Our Editor's Take

MMA Fighting is a podcast that offers commentary about fighters and their promotions. Millions of fans worldwide watch promotions like UFC and Bellator. The landscape of MMA changes fast, so fans who want quick updates might find a lot of valuable information here.

The host of this podcast is Mike Heck. He began his career in radio in Massachusetts in 2014. In January 2019, he began working for MyMMANews, where he started interviewing fighters. This valuable experience transitioned into reporting on the sport full-time. Since March 2020, Heck has been an on-air commentator and producer for Vox Media. Long-time MMA fans are likely familiar with his work, as he has become a fixture on the combat sports circuit.

The podcast offers recaps of past UFC and Bellator fights. It also provides predictions for upcoming fight cards. Listeners might like taking in a pre-show episode, watching a fight, and then hearing the post-show episode to see if Heck was right.

An exciting aspect of this podcast is that it goes beyond simple fight analysis. The show has a passionate interest in the backstage machinations of promotions. They want to know why certain things happen and how they affect the business. The industry has undergone significant changes over several years. UFC merged with WWE. Bellator became part of the PFL. All of these changes left a lot of unanswered questions. Heck and his guests set out to answer these questions and help fans navigate where the sport is heading.

This channel also hosts several other MMA-related podcasts. These include such programs as Heck of a Morning, No Bets Barred, and Fighter vs. Writer. Heck hosts the first program and is a producer (and sometimes guest) on the other shows. New episodes of MMA Fighting come out every week.
