UFC Vegas 73 6th Round Post-Fight Show

This audio broadcast is a portion of the full show, which can be heard by becoming a paid subscriber to our Bloody Elbow Podcast Substack.

The Show Money crew is Paul Gift, “the economist”, Jason Cruz, “the lawyer”, and John Nash, “Bloody Elbow’s Financials Columnist”, who also happens to be the man who knows everyone and everything in MMA. They bring you the business side of MMA, in depth, in a way you won’t find anywhere else!

In episode 52, which was recorded on Friday, May 19; the issues discussed include — 

The Show Money Crew offering their thoughts on Francis Ngannou signing with PFL

Will the PFL recoup the investment it has made on Ngannou?

If Conor McGregor were fighting under Francis’ contract in the UFC, he would be making a lot more than he has been; he would be getting a much larger percentage of the event revenue

Francis is NOT the highest paid fighter even with the PFL deal, Conor is. However, if Conor was under the terms Francis just got, he would be making a ton more…

Ngannou will be getting the high end of seven figures; making this the best contract we have seen in a major promotion to date

It benefits PFL for Francis to set up a boxing match before starting with them in 2024

Will UFC leave their streaming deal with ESPN behind?

New update on the UFC Financials that were recently released

UFC is hitting peak everything, revenue, etcetera — yet fighter pay is reversed, down to 13%, which it the lowest percentage by combat sports industry standards

Francis Ngannou is the Muhammad Ali For Our Sport | MMA Tête-À-Tête — 08

Zane, Connor, and Phil are back to watch TORTUROUS MMA right by your side online!

Are you ready for some torturously bad fights, fellow MMA masochists? 

We have made some changes to the Bloody Elbow Podcast Network Production Schedule, and have decided for now, this will be our last 'non-event week' of podcast coverage. 

But don't panic... The MMA Depressed-us gang are safe. Because we plan to eventually bring you an MMA Depressed-us episode as often as once a month — as part of our regular rotation, not just when the UFC takes a break in their calendar!

For this episode, your triple threat team are watching three of the "best worst fights" out of the recent line up. Two of these three are by no definition the best of anything actually. But that is what we do, what torturous fights and terrible MMA movies just for your entertainment.

"We're giving you two stinkers and one instantly bad classic. A balanced diet — like a salad with no dressing and just a bucket of pork rinds, basically"... "Or like chomping on raw kale and following it up with the cooking grease from a burger." ~ Connor Ruebusch & Zane Simon

Bout One:
We start off this episode with a fight that made us all angry, because we all pretty much liked the fighter involved and thought she would give us some good fights. 'Karol Rosa vs Norma Dumont' from UFC Fight Night: Pavlovich vs. Blaydes, which occured on April 22nd., 2023. 

Bout Two:
To follow that up, we have the fight that this show was made for, 'Muhammad Usman vs. Junior Tafa', from that same Fight Night card, 'Pavlovich vs. Blaydes'. 

Bout Three:
We wrap up the episode with one of those fights you would think should have been exciting, but then it absolutely wasn't: 'Cody Garbrandt vs. Trevin Jones' from UFC 285. If you don't want to subject yourself to the fight, just pause your stream, and listen to the guys discuss Garbrandt's sideburn tattoos, Jones' back piece, Masvidal's latest ink, and more fun tidbits of MMA banter.

The MMA Depressed-us Podcast on the Bloody Elbow Podcast Substack Network is a 100% listener-financed broadcast. To receive emails when each new episode drops and support our work, consider becoming a paid subscriber. ~ Bloody Elbow Podcast Team

Where to watch:
As is not usually the case with the show, we're watching all bouts on ESPN+, instead of UFC Fight Pass. For those that wish to watch along with us, start each video at the beginning when Zane says, "3, 2, 1, go!" If you're watching these videos on another platform, Connor will try to announce the start the beginning of Round 1, so you can sync up with us from there.

In case you were not already aware, when it was determined it was time to bring the MMA Depressed-us back from Patreon, we put it behind the Substack paywall. For those of you who are currently free subscribers or listening to us on another podcast platform you will get about a ten minute glimpse into the hilarity of the show. For those of you listeners pledging your support to keep our Podcast Network alive and support our team, you will be treated to the entire 1:22:32 run time for this episode.

What fight was the Depressed-us made for? | MMA Depressed-us Ep. 76

Welcome to the 6th Round Retro Post-Fight Show. This is the show that digs into the archives and gives you a comprehensive review of classic MMA events that span as far back as UFC 1.

Join Eddie Mercado & Victor Rodriguez as they delve into the world of the Dream (a short-lived MMA Promotion) based out of Japan. We conducted a retroactive post-fight show for the inaugural ‘Dream 1: Lightweight Grand Prix 2008 1st Round’ event this week, straight out of the archives of yesteryear. So let’s take a trip back to Sat, Mar 15, 2008.

The guys will explore the inaugural MMA Promotions event, which featured the first seven tournament bouts, fought at 154 lbs (70 kg), along with a trio of open-weight fights – complete with results, analysis, and of course a few laughs. The event was broadcast LIVE across Japan on the TBS Television network, from the Saitama Super Arena, in Saitama, Japan. The event remarkably attracted a sellout crowd for its debut, with 19,120 viewers.

For those of you not in the know, the ‘Dream Grand Prix Tournament Series’ required all bouts be fought under their own ‘Dream Mixed Martial Arts Rules’, which amounted to a ten minute first round and a five minute second round, with the fights judged overall.

The evening’s main event showcased the 2007 ‘Hero’s Middleweight Champion’, J. Z. Calvancanti of Brazil throwing down with Japan’s own judoka, Shinya Aoki. “Hero’s” was another Japanese MMA Promotion at the time, affiliated with K-1. Hero’s was discontinued in order to create the new Dream franchise in collaboration with former PRIDE FC executives. And if you aren’t familiar with PRIDE - well, I don’t know what to tell you… you had best go down a google-search-rabbit-hole this weekend and learn about one of the most innovative and legendary promotions in the history of the sport.

Join us to rediscover all the action and discuss as we go along! Let’s check it out!

Have you loved this show? We always have. Sadly, this is the final round for the RETRO.  

Due to our Podcast Network now being 100% listener-financed, we’ve been forced to make some changes to our Broadcast Schedule recently. We crunched the numbers, looked at the ratings, listened to feedback and just had no choice but to let some shows go, at least for now. 

In addition to letting some shows go, we also made the decision to cease production of “non-UFC-event week podcast content”…. the RETRO falls into that category, and we are all sad to see it retired.
