Overview
MMA Junkie Radio is the official radio show and podcast of MMA Junkie, part of USA Today Sports. It is hosted by "Gorgeous" George and "Goze" and recorded at the Race & Sports Book at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The show has passed 3,700 episodes, with episode 3706 released in September 2026. Episodes are also syndicated on Yahoo Sports.
What you'll find
It runs two episodes a week: a recap after each fight weekend and a preview before the next card. Coverage spans the UFC, the PFL and other promotions, plus Dana White's Contender Series results and athletic commission rulings. Episode 3699, for instance, covered UFC Shanghai, BKFC at Fenway Park and other events from the same weekend, while episode 3701 went through the UFC card in France and asked whether Salahdine Parnasse is for real.
Every episode brings in at least one guest, usually a fighter or coach. In September 2026 the show welcomed Aaron Pico, coach Eric Nicksick, Bryce Mitchell, Malcolm Wellmaker, Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Khaos Williams. In August, Tyron Woodley, Henry Cejudo, Cris Cyborg and Danielle Kelly came on. Episode 3700 featured Brandon Jenkins right after his win over Mike Perry.
Why follow
The twice-weekly schedule keeps you current: what happened over the weekend, what's coming next and the news in between. The show also gets into the business side, such as UFC fighter payouts. Nevada State Athletic Commission decisions get covered too, such as the fines handed to fighters in August 2026.
With more than 3,700 episodes, it is one of the longest-running shows in American MMA media, and the same host pairing keeps it consistent. Episode titles list the topics and guests, so you can choose what to play.
MMA Official's take
MMA Junkie Radio is for fans who listen on the go, in the car or at the gym, and want a regular rundown of the whole sport more than deep technical analysis. Each episode stands on its own, so you don't need to have heard the previous ones.
Start with a recap episode following a UFC pay-per-view, such as episode 3704 on UFC 331 with the Bryce Mitchell interview, then listen to the next preview. If you want a fighter's side of the story, pick an episode by guest name from the titles.
