over on them frequently. Other organizations and people like Turki Alalshikh as well. These are the times the UFC had to bow to someone else.

Merab Dvalishvili just put on a showcase performance against Sean O'Malley and frankly made it look quite easy. The question is, with such a dominant run already and of course, Joe Rogan making the declaration that Merab in fact is the GOAT on broadcast...Is Merab the best bantamweight of all time? What about Cruz, Dillashaw, Aljo?

Some bookings fall through and it catches you totally off guard. That's actually most instances, but sometimes, yeah there is an exact moment you can point to and sure enough, you knew that fight was never going to happen. So these are those precise moments UFC/MMA were never going to happen.

Lucky rabbits foot, not changing certain articles of cloathing, stick to exact routines and things like this definitely exist in other sports than MMA, but the examples in this video are..... well unique. We're talking outright cheating to trying to cast spells and all manner of wackiness. These are craziest things people actually tried to give themselves an edge in MMA/UFC.

There may never be a more incredible story that was depicted in the Smashing Machine documentary. Now that the Rock is making a $40 million movie based around Mark Kerr, it begs the question...why? Here is the real story.

Most MMA/UFC interviews are pretty standard and don't really say much. "Just give me whoever the UFC wants next." plagues this sport. Sometimes these post-fight interviews can be insanely more interesting than that. Whether it's hinting at retirement, sponsor beefs, or even petitioning governments, there is just so much here. Take a look!

MMA is a really tough business to get into if you are wanted to compete with the UFC. At this stage, it nearly feels impossible. Back in 2006 when the International Fight League came along however, they developed a unique concept; team-based MMA. It was a bad idea. A really bad idea. The same was recently tried by the GFL and it's unlikely they will even hold an event with several cancellations in place already. So... let's watch this calamity fall apart.
