Overview
TheWeasle is an independent YouTube channel created in December 2011. It describes itself as simple but in-depth analysis of the biggest combat sports competitions. The UFC takes up most of the schedule, with boxing added when a major fight calls for it.
As of September 2026 the channel had about 385,000 subscribers. It posts after every major event and runs a recurring show, Let's Talk MMA, that goes through the week's news and answers fan questions.
What you'll find
There are four main formats. Predictions cover the full card before the event. Post-event reactions go through the card fight by fight, with timestamps in the description. The “What Really Happened” videos isolate one fight and explain the sequence that decided it. Let's Talk MMA mixes news, rules talk and divisional pecking orders.
Recent uploads show the approach. One video breaks down Arman Tsarukyan's first-round knockout of Mauricio Ruffy. Another explains Jean Silva's one-armed choke win over Jose Delgado. The channel also covered Tom Aspinall vacating the heavyweight title, which made Ciryl Gane undisputed champion, and UFC Paris, where Salahdine Parnasse knocked out Dan Hooker.
Why follow
The channel explains fights without burying you in jargon. It uses the fight footage to show what happened, then puts the result in the context of the title picture. If you watched the event live, it helps you understand what you saw.
The timing follows the schedule: picks the day before, a reaction that night or the next day, and a detailed breakdown within the following days. You can keep up with every UFC weekend on this channel alone.
The prediction videos give a pick for every fight on the card, so you can check them against the results a few days later. The channel has tracked the 2026 UFC calendar this way, from UFC Paris to UFC 331, headlined by the Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja rematch. It also reacts to press conferences, such as the one for UFC 333. Some videos step outside MMA, like the breakdown of Ryan Garcia's second-round knockout of Conor Benn in boxing.
MMA Official's take
We recommend TheWeasle to fans who already know the fighters and want more than the result. It stays accessible, so you do not need to train to follow along.
Start with the “What Really Happened” video on the most recent big UFC knockout, then add Let's Talk MMA to your weekly routine.
