Holiday Special with Mookie Alexander | The Level Change Podcast - 215 (Tu Edition)

More time off for the #UFC means more time on for the MMA Depressed-us. Each year, when the world’s largest #MMA promotion takes a little time away from their breakneck schedule for the holidays, we like to take a little break from our own schedule of watching the best of the worst fights we can find.

Instead, we like to take this time to remember that there’s so much more to life than just bagging on bad fights. There are lots of bad movies starring fighters that we can make fun of too.

Few men have provided more joy in that arena than a former multiple-time UFC champion and MMA legend: Randy 'The Natural' Couture. Starting his film career out with respectable projects like 'Redbelt' and 'The Expendables' Franchise, #Couture has quickly made the seemingly fulltime move to direct-to-video, Z-level action movies. We’ve pulled up one of his latest gems, 'Antidote'(2018), co-starring (occasionally featuring) his wife, Mindy Robinson, and with a whole heaping portion of Chuck Zito on the side.

If you're on the fence on this one, check out the 2:08 trailer here: https://youtu.be/7QlfPLklyyQ and read the movie synopsis which is as follows:

Dispatched to a village plagued by a deadly disease, an altruistic doctor, Anna (Natali Yura) and her fiancé, Manuel (Rafael de la Fuente) work tirelessly to relieve the suffering of the villagers. They soon come to learn that the villagers believe the 'White Witch' brought the deadly disease. To save themselves and the village, Anna and Manuel are forced to team up with Victor (Randy Couture, THE EXPENDABLES 3) a cocky treasure hunter, who only wants to find the 'Lost City of Gold'. The trio realize that the White Witch and the Golden City are viciously interconnected and that they must join forces to uncover the Mayan legend of the White Witch to have any hope of surviving.  Also starring Chuck Zito, Wil Travel (“Jessica Jones”) and Mindy Robinson (aka: Mrs. Randy Couture).

Tate Arrested, Gervonta Arrested, Cerrone on Steroids | The Level Change Podcast - 216 (Fri Edition)

The final week of the holiday UFC hiatus is upon us. Which means one more episode of the MMA Depressed-us before the world’s largest MMA promotion launches back into their breakneck schedule. This time around, we’re taking a look at some of the many high profile cases of former teammates and training partners facing off inside the Octagon.

Our journey starts with one of the most legendary training partner beefs in UFC history, all the way back at UFC 145 in 2012, when recently crowned champion Jon Jones made the third defense of his light heavyweight title against former former champion and Jackson-Wink standout Rashad Evans. We then jump ahead to 2014 and a heavyweight bout between Brendan Schaub and Travis Browne at UFC 181. Before wrapping up with the most recent heavyweight title fight between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane at UFC 270.

As is usual, we’re watching all three bouts on UFC Fight Pass. For those that want to watch along with us, press play on each video when Zane says “Go.” For those watching the fights via another resource, Connor will try to announce the beginning of round 1 so that videos can be synced up there.

Dana Slaps Wife, Baroni Murder Arrest, Paul & PFL | The Level Change Podcast – 217 (Fri Edition)

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on the first UFC event of the year. This is a 12-bout UFC Vegas 67: 'Strickland vs Imavov' Fight Night event we are covering for you, today, Jan. 12th. 2023.

"I’m not necessarily sure that the main event of UFC Vegas 67 got better with Sean Strickland’s late entry into the headlining bout against Nassourdine Imavov, but it certainly creates more questions about just what kind of fight fans are going to see. With the fight up at 205, will Strickland be fit for 5 rounds? Will Imavov be helped by not having to cut? Can Strickland still make this a pace fight? The rest of the card is fine, if not terribly notable—although Raoni Barcelos vs. Umar Nurmagomedov should be a thriller..." - Zane Simon 1.12.23

For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi every Thursday, right here on our SC channel.

The MMA Vivisection is brought to you by ‘The Fine Art of Violence’, a collection of art and essays recapping the year in MMA by Chris Rini, featuring the most talented artists and writers in Mixed Martial Arts. The book is available in both hard copy and digital formats at chrisrini.com.

Here’s a look at the UFC Vegas 67 main card as it stood at the time of recording:

Unpacking Options of Francis Ngannou & Nate Diaz | Hey Not the Face! – 09

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, February 2nd, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW; breaking down a set of 5 bouts on the UFC Vegas 68 Fight Night card. 'Lewis vs Spivac' is a 12-bout event, featuring the four tourney finales from Season 2 of 'Road to UFC' at the top of the Prelims. 

"Another short break in the UFC schedule has ended, and as a reward for our patience the world’s largest MMA promotion is giving fans a card they are sure to forget. The heavyweight main event between Serghei Spivac and Derrick Lewis could be over in 2 minutes, or could be a 25 minute slog. After that, the main card is pretty much banking on excitement for Doo Ho Choi’s first fight in over three years.

As a side note, however, for fans looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves VOX network of sites, we now officially have a Vivisection/6th Round Patreon. Both shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to the MMA Depressed-us from here on out." - Zane Simon 2.04.23

UFC Vegas 68: Lewis vs Spivac | 6th Round Post-Fight Show

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, February 9th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW; breaking down a set of 5 bouts on the UFC 284 PPV card. 'Makhachev vs Volkanovski' & 'Rodriguez vs Emmett' is a 13-bout event, featuring two title fights headlining the PPV card... 

"The UFC is back on PPV this week with an amazing headliner fight for a card that otherwise doesn’t feel much like a PPV. The co-main, between Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett is great, and Jack Della Maddalena vs. Randy Brown looks like a thriller, but after that, it’s pure Fight Night undercard filler.

For listeners looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, we now officially have a 'Vivisection/6th Round' Patreon. Both shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to 'The MMA Depressed-us Podcast' from here on out." - Zane Simon 2.09.23

UFC Vegas 69 Reactions & UFC Vegas 70 Picks | Care/Don't Care Podcast

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, February 23rd, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW; breaking down a set of 6 bouts on the UFC Vegas 70 Fight Night card. 'Krylov vs Spann' is a 13-bout event... 

"It’s been a bad year for the UFC when a headlining fight between Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann looks like a pleasant upgrade from recent Fight Night offerings. Coupled with a middleweight bout between Andre Muniz & Brendan Allen, and alongside a women’s flyweight bout between Tatiana Suarez & Montana De La Rosa, however, UFC Vegas 70 is at the very least a reasonably solid card....

Both event week shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward.

UFC 285 Reactions & UFC Vegas 71 Picks | Care/Don't Care Podcast

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, March 9th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW; breaking down a set of 6 bouts on the massive action-packed UFC Vegas 71 Fight Night card. 'Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili' is a 14-bout event...

"It’s always nice to see the UFC follow strength with strength. The world’s largest MMA promotion is coming off a huge PPV last week, with UFC 285, and now they’re right back at it with a top class ‘Fight Night’ event. In the headliner, former champion Petr Yan takes on top contender Merab Dvalishvili. They’re accompanied by a top ranked heavyweight bout between Alexander Volkov and Alexander Romanov, alongside what was meant to be the headliner from two weeks ago—a light heavyweight tilt between Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann. Should be a blast.

For listeners looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, we now officially have a 'Vivisection/6th Round/MMA Depressed-us' Patreon. Both event week shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to our non-event week show, 'The MMA Depressed-us Podcast', from here on out." - Zane Simon 3.09.23

UFC Vegas 71: ‘Yan vs Dvalishvili’ | 6th Round Post-Fight Show

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, March 16th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW; breaking down a set of 5 bouts on the massive action-packed UFC 286 PPV card. 'Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3' is a 15-bout event...

"After the recent UFC 285 PPV extravaganza, UFC 286 looks just a little tiny bit shabbier by comparison. The main event between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards is great, as is the co-main between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev. After that, it’s a fine event of solid bookings, just lacking that tiny bit of extra edge, perhaps. Still, expectations should be high that fans will get a great night of fights.

For listeners looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, we now officially have a 'Vivisection/6th Round/MMA Depressed-us' Patreon. Both event week shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward.
