fight island

For the final installment of the 3-part Dana White series, Dana walks us through the many ups and downs of building the UFC, ending in the record setting $4B sale in 2016. In this episode, he touches on his upbringing and passion for the fight business- including the fortuitous path to partnering with the Fertitta brothers and how they almost chose to shut down the business early on. Furthermore, he discussed operating the business during Covid, his constant battle with the media and his insatiable appetite to win at all costs and silence the haters. And lastly, what's next for the UFC and what Dana is especially excited about in the fight business in the coming years.

With just two weeks to go until the absolutely-stacked UFC 280 pay-per-view card, Javier Mendez calls in from Abu Dhabi to join Matt and guest co-host Jens Pulver on today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered!

Javier peels back the curtain of what training camp with Islam Makhachev has been like, explaining why he believes Makhachev will reveal himself to be the UFC’s most well-rounded lightweight ever in his upcoming title shot against Charles Oliveira.

He later shares what it is about Khabib Nurmagomedov that’s allowed him to make a smooth transition from dominant champion to insightful MMA coach.

Matt and Jens wrap up the show with their thoughts on what to expect in the UFC’s first-ever quadrilogy when flyweights Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno meet in Brazil at UFC 283.

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by comedian/podcaster Akaash Singh and UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush.

Matt and Jim’s show-opening banter takes an even bigger comedic turn when Akaash Singh hops on the show. After Akaash explains why Israel Adesanya is his favorite fighter, the guys spark a dialogue on the humor it takes for men like themselves with below average height to lead women away from taller guys.

The comic closes out his appearance by sharing how Apu from The Simpsons earned a spot in the title of his comedy special and plugging the final dates of his comedy tour.

Finally, just two weeks away from ending a 17-month layoff, Beneil Dariush calls in fresh off a training session to talk about preparing for his UFC 280 fight with Mateusz Gamrot and where he believes he stands in the UFC’s lightweight title picture.

As the social media manager for UFC, Eric Yee was one of a handful who lived on UFC's Fight Island to stage fights amidst the pandemic.

Live from the #Storyteller Experience stage, Eric Yee, Social Media Manager for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) shares his best story about Fight Island (1:50), how he built the anticipation leading up to Fight Island on Social Media (4:10) the Facebook-only show, Quick Hits and how it's different (6:08). A full replay of the #Storyteller Experience can be found at >>

Angela gets her dad on the phone to talk about his father Barney Hill Jr and the most famous alien abduction case ever recorded. This is a long one folks so for the sake of completion there's minimal editing and interludes.
Barney Hill the 3rd discusses his early memories of his father and how life changed after the incident that occurred September 19th, 1961.
Heavy shit. Also we have a quick chat about the biggest card of the year so far: the memorable UFC 257.

For the first All Things MMA of 2021, and the first under the Scoreline.ie banner, we're heading to Abu Dhabi with a look at what's been happening during Fight Island and what's going to happen - potentially - at UFC 257 on Saturday night.

Reflecting on changes over the last few years, what happens beyond this weekend and where do we go with the lightweight division in the UFC?

As a casual fight fan who's only drawn to big-name events, what is it for Shane that keeps him hooked and what's made certain fighters household names when compared to the world of professional wrestling, football and beyond?

Do title fights really matter for Conor McGregor? Does money really matter, or is it all about legacy? What would a second fight with Khabib achieve or is the future simply in marquee fights until the love runs out?

There's plenty to chew on and more to read when you visit scoreline.ie.

On today’s episode, Kaleb came by to talk some UFC 257! 

We break down the recent UFC events and the upcoming Conor McGregor v Dustin Porier round 2 fight.

Hope yall enjoy, make sure to follow the podcast on Instagram and Like us on Facebook!

We have a wee discussion about some intriguing upcoming fights in 2021 and look out across the MMA-bereft landscape that is the next 3 weeks. 
Which gravelly-voiced celebrity will end up narrating the McGregor/Poirier 2 trailer that you will be made to watch on repeat with your eyes splayed open like that scene in a clockwork orange? 
All that and more!

We do a quick recap of a tumultuous year and what we've been doing for the last 6 months. Then we look forward to the year ahead, clasping our soon-to-be-defunct Reebok fight kits in our sweaty palms as the mushroom cloud on the horizon burns itself into our melting retinas. Additionally we discuss the joy and terror of new-homeownership, the last UFC fight card of the year and seasonal cocktail recipes to make with that bottle of Proper #12 your Auntie gave you for Christmas because she knows you like that "Irish boxer man."

On this episode of Slip The Jab, Raphael dos Anjos defeats Paul Felder in a one sided victory, but somehow judge Lee scored the fight 48-47 in favor of Felder? We try to figure exactly how he got there and recap the rest of the highs and lows of UFC Vegas 14. We discuss ESPN's Fight Island Declassified documentary series, as well as the issues with weight cutting. We also give our Slip Picks and Ianalysis for UFC 255 ( Deiveson Figueiredo vs Alex Perez) and debate exactly what makes Amanda Nunes the GOAT instead of Valentina Shevchenko? The cancel crusaders have come for Gina Carano's head and the guys explain why it's not worth the trouble to try and broker piece in this day an age. On last weeks episode we let listeners know which UFC fighters make the best horror movie villains and the listeners responded back on twitter by saying, okay, not bad, but what about comic book characters? Being that we don’t back down from a challenge, we give our MMA comic book character list, answer fan questions from the Slipster Syndicate, and end with a bon voyage post fight song of the week.

It was supposed to be the biggest test of Israel Adesanya's UFC career - instead - it was one of the biggest mismatches in UFC middleweight title fight history.

Brazilian powerhouse Paulo Costa was erased by The Last Stylebender on UFC's Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, in a flawless performance of precision, skill and elite-level striking.

On this episode of Fight Club, NZ Herald's Christopher Reive joins the show to discuss a career-defining performance for the Nigerian-Kiwi.

Plus, Dan 'The Hangman' Hooker on how he saw the afternoon unfold with four of his City Kickboxing teammates in action.
