The MMA Mad Podcast (Sports)

This week, I took a trip down to West Haven, CT to meet up with Nick Newell on the Monday before his highly-anticipated return to the cage. We were joined by Justin Sumter on the mic and about 20 of his students watching along... MMA Mad's first live performance (maybe?). Nick fights in the main event of LFA 35 this Friday, March 9th and you can catch the action on AXS TV.

We were treated to a brand new Outside The Bubble with my roommate Monica, who breaks down Rose vs. Joanna and Khabib vs. Tony. We also watched the new Gunnar Nelson "Beat It" music video. Monica thinks a summer country song should be next for the Icelandic gym.

Finally, as a favor to Monica for talking soooo much MMA with me, we did a full Bachelor recap in the outro. Feel free to shut it off after the Nick Newell interview. Also feel free to listen to it and pretend like you didn't.

This episode was a lot of fun to put together.

Enjoy!!

This week, we welcomed back one of our favorites in Robbie Fox. He's exploded in popularity since we first spoke, carving out his niche at Barstool and working his ass off to get to the top. Very talented in multiple different lanes, Robbie is always a great guest. Sirius XM show coming in the near future, without question.

This week, we got into Rough N Rowdy, Podcasting, Barstool's latest drama and MMA's latest headlines. Enjoy!!

Podcast favorite Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson returned to the show for his best interview yet. We went over an hour completely off the cuff, getting into podcasting, MMA and life. These are the type of interviews I dreamed about when I started doing this show, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did. Huge thanks to the legend.

I've done many a Disorderly Podcast with Damon Martin but never had him on MMA Mad. Well that simply had to change. A veteran MMA reporter for over a decade, Damon writes for UFC.com and runs NerdcoreMovement.com. We dive into his long history covering MMA, his reason for starting an entertainment site on the side, and plenty of headlines from around the world of combat sports. This was a fun one, enjoy!

A little New England celebration to follow up on an amazing UFC 220 in Boston. Dinis "Sweetbread" Paiva sandwiches (get it?) an interview with Calvin Kattar.

Kattar scored a huge knockout for his second consecutive UFC win, this time in front of the hometown TD Garden crowd. Sweetbread is readying himself for a CES fight on the Friday of Super Bowl weekend. Lots happening in the Northeast right now. Happy to be a small part of it.

Enjoy!!

Apologies for the late release, but this one was a great one!

James Lynch is one of my closest friends in this business and truly one of the best people I know. We always have great conversations, but this was a true marathon of topics. Podcasting, comedy, MMA (obviously)... we riff on it all. 

Seriously, I stand by the quality of all my episodes (at least recently haha) but this one stands out.

Rate, review, subscribe and most importantly...

Enjoy!!
