Rory’s List of MMA Podcasts that Fans Need to Listen To:
MMA fans are about as die-hard as it comes in regards to supporting their product. Whether it’s a PPV event or local show, the social media community explodes. They’re so loyal, that they even support the individual disciplines that create the foundation of MMA. Not only do fight fans love watching actual cards, they also love to consume all MMA content such as MMA podcasts.
So it’s no surprise when MMA enthusiasts hop on Twitter to find out what other ways they can cure their addiction. Of course, prominent media members have developed social platforms that keep the cycle of news reoccurring and fresh. Shows like Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, Luke Thomas’s live chat, Brendan Schaub’s Food Truck Diaries, and the Joe Rogan Experience provide countless hours of MMA entertainment when the cards aren’t on the television.
Podcasts are another platform that has been gaining popularity within the community. With an abundance to choose from, it’s very easy to find new MMA content 7 days a week. MMA Podcast creators make their own schedules. Which means a show could drop each and every day of the week.
Some shows are heavily guest based which allows for intimate conversations with fan’s favorite fighters. Others are opinion-based and feature a growing interactive community. Whatever your style of consumption, I’ve put together a list of the best MMA podcasts you can find.
However, this list will not be in any particular order. Due to subjectivity, there’s a show out there for everyone. I’m simply bringing awareness to shows that fans could end up falling in love with. Subsequently, don’t expect to see a list full of prominent figures in media. There will be some, but this platform will allow independent creators to shine as well.
With that being said, let’s get started.
The MMA Nerd Podcast

The MMA Nerd Podcast is hosted by none other than Ashley, the MMA Nerd.

Well, Actually…
Host: Fernanda Prates
It’s my article, so prepare for my bias. (Yeah, I said it.) Simply put, this is my absolute favorite of all MMA podcasts on this list.
Fernanda truly has a way of bringing some of MMA’s current issues to light. And, she does it in the most well thought out, articulate way possible. Class is truly in session as Fernanda tackles day to day headlines that touch on topics that most journalists would be afraid to mention. She also gives her unfiltered opinions on whatever she sees circulate on the Twitter timeline.
Very few journalists have the ability to conqueror pressing issues in a playful tone that is digestible to any kind of listener. Also, if you’re a troll… expect to be put in your place quickly. And, for men that believe they have the answer for everything, expect to be knocked off your high horse.
Its education, entertainment, and fearless journalism all wrapped into one show.

If anyone follows the hosts of Whoacast on social media, you know you’re in for quite the ride. Mike and G bring fans the most opinionated, unfiltered, raw hot takes that MMA has to offer.
The best part about Whoacast? The show doesn’t end when the episode runs out. G brings her controversial takes to Twitter and engages with virtually every member of the community that they’ve built.
