Degenerates Welcome...

"For those of you who don't know, the MMA Vivisection is Bloody Elbow's long-running pre-fight breakdown show. Where we pick over all the ins, outs, odds-and-ends of each and every fight on any given card on any given week. Over time we've tended toward the UFC end of things, but now that we're going indie who knows, we might just branch out a bit.

The Vivisection was started back in 2013 by 'Kid' Nate Wilcox and Dallas Winston, and I, Zane Simon, took over hosting duty shortly afterward. I'm joined each week by my trusty co-host Connor Ruebusch, and together we've recorded more than 600 episodes as of 2023.

Alongside the Vivisection, I also host the 6th Round Post-Fight Show with Eddie Mercado. Started back in 2014, we're currently more than 300 episodes deep, bringing fans all the post-event hot takes they could ever hope to handle.

For fans looking to support our work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, first podcast patreon is a great place to start.

It's also likely going to be the only place to access our non-UFC week podcast, the MMA Depressed-us in the future...

BONUS: Higher tier Degens can access your chance to tell us what to do. For those brave enough to take on the 'Ultimate Degen' tag, we'll take fight suggestions for 'The MMA Depressed-us' (anything but Namajunas/Esparza 2). And we'll read out your fight pick/breakdown on air for the MMA Vivisection. Potentially other future options could include: special event Vivisection requests, fantasy fight breakdowns, and other exclusive content."

*** The Vivi shows & 6th Rd will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and all of our other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to the MMA Depressed-us from here on out.

If you are also a devoted follower of any of our other BE Presents Podcasts, such as: Care/Don't Care, The Level Change Podcast, Crooklyn's Corner, The Hey Not the Face! Podcast, Show Money, 6th Round Retro, Exclusive Fighter Interviews, & our guest podcasts... don't panic – we will continue to produce all of this outstanding podcast content for you no matter what happens with Bloody Elbow moving forward – and we will let you know more in the days to come regarding all the places you can catch the shows for free, or opt to subscribe, as the case may be.

More About The MMA Vivisection, 6th Round Post-Fight Show & The MMA Depressed-us Podcasts...

The MMA Vivisection:
Hosted by Zane Simon, alongside co-host Connor Ruebusch. Zane and Connor have been recording the Vivi for nearly a decade week in and week out, as the UFC schedule demands. Zane is from Alaska, which explains a lot. Connor is from Ohio, which explains far too much.

The 6th Round Post-Fight Show:
Hosted by Zane Simon, alongside co-host Eddie Mercado. Our post-fight UFC show has been running since 2014, with no signs of stopping. Eddie has fought Muay Thai in Thailand, MMA in the USA, and sailed the seven seas. He's generally known to be good people.

The MMA Depressed-us:
Zane is back again, force feeding Connor Ruebusch and Phil Mackenzie the worst fights he can find, MST3k style. Phil is English, but you shouldn't hold that against him (we definitely hold that against him).
