Degenerates Welcome... "For those of you who don't know, the MMA Vivisection is Bloody Elbow's long-running pre-fight breakdown show. Where we pick over all the ins, outs, odds-and-ends of each and every fight on any given card on any given week. Over time we've tended toward the UFC end of things, but now that we're going indie who knows, we might just branch out a bit. The Vivisection was started back in 2013 by 'Kid' Nate Wilcox and Dallas Winston, and I, Zane Simon, took over hosting duty shortly afterward. I'm joined each week by my trusty co-host Connor Ruebusch, and together we've recorded more than 600 episodes as of 2023. Alongside the Vivisection, I also host the 6th Round Post-Fight Show with Eddie Mercado. Started back in 2014, we're currently more than 300 episodes deep, bringing fans all the post-event hot takes they could ever hope to handle. For fans looking to support our work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, first podcast patreon is a great place to start. It's also likely going to be the only place to access our non-UFC week podcast, the MMA Depressed-us in the future... BONUS: Higher tier Degens can access your chance to tell us what to do. For those brave enough to take on the 'Ultimate Degen' tag, we'll take fight suggestions for 'The MMA Depressed-us' (anything but Namajunas/Esparza 2). And we'll read out your fight pick/breakdown on air for the MMA Vivisection. Potentially other future options could include: special event Vivisection requests, fantasy fight breakdowns, and other exclusive content." *** The Vivi shows & 6th Rd will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and all of our other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to the MMA Depressed-us from here on out. If you are also a devoted follower of any of our other BE Presents Podcasts, such as: Care/Don't Care, The Level Change Podcast, Crooklyn's Corner, The Hey Not the Face! Podcast, Show Money, 6th Round Retro, Exclusive Fighter Interviews, & our guest podcasts... don't panic – we will continue to produce all of this outstanding podcast content for you no matter what happens with Bloody Elbow moving forward – and we will let you know more in the days to come regarding all the places you can catch the shows for free, or opt to subscribe, as the case may be.

Zane is from Alaska, which explains a lot. Connor is from Ohio, which explains far too much. The 6th Round Post-Fight Show: Hosted by Zane Simon, alongside co-host Eddie Mercado. Our post-fight UFC show has been running since 2014, with no signs of stopping. Eddie has fought Muay Thai in Thailand, MMA in the USA, and sailed the seven seas. He's generally known to be good people. The MMA Depressed-us: Zane is back again, force feeding Connor Ruebusch and Phil Mackenzie the worst fights he can find, MST3k style. Phil is English, but you shouldn't hold that against him (we definitely hold that against him).

EPISODE 17 FEATURES GUEST FIGHT ANALYST PHIL MACKENZIE – * What drew you to this particular sport? * From the time you became a fan, how long was it before you became a full-fledged analyst? * In the time you've been exposed to the sport, how much improvement/evolution do you think has been made in fighter skillsets? * Which fighter do you think has evolved most over the last five years? * Which fighter has devolved the most over the last five years? * The British MMA scene has been pretty hot over the last few years and we have several guys and gals making waves. Give your assessment of the ceiling for the following fighters: * Darren Till * Leon Edwards * Tom Aspinall * Molly McCann * Paddy Pimblett * Brand new guy: Ian Garry (I know he's from Ireland, just figured I'd ask about him too) * Has the UK/Irish MMA scene made any advancement toward losing the “can't wrestle” stereotype they're known for? * Who is your absolute favorite fighter and why? * Least favorite and why? * What in-fight mistake pisses you off the most? * If you could change something in Cyril Gane's skillset, what would it be? * Give me your assessment of what Poirier-Oliveira looks like * Do you get angry fans that get aggy about an analysis you've made? If so, how do you deal with that, because you are incredibly quick-witted, so I'm curious if you end up hurting feelings. * Do you have outside hobbies or are you like Mookie Alexander, the most died-in-the-wool sports fan and nothing else is going to take time away from that outside family and work? * Are you a movie/television snob like Zane and Connor?

Former professional rugby player Phil Mackenzie is working out less than he ever has—yet he feels like he's in the best shape of his life. What's going on? Host Shaun Francis investigates with a feature interview that finds Phil fresh off covering Olympic rugby sevens for the CBC. But what Phil's best known for lately is Leansquad, the online fitness business that has made him one of the most-followed Canadians working in the online fitness space. Phil tells the story of his fascinating career, discusses how his thinking about exercise has evolved over time, provides tips to encourage everyone to become more lean and fit than they've ever been—and shares the secret that his 80-year-old grandfather uses to bust out three-minute planks. Don't miss this episode—it's one of the most inspiring conversations we've featured.   Episode webpage.    LINKS    Learn more about Phil Mackenzie's Leansquad online here.  You can also find Mackenzie on Instagram and YouTube.  Check out this profile on Mackenzie at The Province.    INSIGHTS    As a young rugby pro, Mackenzie was consumed by the sport—it shaped every aspect of his life. But his perspective changed when he got a chance to play against New Zealand's national team, the All Blacks, one of the world's most successful sports organizations. The All Blacks encourage their athletes to foster outside interests, whether it be something like getting a pilot's license or going to law school. This helps set up their lives once they leave the sport professionally, which, Mackenzie believes, boosts their play on the field and their mental health off of it. After coming to terms with the fact that Phil couldn't—and shouldn't—live and breathe rugby 24/7, he started performing at his best as an older athlete. “If I could rewrite the book when I was playing, certainly at a younger age, I'd still be dedicated in my training and playing, but I'd have something to give me that ‘off' switch,” he says. “It's something I think about quite a bit now.” [10:10] Post-rugby, Mackenzie changed his approach to fitness. While playing professionally, he trained to the point of exhaustion, both mentally and physically. Instead of giving himself time to rest, he kept pushing himself harder. Now, he trains less—for just 30 minutes, five days a week—but at a much higher intensity to ensure he's still getting the full benefit of his workouts. “I thought extremes were the only way to be successful,” he says. “And I quickly learned that isn't the case.” Now? He's in better shape than he's ever been. [15:14] For his half-hour workouts, Mackenzie follows a different theme each day, whether it's a focus on cardio, a leg day or a total-body workout. This variety, he says, is key to his system. “It's so important, mentally, to feel challenged,” he explains, adding that it also keeps workouts more exciting. “That's where the rewards come from.” [22:52] Mackenzie has also changed his approach to food. He intermittent fasts, so no breakfast in the morning, and still follows a healthy diet. But, when the mood strikes for a bag of chips, or his kids want pancakes for breakfast, he doesn't despise himself either. “I call them ‘whoopsies,'—my version of a cheat meal. I just think it's an easier term because, inherently, if you think you're cheating … you think all your progress is lost, which is so far from the truth,” he says. “I know I'm going to get back on track. … If your fitness journey is making your life less enjoyable, you're probably doing it wrong, right?” [26:21] So what can you do if you want to follow Mackenzie's example? First, he says, start slow—set a small goal, like starting with, say, five squats, and find motivation by building upon that. Secondly, try to forget about things like aesthetics or the number on the scale. “I just simply focus on the fact that if I do this workout, I'm going to be a happier person, I'm going to be more confident, I'm going to be healthier, I'm going to have more energy, I can be a better dad … the list goes on,” Mackenzie says. Prioritizing what truly matters goes a long way. And finally, don't don't put an expiry date on your goals—just keep working towards them no matter what. “Slowly work your way up there, and eventually you are going to get it if you stay consistent.” [29:39]

Your hosts Phil Mackenzie and Ed Gallo break down UFC 261's three title fights and look ahead to Reyes vs Prochazka. Kamaru Usman seems perfectly suited to Trevor Wittman's reliable process of boxing techniques. He may just be the athletic all-rounder Jorge Masvidal always hoped to be Somehow Rose Namajunas delivered the one instant KO which nonetheless gives analysts like us plenty to talk about Valentina Shevchenko has finally defeated Connor Ruebusch. RIP In lighter news, this Jiri Prochazka guy seems pretty fun

Former Canadian International Phil Mackenzie a.k.a “Mr Lean Squad” joins Rob Hoadley, Alex Corbisiero and Todd Clever on Episode 4 of The American Rugby Show. In “The State of the Union” the boys discuss Phil’s life as an Insta Celeb, MLR’s impact on Canadian Rugby, the Arrows on the road and the importance of considering life after professional sport. The boys then debut the show’s brand new segment “Glory Days” where Rob, Todd, Phil and Alex reminisce on stories from their careers. As always, we cap off the show with the “MLR Breakdown” where Rob, Todd and Alex analyse all Round 4 action.

BUY A SHIRT. Or a mask. Or a... uh, how about a bath mat? That's right, Heavy Hands now has a store on Redbubble, where you can buy all kinds of things printed with our beautifully brutal logo by artist Gian Galang. As for the episode... Connor and Phil get hyped about the surprisingly stacked UFC 256. Deiveson Figueiredo is an athletic terror, but Brandon Moreno is apparently willing to assassinate a baby, so what else might he do? Just how far has Tony Ferguson fallen, and how is he doing it so slowly? Charles Oliveira has definitely gotten better, but there remains the worrying possibility that, like a mounted police officer, he might curl up into a ball when confronted with someone taller than himself. Phil Mackenzie investigates Kevin Holland returns... likely just to lose in classic Smack Man fashion

Show notes: 11/13/20 — Despite technically being on “vacation,” Dan Tom was able to bank some new top-5 episodes in order to deliver an apropos ‘Friday the 13th’ edition of the show, as Phil Mackenzie (@EvilGregJackson) from the Heavy Hands Podcast joins Dan to unpack their – and your – top 5 unluckiest fighters in […]

Connor and Phil curse Aleksander Rakic for turning to be a REALLY boring version of Thiago Santos, and delve into a little MMA armchair psychology. Styles make fights, but what makes a style? How do Connor's worn out old archetypes translate to wrestling and grappling, or are they entirely different worlds? Phil Mackenzie revives the legendary Fighting Temperament Cheeseblock: https://i.imgur.com/W1P9oNB.png We mourn the final days of Brutal Bob Lawler, and console ourselves by celebrating Neil Magny, a true pro who keeps getting better

Margaret, Todd and Claire chat with Lean Squad's Phil Mackenzie, and Tracy Schofield, a nurse who got and dealt with COVID 19 for many months! Phil Mackenzie is a former Professional Rugby Player and the Founder of the LEANSQUAD.

Phil talked about nutrition as well as his 'unique' cooking style! He also discussed training someone that had recently recovered from COVID. Practical nurse Tracy Schofield talked about her journey through COVID. Tracy previously worked at several long term care facilities, and was going back and forth between them until her first positive. After 13 tests she tested negative, after an astounding 76 days!

Your hosts, Zane Simon, Connor Ruebusch & Phil Mackenzie are back. As always, we’re trying to watch the worst, most depressing, and singularly uneventful bouts we can, across the UFC, Strikeforce, PRIDE, and the WEC (with occasional jaunts into other promotions). MMA’s history as a major televised sporting contest may only be a few decades old, but that short span is already filled with stories of what might have been. Young fighters who appeared to have all the tools necessary to become future stars, only to find their careers suddenly flamed out. Or, perhaps, relegated to a journeyman status; once bright prospects forever hopping from promotion to promotion, picking up wins and losses as fans slowly forget that they were once heralded as the next big thing. Sounds like prime fodder for some depressing MMA. And what a better time to glut ourselves on the world of notable mixed martial arts busts than a UFC off-week. With UFC 247 just around the corner, we’re watching Konstantin Erokhin vs. Viktor Pesta, Brandon Thatch vs. Siyar Bahadurzada, and MMA’s ‘could have been’ king Sokoudjou vs. Ikuhisa Minowa—for the Super Hluk Grand Prix Final no less (you can find that fight here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z9X2EN5_Qc). If you’d like to watch along with us, then pull up the first two fights on Fight Pass and hit play when Zane counts down. For viewers that don’t have Fight Pass, but do have the fights, they can join in by starting round 1 along with Connor’s prompt. So strap in.

Billy Crystal and Phil Mackenzie join forces once again to celebrate another absurd(ly technical) year in the world of MMA.  That's right: here we are, once again, giving out Handies. And you're about to listen to it. Who had the best knockout of 2019? The best gameplan? What about the best gameplan that didn't actually work? Will Cody Garbrandt hold onto the coveted Worst Brain Thinking Award for the second year in the row? Who will take home the Patrick Wyman Memorial Award for Explosive Muscularity, and how could it not be Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa? All of these burning questions answered, with only the slightest chance that you will experience a burning sensation in the bathroom. What better way to kick off 2020?

With the lead up to your wedding involving so many other celebrations -- bachelor and bachelorette parties, wedding and bridal showers, engagement parties, and (of course) many romantics dinners with your soon-to-be spouse -- it can be really tough to stay on track with your diet and fitness regime to ensure you look and feel great on your wedding day. On today's episode, Aly is joined by leading fitness and nutrition expert Phil Mackenzie from LeanSquad to chat about the basics you should focus on, and the "advice" you may hear from others that you can ignore! Phil explains how far in advance you have to really focus on your diet and exercise (aka how long you can put it off for!) and goes into detail on the cardio vs strength debate and what will give you the results you want. He also gives his thoughts on the trending KETO and intermittent fasting diets, how to handle portion control, and how approaching your fitness with your partner is sometimes the best motivator there is. Thanks for listening!
