UFC Vegas 107 Main Card Vivi: Real Fight Flavor

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/05/29

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Vegas 107 is not giving what it needs to give, stat-wise. A whopping 12 fighters are coming off losses—on a card that only has 11 fights. Fourteen of the athletes hail from the Contender Series. Could it provide a bunch of action? Sure. Will it matter to the advancement and growth of the competitors outside the two ranked bouts? All movement here is…

UFC Vegas 106 Main Card Vivi:

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/05/15

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Vegas 106, much like last weekend’s UFC 315, looks okay on paper. It’s got a couple ranked fights—which is amazing for an Apex card—as well as fairly low stats for fighters coming off losses. There is a downside because a lot of the fighters with losses have some problematic losing streaks. Gilbert Burns is on a three-fight skid and he’s sitting at …

UFC 315 Main Card Vivi: Bullet Time

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/05/08

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC 315 has great stats and two title fights, but the big PPV feel of it all is severely lacking. And if ticket sales are a true indicator, the Canadian fans aren’t feeling that big card vibe either. Or maybe they’re showing the UFC that they don’t appreciate the close affiliation with the Trump administration on the heels of POTUS trying to annex their…

UFC Des Moines Main Card Vivi: Remember the Sandman

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/05/01

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Des Moines is the ghost of Christmas past. They’ve gone and drafted Jeremy Stephens back into the comforting embrace of the octagon, fresh off his success at BKFC, but not very mindful of his MMA bouts outside the promotion where he went just 2-1 in the PFL. There are other picked-over, near-demise oldsters on the card, as well, but we’ll get to tho…

UFC Kansas City Main Card Vivi: Waking Nightmare

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/04/24

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Kansas City is what I like to call a good, old-fashioned mixed bag. It has a terrific main event and some fun matchups overall. So where’s the problem? That lies in the stats, and there’s one that’s really putting a wet blanket on the whole event: 15 fighters are coming off losses. If this were an Apex card, that would be an easier pill to swallow,…

2025/04/10

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC 314 is a terrific card, full stop. It’s got all the elements we hope for: ranked fights, plenty of ranked fighters, and we’re not overrun with fighters coming off losses or from the Contender Series. The bouts are matched well and are compelling, with plenty of room for advancement. The main card is quite top heavy, with a concentration of top tier …

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Vegas 105 happens to be another one of those cards that looks absolutely awful on paper, and while it may deliver some action, what sets it on a troubling path is the recycling of fighters coming off strings of losses. It’s one thing to have a dearth of ranked talent, but quite another to feature an athlete coming off four straight losses while faci…

UFC Mexico Main Card Vivi: The lost episode

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/03/28

UFC Mexico is so bad that it broke Connor’s internet. That’s right fam, Zane and Connor set out yesterday to record the main card episode but were unable to complete it due to an internet outage. We view this as a sign from the fight gods to abandon ship. There was about 16 minutes of uninterrupted content, so we decided to go ahead and host it, then give it away for free. Let’s take a look at the event’s main portion and the alternative stats:MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported

UFC Mexico Prelims Vivi: Somebody that I used to know

The MMA Vivisection Shows: "Main Card Preview" &... ·

2025/03/27

UFC Mexico is an ugly, ugly card. The alternative facts tell a very grim tale. But before you dive in and listen to our guys analyze these bouts, I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that you’re getting the prelims early and the main card late. There was a technical glitch, and to make a long story short, it didn’t get recorded. So, you’ll get that one tomorrow, but today, you get the prelims, and they’re FREE.Now, let’s take a look at the event’s preliminary bouts and the alternative

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUFC Vegas 104 has a deceptively decent alternative facts list, but don’t let that fool you. We have a more than healthy dose of Contender Series, TUF and Road to UFC alumni here—17 in total, or more than half the card. There’s just a single ranked fight on a card with 13 bouts total.

After last weekend’s Seattle event, it’s hard to look at this bout roster and think that it holds much promise, but lest we forget, for the 18 people that will watch this card, it will probably be gangbusters for them, thanks to being loyal enough to want to spend a Saturday night with a bunch of fighters …
