Overview
The MMA Guru is a podcast on YouTube since 2017 that bills itself as "the best MMA and UFC podcast on YouTube." The channel is independent and had about 458,000 subscribers as of September 2026.
The host has also co-hosted reaction videos with Sean O'Malley under the name "The Suguru Show," including one on the UFC 331 card. Live streams stay on the channel as replays.
What you'll find
Every UFC event follows the same three-video cycle. Before the card, a predictions video goes through every fight with betting tips. During the event, a live "fight companion" stream runs alongside the fights. Afterward, a recap reviews the full card. In September 2026 that cycle covered UFC Noche, UFC 331 and UFC Vegas 121 between Raul Rosas Jr. and Raoni Barcelos.
Between events, the channel posts reactions to the news: Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall, Gable Steveson's loss, the fights to make after UFC 331. It covers boxing too, with a fight companion stream for Ryan Garcia versus Conor Benn. The UFC 331 press conference got its own reaction video, on Arman Tsarukyan's trash talk and the exchange between Sean Sharaf and Gable Steveson.
Why follow
Consistency is the main draw. For every UFC card you get predictions, a live stream and a recap, posted on a predictable schedule. The fight companion lets you watch an event while chatting with a community of fans, which is useful if you watch alone.
The reaction videos take a clear position on each topic, which helps you form your own view before or after a fight. The predictions videos also flag the betting angles the host likes on each card. Predictions cover the full card, prelims included.
MMA Official's take
The MMA Guru is for fans who watch every UFC card, Fight Nights included, and for anyone who makes picks or places bets. The tone is that of a fan giving his opinion, with an entertainment edge, so expect strong takes more than film study. Live streams run for the length of the event, which means several hours.
Start with the predictions video before an event, then watch the recap the next day to compare the picks with the results. If you want the live experience, join the fight companion stream during the card.
