PODCAST

Each week, Danielle — the MMA fan and amateur grappler — brings an MMA fight to the table to discuss, and LB —the pro wrestling expert — brings a show-stopping match. Think of it as a beautiful exchange between fans of two violent, beautiful art forms. Or the Predator handshake meme, made hilariously literal.

FanFyte ·

2020/03/20

This week, we have two action-packed events: WWE's Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair, a “green mist”-spewing, sliding and high-flying match from last November.

2020/03/18

We sure did start a sports podcast just as all sports were being cancelled, huh? To help us with that, today we welcomed a very special guest to the Sportsmiddle fold: The Athletic MMA reporter Fernanda Prates, who gave us a good dose of humor, on-the-ground reporting from UFC Brasilia, and the need to get creative with sports coverage in light of current events.

Then, Danielle brought LB a crimson-soaked MMA fight, Invicta FC’s incredible bantamweight championship fight from the weekend. Featuring innovative open scoring, strong “pro wrestling energy,” a cut that looks like an axe wound to the face, and very literal buckets of blood, this was a wild one. Learn more
