Overview

Submission Radio bills itself as Australia's leading MMA show. It is produced in Melbourne and hosted by Denis Shkuratov. Its YouTube channel opened in April 2014 and had about 243,000 subscribers as of September 2026.

Its interviews are regularly picked up by MMA Fighting, Bloody Elbow, Sherdog and Yahoo Sports, so it often shows up as a quote source across English-language MMA media.

What you'll find

The show runs weekly programs plus an "SR Morning After" live stream the day after every UFC event. Time zones work in its favor: from Melbourne, the live show starts soon after American cards wrap up. In September 2026, for example, it aired a UFC 331 post show on Joshua Van versus Alexandre Pantoja, an immediate reaction to Gable Steveson's knockout loss and a UFC 334 preview of Ciryl Gane versus Josh Hokit. The September 27, 2026 live covered Raúl Rosas Jr.'s win, reactions around Raoni Barcelos and Darren Till versus Yoel Romero, then opened UFC 332 fight week.

You'll also find interviews with UFC, ONE and KSW fighters, guests such as Luke Thomas on preview shows, and a late-night format called "Bedtime MMA." Other recent topics included whether Ilia Topuria could be pushed back to featherweight and the situation around Tom Aspinall's heavyweight title.

Why follow

Submission Radio covers several promotions, which gets you ONE and KSW fighters that American outlets rarely interview. The post-event lives pack results, controversies and next matchups into a single show.

If you're outside the Americas, Australian broadcast times can be easier to catch than shows recorded live in the U.S. Around each card the channel posts several shows: a preview, an immediate reaction, a post show and the next-morning live.

MMA Official's take

Submission Radio is for fans who follow every UFC card and want a spoken recap the next morning, and for anyone looking for interviews with fighters outside the UFC. Episodes run long and work well as background listening.

Start with the "SR Morning After" live that follows the next UFC event: you'll get results, reactions and upcoming fights in one sitting. For a specific fighter, search the channel for his name: the interview archive goes back to 2014.
