Overview

Believe You Me is the podcast hosted by Michael Bisping, the former UFC middleweight champion. He won the title in 2016 by knocking out Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2019. The show is part of GaS Digital Network and QCODE Media.

He cohosts with Paul Felder, a former UFC fighter turned commentator. The YouTube channel launched in March 2017. As of September 2026 the podcast has passed 700 episodes, and the channel has about 215,000 subscribers.

What you'll find

New episodes drop twice a week. The show covers UFC events on both ends, with previews and picks beforehand and recaps of the results afterward. Fighters come on regularly as guests.

The tone is comedic: Bisping and Felder rib each other, share stories from their careers and talk about the news with a freedom they do not always have on a broadcast. Listeners like the formula, given its 4.8 out of 5 rating on Apple Podcasts from more than 2,500 reviews.

Why follow

Both hosts fought in the UFC and now call its events, which gives them two lenses: the fighter's and the broadcaster's. Their picks and analysis come from firsthand knowledge of what happens inside the Octagon and behind the scenes.

The twice weekly schedule tracks the UFC calendar, with one episode before an event and one after. If you want a show that keeps you informed while staying light, this is a good pick. Bisping's own title run, capped by the Rockhold knockout at UFC 199, means he can speak to what winning a UFC belt takes. Felder's time in the cage and in the booth adds a second perspective on the current roster. With more than 700 episodes since 2017, the back catalog also lets you go back and hear their picks and reactions around past events.

MMA Official's take

This is for UFC fans who like a relaxed tone with their analysis. Start with the preview of a big UFC card to hear Bisping and Felder make their picks, then listen to the recap after the event. You will know quickly whether their humor works for you.
