Overview
Alexandre Herbinet is a French journalist who specializes in MMA. He hosted RMC Fighter Club, the MMA show on French network RMC Sport, before starting his own outlet, Jab Life. He describes himself as a specialist in MMA, boxing, basketball and freestyle skiing, with a taste for long form journalism.
Jab Life launched on April 25, 2025. Herbinet runs it with Aldric Cassata, a former pro fighter who is head coach at Boxing Squad in Nice. The outlet publishes on YouTube, where its shows and live streams live, and on Instagram. Everything is produced in French.
What you'll find
On Jab Life you get news and analysis shows built around MMA events, live streams partly broadcast from Boxing Squad in Nice, and Jab Culture, a format shot in Nice with Cassata. The pairing puts a journalist next to an active coach, so the coverage mixes reporting with technical detail.
During his Fighter Club years, Herbinet sat down with headliners. In September 2024 he interviewed Francis Ngannou for the show with analyst Baba Diagne. He also wrote “MMA 2024: L'année de tous les possibles”, a book about the 2024 MMA season. On X and Instagram he posts his reactions and his latest work.
Why follow
Herbinet is one of the journalists who brought MMA to French TV at the time the sport was going mainstream in France. With Jab Life he continues that work on an independent platform, with more room for long formats and breakdowns.
Following Jab Life gives you steady French language coverage of MMA news, with Cassata's technical expertise on top. It is a good way to track the French fighters on UFC and PFL cards through the eyes of reporters who know the local scene. His book adds a full season view of 2024 if you want context on recent fights.
MMA Official's take
This is for fans who understand French and want MMA journalism with some perspective, especially on French fighters. Start with the Jab Life YouTube channel and an episode of Jab Culture to see Herbinet and Cassata work together. If you want the big picture on one season, pick up “MMA 2024: L'année de tous les possibles” next.
