The MMA Depressed-Us Podcast

Another off-week from UFC, another great episode of our terrific trio suffering through horrendous fights so you don’t have to. They really do love us. This time around, we get a quartet of miserable contests from none other than our reigning middleweight champion. The king of looking gassed until he’s won is in four separate stinkers, and we’re here to…

Since this is an off-week for the UFC, you already know what that means—another hilarious episode of The MMA Depressed-us. With the retirements of both Andrei Arlovski and Michelle Waterson-Gomez, the boys figured this would be the perfect subject matter for today’s show. There’s no better way to kick off your 4th of July festivities than with a triple …

Road House was the Little Engine that Could back in 1989, when it became a cult classic. “Pain don’t hurt” became the motto of every wannabe macho man on the planet. And then it got rebooted. They replaced the perfectly cast Patrick Swayze with a too-quick-witted Jake Gyllenhaal and gave the role of the big bad to UFC superstar Conor McGregor and made a…

Phew! We haven’t had one of these in nearly three months. The UFC’s schedule has been absolutely insane, but now that we have this small break in their dismal Apex programming, we figured we’d bring you something to make you feel right at home. THREE MORE DISMAL FIGHTS! Because that’s exactly what you needed in your life.

We’re barely into the new year and UFC has already left us high and dry just two weeks after returning from a month-long drought. But lucky for you, our terrific trio are here to get you through this week with a re-watch of three godawful title fights. If the Apex were a thing back in the good old days, we’re certain this is where these three fights wou…

2023 was a pretty wild year. The very first day saw UFC president Dana White slap his wife on camera and that kind of set the tone for the rest of the year. One thing that never changes is the sport’s ability to provide some of the greatest fights, and alternately, some of the worst. That’s why we’re here, to provide you with an unbiased (or maybe compl…

Mojave Diamonds won’t be taking the awards season by storm, but it is an unintentional comedic gem. The acting is awful, the dialogue is ridiculous, the action is brawlic and the vibe is as cringe as one would imagine when met with a cast that features Chael Sonnen, Donald Cerrone and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua made his name in PRIDE and cemented it in the UFC with a style that was crowd-pleasing in both promotions. Fights with Rampage Jackson and Dan Henderson are what fans immediately call up to memory, but you could really go through his record and see a veritable cornucopia of names going as far back as 2003 when he faced Evangelista …

With no UFC until December 2nd, the boys are back with another depressing watch of three fights. The focal point of the show is foul play (fights with lots of fouls). Pretty ingenious considering we’re about to enter the foulest holiday of them all. We’ve even got a Faux Phil since real Phil was unavailable for recording. Let’s take a look at the fights…

Let’s face it, friends, UFC Vegas 82 is a miserable card, as most Apex events are. Zane Simon certainly picked the right week to go on vacation, so that he could be spared of this nothingburger of a card. But never fear, fans of sanctioned violence, the boys have a brand new episode of The MMA Depressed-us and it’s a hoot!
