| 10/15/26 |  UFC Edmonton Main Card Vivi: Lowering the Barriault | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Edmonton is almost as bad as last week’s card. Hell, maybe it is just as bad, but since there are two ranked fights and the bigges losing skid is three fights, I guess I should cut them some slack. The dearth of recognizable talent is indicative of where the UFC’s promotional ability is these days, which is to say barely existent. I do love the co-m… | 1h 22m 18s | ||||||
| 10/8/26 |  UFC Vegas 122 Main Card Vivi: Duncan Deez Nuts | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Vegas 122 is a miserable card. It’s filled with lateral movement, losing records and athletes that shouldn’t even be in the promotion. This is the truest form of Apex slop, and it’s shameful that this is the state of the promotion that commands billions. The single ranked fight isn’t even the best one on the card. What a miserable state this sport i… | 1h 06m 03s | ||||||
| 10/1/26 |  UFC 332 Main Card Vivi: Wanky Kong | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC 332 is a card slapped together with what looks like zero regard for traditional numbered event standards. This one looks like it would be right at home in Salt Lake City, but billed as a Fight Night. Now I’m sure the action will find its way to our screens, but the bar is pretty low, to say the least. The main card is fairly fun and intriguing but t… | 1h 27m 26s | ||||||
| 9/24/26 |  UFC Vegas 121 Main Card Vivi: The Sub-Ultimate Fighter | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Vegas 121 is exactly what you’d expect of an Apex card. Not much in the way of name value, ridiculous card order and some miserable stats. This is supposed to be a TUF finale card, so I understand the dearth of ranked talent, but once upon a time, TUF finales were well matched, thoughtful events that felt like impactful, important events. Those were… | 1h 22m 46s | ||||||
| 9/17/26 |  UFC 331 Main Card Vivi: Catering Van | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC 331 is minimum effort card slapped together by the matchmakers. It does have three ranked fights but all ranked fights are not created equal. Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja sits atop the main card, our lone title bout. It should be a good, action-packed fight that will determine if Van has what it takes to hang on to his belt now that Pantoja has … | 1h 21m 16s | ||||||
| 9/10/26 |  Noche UFC Main Card Vivi: O! Lord | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in Glendale, Arizona this weekend with a pretty decent Fight Night event. “Fight Night”, you ask? Well, if a Noche event is not in Mexico, is it really a Noche event? I’ll leave you to ponder that one. The bouts, at least on the main card, are pretty dang good. Fiorot vs. Grasso and McMillen vs. Rahiki are certified fresh matchmaking, imho an… | 1h 35m 50s | ||||||
| 9/3/26 |  UFC Paris Main Card Vivi: Le combat de la prostituée | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in Paris this weekend with a card that has no ranked fights and just three ranked fighters. Considering the card is in the City of Light and the local government likely paid a small fortune in site fees, this is kind of nasty work by the promotion. I do like the debut of Parnasse being the main event, and there are some fun fights, but they s… | 1h 35m 43s | ||||||
| 8/27/26 | ![UFC Shanghai Main Card Vivi: [Redacted] Dragon episode artwork](https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/1474930/post/212934447/ffb287a89d6ac72d06e73460904577ca.jpg){kind=small} UFC Shanghai Main Card Vivi: [Redacted] Dragon | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in China this weekend with a card that actually looks pretty good. There’s interesting matchmaking, fairly good stats, and some lightweight name power. Fans in China should thoroughly enjoy what the promotion is bringing to them on Saturday. Aorqileng vs. Kai Asakura is low key fire, in my humble opinion. Now, let’s take a look at all the fig… | 1h 33m 02s | ||||||
| 8/20/26 |  UFC Sacramento Main Card Vivi: Judicious | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in Sacramento this weekend with a card that’s light on ranked fights and fighters, but heavy on Contender Series alumni. The solo ranked contest is an interesting one, featuring Gregory Rodrigues taking on Anthony Hernandez, fresh off his loss to Sean Strickland. Hernandez ended up going out to Las Vegas to train with Strickland after that fi… | 1h 05m 41s | ||||||
| 8/6/26 |  UFC Vegas 120 Vivi: Damage Done | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is back on their home turf at the Meta Apex, so you know what that means—a whole lotta meaningless and/or bad match-ups. The main event is somewhat intriguing but nothing to write home about, and the co-main is a sad state of affairs. Aside from the main event, we have but one other ranked fight, a decent women’s booking between a rising star an… | 1h 15m 26s | ||||||

| 7/30/26 |  UFC Serbia Vivi: Not a Real Doctor | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is once again surprising us with their location. This week, they’re in Belgrade, Serbia. And once again, we ponder why it wasn’t set for another location. But according to reports, a site fee was involved, so there you go. The card is a whole lotta WTF and very little substance, but as we’ve often seen with events like this, they can deliver a l… | 1h 17m 57s | ||||||
| 7/24/26 |  UFC Abu Dhabi Vivi: Just Deserts | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is surprisingly in Abu Dhabi this weekend. Given the situation in that region of the world, one would think that locale would be postponed, but not for this promotion. No siree, Bob! The event is chock full of fresh faces, as well as some old-timers, and of course, we get the prerequisite duo of heavyweight bouts for the lovers of girth and jigg… | 1h 00m 03s | ||||||
| 7/16/26 |  UFC OKC Vivi: Stillsucks? | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in Oklahoma City this weekend, and the official hashtag for the event was #UFCOCK, initially. It took the social media crew at the premier MMA organization a couple hours to get their hilarious blunder managed, but they got the job done. It isn’t the best looking card, especially for an on-the-road event. That said, it’s not the worst one we’… | 1h 12m 50s | ||||||
| 7/9/26 |  UFC 329 Vivi: Notorious DOA | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is on home turf in Las Vegas this weekend for their 329th numbered event. The T-Mobile Arena is host to the Conor McGregor-Max Holloway main event and the very good card that supports it. The matchmakers definitely put some effort into the main card, for sure. The co-main event is such a banger—all of them are, really—but the violent delights th… | 1h 35m 49s | ||||||
| 6/25/26 |  UFC Baku Vivi: Ataboy | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in Baku, Azerbaijan this week and they’ve put together a solid card. There’s plenty of great matchmaking, as well as some showcasing of new talent. The main event is a great one, as are most of the featured attractions. Absolutely love the Charles Johnson-Asu Almabaev fight, too. Also, you’re welcome for the musical renderings from Connor. No… | 1h 15m 44s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 |  UFC Vegas 119 Vivi: Kape Fear | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend, and again this month we are treated to a semi-solid card. Is it gonna set the world on fire? Probably not, but it’s well-matched and features some good up-and-coming talent. The headliner looks like an absolute banger, and makes the event worth watching. Now, let’s take a look at all the fights from the main ca… | 1h 30m 04s | ||||||
| 6/15/26 |  UFC Freedom 250 6th Round: Unsquashable | UFC Freedom 250 was every bit the spectacle it was made out to be. It had everything from fireworks to Tyson Fury getting his own special walkout. Why, you ask—who knows, but it was a thing that happened. All the brass showed up including Hunter Campbell, Nick Khan and Ari Emanuel. The crowd on the Ellipse was massive, and the crowd sitting cageside consisted of military members and first responders decked out in their uniforms. The orchestra sounded amazing and the music was as all-American as apple pie. Even when this very MAGA outfit played YMCA—one of the most recognizable gay anthems ever. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they think they’ve claimed it for themselves.The card opened with Diego Lopes absolutely destroying Steve Garcia. The first round was a bit tentative, but the second was where all the action went down. Lopes would stop Garcia with a barrage of punches that put his lights out. That was followed by Bo Nickal stopping Kyle Daukaus in the first with a nice TKO.Michael Chandler never stood a chance against Maurio Ruffy. Ruffy was patient as Chandler evaded him, taking forever to get close enough to engage, but when it finally happened, Ruffy punished him with spinning head kicks and hammering punches. Finally, mercifully, Mauricio finished him off toward the end of the round via TKO. Michael Chandler is truly washed.Josh Hokit might be a gross character with absolutely no vocal talent, but he had the exact recipe to dispatch Derrick Lewis. He punished Lewis on the feet, who was completely exhausted before the first round was over. Hokit would finish him in the second via TKO, likely increasing his UFC stock in the process.Sean O’Malley was dominant with his striking all the way through his fight with Aiemann Zahabi. Zahabi used a leg kick assault, that wasn’t as effective as he’d hoped. Sean found his moment with a big left, followed it up with a giant right then saluted the crowd as Zahabi fell back. The Petr Yan callout happened, as expected, and you have to believe that fight will happen sometime this year.Cyril Gane took some hard low kicks and one or two big punches over the course of the first round against Poatan. The second round, however, was an entirely different story, as he tuned up Alex Pereira, mauling him with big strikes, knocking him down and raining ground and pound like a man possessed. Herb dean would let it go on though, and over the course of the next 45 seconds, Gane beat Alex as if he stole his lunch money on the playground. The end was inevitable and it came via TKO. Poatan is a 205er.Justin Gaethje was a huge underdog going in, so it is a fitting end that he walks away tonight with the undisputed belt. The fight was back and forth, with Topuria almost finishing Justin in the second, and Gaethje wrecking Ilia in the third. Topuria’s face was a red mask of destruction. The doctor’s came in before the fourth, almost stopping the fight but Marc Goddard had the physicians reassess and they let it move forward. Topuria fought a good fourth round, but his team threw in the towel before the fifth and Justin Gaethje was crowned the new lightweight king.Now that we’ve reviewed the highlights, let’s check out the results and bonuses while we’re here.MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

| 6/11/26 |  UFC Freedom 250 Vivi: White House Downer | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is headed to the White House. I never, in a million years, would’ve seen myself typing that sentence, but here we are. The card is a weird one with a title on the line taking the main event spot. The co-main will see who shakes out as the new interim heavyweight champ, and a fight between Mauricio Ruffy and Michael Chandler that will likely turn… | 1h 45m 57s | ||||||

To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend, and it is a surprisingly decent card. I wouldn’t go so far to call it great, but it’s got the bones of what an Apex card should have—solid veteran action with a dash of good matchmaking and a pinch of possible upward mobility. The stats are okay if you can get past a 12-bout card having only one ranked fight, a… | 1h 18m 26s | ||||||
| 5/28/26 |  UFC Macao Main Card Vivi: Swan Song | This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is in Macau (or is it Macao?) this weekend, and it is a borderline terrible card. Not only do the on-paper stats look a mess, the matchups, themselves, also look quite weak. Plenty of squash matches pepper the event throughout, but it’s in heavy abundance on the main card. Macau deserves better. Now, let’s take a look at all the fights from the … | 1h 06m 13s | ||||||

To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is back in Vegas this weekend, and of course, that means they’re in the Apex. And let me tell you, this absolutely looks like an Apex card, albeit a decent enough one, considering. The main event is a banger and there are a few fights sprinkled throughout that have our attention, but overall, aside from the two ranked fights, we’re seeing lots o… | 58m 44s | ||||||

To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is back on the road, this time to New Jersey, where fans are never rude or disrespectful. Never ever…right? All kidding aside, this card, especially the main portion is top notch. There are four ranked bouts, with two titles on the line, and it just feels like a card worthy of being a numbered event. That Van-Taira fight is going to be so good, … | 1h 11m 12s | ||||||

The main card isn’t half bad with a great main event and some solid offerings leading up to it. Of course, it’s always a good day when Marwan Rahiki fights, so there’s that to look forward to. Can’t say the Tuivasa vs. Sutherland is one we’ll be anxiously awaiting, but ov… | 1h 25m 39s | ||||||

Where normally I would sling all sorts of insults at the talent level of the card, this week, I’m going to try to focus on the positives. Like the main and co-main events both being ranked fights. Like the fact that only nine fighters are coming off losses. And like the fact that … | 1h 14m 39s | ||||||

Sure, they get some local favorites on the card, but not only is star power lacking, ranked fights and quality are, as well.
