The MMA Vivisection & 6th Round Podcasts

UFC Vegas 110 looked promising on paper, with solid alternative stats and suitable matchmaking. It wasn’t gonna set the world on fire, but it was decent enough. Fast forward to the event in actuality and you get a mixed bag with a possible fixed fight, another eye poke and follow-up questionable reffing to put the sour cherry on top of the sawdust cake. But Sedriques Dumas got beat up and that almost tips the scales back to good. And we also were rewarded with a lot of submissions, so the night wasn’t exactly terrible. Now, let’s check out the rest of the results and bonuses while we’re here. MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com It’s been ages since we got a card at the Apex that had more than a single ranked fight on it, but this week, we’ve got one with three. That has to be a milestone, right? And get this, they’ve split them up so that we at least get one of them on the undercard. Are we looking at a new era being formed? Doubtful, but I am all about giving credit where it’…

To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com It’s time for the monthly pay-per-view and UFC 321 should be a good one, considering they’ve packed it with 14 fights, two of which have titles on the line. Did Mackenzie Dern find out her fight was for a belt via social media? Yes, she did, but that’s just how the UFC does things these days. The other champion bout is Tom Aspinall’s first defense of hi…

UFC Vancouver saw the favorites winning for the most part in a fairly decent night of fights, considering how dismal it looked on paper. That said, the biggest surprise was Reinier de Ridder’s cardio absolutely shitting the bed, to the point where he was dominated from rounds 2-4 and ended up having his corner not send him out for round 5. Brendan Allen put a whooping on him. Drew Dober turned his fortunes around when he finished Kyle Prepolec, and Aoriqileng smoked Cody Gibson in 21 seconds. Manon Fiorot and Charles Jourdain also notched finishes in their respective fights. The worst part of the entire show was when Dan Miragliotta’s awful refereeing nearly ended up costing Kyle Nelson a TKO. Send that man back to school!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com Well, we are looking at another horrendous card with stats so bad, even the most staunch UFC advocate couldn’t possibly defend it. The main event is okay, I guess, but Allen is just one fight removed from being on a two-fight skid. Manon Fiorot vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius is a legitimately great matchup, but the only other ranked fight is Vera vs. Zahabi. …

UFC 320 was terrific on paper and delivered great moments in preactice. Alex Pereira reclaimed his belt in under two minutes. He charged Ankalaev and scored the TKO lightning fast. Merab Dvalishvili almost knocked out Cory Sandhagen, then let him recover enough to take a round off him. He would end up victorious, proving that he’s likely the best bantamweight the UFC has ever seen. Jiri Prochazka fought like a kid practicing his Kung Fu Theater moves and ended up taking a beating through two rounds. Finally, when Rountree had gassed, Jiri turned up the weird energy and ended up getting the TKO in the third, leaving Khalil a bloody mess.

The alternative stats are terrific, the fights look exciting, and matchmaking is sensible.

The stats were awful, but more importantly, the matmaking was too.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com The stats are speaking volumes of UFC Perth this week. A sprawling, 14-bout card only has a single ranked fight gracing its lineup and only three ranked fighters in total. When you factor in how much the Aussies are likely paying in site fees—let’s just say I’d be asking for a steep discount. The main event looks like it will be a fun, action fight and …

UFC Noche didn’t have the star quality it should have for a card of the magnitude a “Noche” event is supposed to but it did deliver action in some of the fights. From the opening bout, we were treated to an electrifying TKO from Daniil Donchenko, and another from Alden Coria. For comic relief, we were treated to Dominick Cruz thinking Alice Periera was actually Aline Pereira, and we didn’t have to watch an entire Sedriques Dumas bout since that one ended in a NC thanks to an accidental low blow. Dusko Todorovic finally got the slump-breaker he desperately needed when he finished Jose Medina and Tatiana Suarez scored a unanimous decision over Amanda Lemos. Quang Le got starched and Alex Hernandez beat Diego Ferreira within an inch of his life thanks to a referee that clearly liked live action snuff films. Kelvin Gastelum won a fairly comfortable decision over Dustin Stolzfus and can now go back to the buffet with his crazy hot wife. Rafa Garcia stopped Jared Gordon in the third, and Rob Font got outworked by David Martinez who took the win via unanimous decision. Finally, the last Fighting Nerd with an undefeated UFC record got starched with a spinning back kick dealt by Diego Lopes, thus sealing the fate of the once undefeated team (inside the octagon). I feel like Zane’s early precognition about this team was spot on. Vindication! Now, let’s check out the rest of the results and bonuses while we’re here.

This year’s Noche event had its “PPV” moniker removed thanks to Canelo-Crawford taking center stage with TKO’s best efforts at promotion and the event’s lineup absolutely show it.

UFC 319 had some great moments leading up to the main event with several highlight reel finishes. Anthony Hernandez putting a surprise whooping on Chase Hooper, Joseph Morales making his second stint in the UFC count in a big way, Oleksiejczuk and Susurkaev both getting the job done inside the distance, as well. The prelims were definitely to be celebrated. When we got to the main card, we were on a nice little adrenaline high, and here comes Tim Elliott taking out Kai Asakura like the stealthy spoiler he is. What are we to do with Kai after this? Carlos Prates put the nicotine beating on Geoff Neal and Lerone Murphy sent the angels out with their bugles for poor Aaron Pico. And then there was the ugliest main event to ever exist. Was Chimaev dominant? Yes he was. Did he even try to press further for a finish? No he did not. Was Dricus fighting like he was just pulled from the 7-Eleven? Yes he was. Am I excited by the prospect of Khamzat dominating the division? Hell no, but here we are with a stinker of a main event and a new champ that looks like he’s afraid to do a single thing outside his comfortable wheelhouse.
