Overview
Guillotine Podcast is a French-language podcast from Quebec covering MMA and other combat sports. It is hosted by Arnaud and listed on BaladoQuebec. It is independent and available on Apple Podcasts, with an X account, @guillotine514.
The podcast has 226 episodes, the latest released on September 26, 2026. It is still active, with a catalog that covers several years of MMA news. The tone and vocabulary are Quebec French, which sets the show apart from podcasts made in France.
What you'll find
The main format is the recap. Each major event gets its own episode of about 90 minutes: UFC 331, UFC Paris or Super Rizin 5, for example. The show goes beyond the UFC and also follows the PFL and Rizin, the Japanese promotion.
It covers the Quebec scene, especially the Samourai MMA promotion, and features interviews. According to its X account, it also talks about BJJ, kickboxing and Muay Thai. You get a broad view of combat sports with local roots in Quebec.
Why follow
Guillotine Podcast follows several promotions. If you watch Rizin or the PFL alongside the UFC, you get French-language recaps of those promotions too. Episodes of about 90 minutes give enough time for detail without taking up your whole evening.
Coverage of the Quebec scene is the other reason to listen. Samourai MMA and local fighters get regular airtime, episode after episode. For a fan outside Canada, it is a way to discover Quebec MMA from the inside. For English-speaking Canadians, it is the French-language side of the regional scene, told by someone who follows it closely.
MMA Official's take
This outlet is for French-speaking fans who follow several promotions, including Rizin and the PFL, and for anyone who wants to know the Quebec scene. It also suits fans of BJJ, kickboxing and Muay Thai, who will find their sports covered. If you only want the UFC, pick episodes by their titles, which name the event covered.
Start with the recap of an event you watched, such as UFC Paris or Super Rizin 5, and compare your take with the show's. Then listen to an episode on Samourai MMA to discover the Quebec scene, and follow @guillotine514 on X for news between episodes.
