"I don’t intend to do a breakdown of how we got here (at least all too much). I am just going to rant and try to get across the point that you should just boycott the ever living shit out of the UFC."
Eric ends our White House coverage with primal rage.

"One day, as hard as it is to presently imagine, the sport, and the world, will not be this."
@punchsport.report is here for day two of the UFC at the White House, and they are searching for meaning in the worst moment of their sport.

"They either think we’re too stupid to notice, or too complacent to care, or too weak for it to matter."
@legkicktko.bsky.social starts our White House UFC coverage with a breakdown of the card and the greater existential wonder of why we are still here.

We've decided that MMA rankings are boring and too focused on things like "accuracy" and "being up to date," so @legkicktko.bsky.social and @punchsport.report have sorted out the weight classes by abandoning sense altogether in favor of joy.

Netflix is finally dipping its toe into mixed martial arts, and @legkicktko.bsky.social is here to make sense of what a card programmed around Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano and Chris Avila really means a decade and a half after its heyday.

The Pagoda crew, led by @legkicktko.bsky.social, got back together to discuss Carano vs Rousey. And then @punchsport.report took two weeks to edit it so its undercard didn't exist yet. Let the dulcet tones of our voices convince you it's still February.

"It’s an incredible rematch. It’s incredibly important to the future of the Lightweight division. So how am I still, somehow, annoyed about it?" It's Holloway/Oliveira 2 and @punchsport.report cannot get over the fake belt the UFC invented to sell shoes.

There's a UFC tomorrow, and @punchsport.report is here to talk about the tiredness of bigotry, the future of scarcity conflicts, and Deep Space Nine references.

"All it takes is a stinky wrestling singlet, ringworm, and some virulent, outspoken bigotry and any horrid oaf gets a shot on the Contender Series against a Brazilian guy who’s 9-3 against an assortment of scarecrows." @legkicktko.bsky.social vs Heavyweights.

In the wake of the allegations against Andre Galvao, and thanks to a consistent string of abusive situations in the sport, Eric goes over why "duty of care" is important to creating safe spaces, and how it is failed to be upheld by the organizing bodies.

Jessica, Nemo, Neal and Carl get together to discuss the then-newly-announced Netflix MMA debut and then Carl takes two weeks to edit it so no one has anything to say about Ngannou/Lins.
