Podcasts about TKO

UFC 326 started with a bang when Rodolfo Bellato stopped Luke Hernandez via TKO after a spirited first 90 seconds. Hernandez, who was touted as being a great prospect, didn't manage a great look for very long. Alberto Montes subbed Ricky Turcios with a D'Arce choke to grab the only other finish on the undercard. And Cody Garbrandt, who was definitely on his way to a 29-28 loss, ended up getting fouled multiple times with kicks to the pills (the second one even made poor Cody vomit right in the octagon), resulting in Xiao Long losing two points and the fight.The main card saw Gregory Rodrigues waste very little time in sending Brunno Ferreira to the land of wind and ghosts, KO'ing the man in under 2 minutes. Drew Dober would follow with a TKO of Michael Johnson in round two. Raul Rosas Jr. dominated Rob Font to take a lopsided unanimous decision, and Caio Borralho followed suit with a lopsided unanimous decision of his own over Reinier de Ridder.In our final bout, we saw an absolute blowout by Charles Oliveira. He dominated Max Holloway from the jump all the way to the final bell. Chucky Olives looked sensational and now has the BMF belt. Now that we've reviewed the highlights, let's check out the results and bonuses while we're here.MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

As the Dana White-fronted Zuffa Boxing, backed by TKO and Saudi's Sela, makes its move to dethrone promotional giants Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions, James Emmett and David Cushnan consider the latest disruption in the fight game and Turki Alalshikh's role as chief string-puller. They also reflect on their conversation with Uefa Marketing Director Guy-Laurent Epstein and European Football Clubs CEO Charlie Marshall, to unpack the new commercial programme being developed by the UC3 entity, a joint venture between Uefa and EFC - and the flexibility that is being built into the media rights and sponsorship sales packages being taken to market by agency partners Relevent and Two Circles. And there's reaction to the Premier League confirmation it will launch a direct-to-consumer service in Singapore.

This past week brought a lot to chew on. Danhausen finally makes his WWE debut, and while the crowd loved it, I've got some thoughts that might surprise you. AJ Styles' free agency saga gets a proper wrap-up for now. Then it's a full review of NJPW The New Beginning USA, the first NJPW show of the year and honestly a pretty good one. We close things out with TKO's Mark Shapiro making some interesting comments about ESPN at a recent industry event, and what that might mean for the bigger picture.RUNSHEET0:00:00 Intro0:01:50 Danhausen's WWE Debut0:32:01 AJ Styles Free Agency0:55:09 NJPW The New Beginning USA 2026 Review2:10:25 TKO, Mark Shapiro & ESPN

Episode 171 centers on Elimination Chamber fallout and the way one night in Chicago shifted the structure of WrestleMania 42. Randy Orton outlasted Cody Rhodes, Logan Paul, Trick Williams, LA Knight, and Je'Von Evans to secure a WWE Championship match on the biggest stage, but the path there was defined by interference rather than endurance. Logan Paul eliminated three competitors before Seth Rollins returned through an open Chamber door and attacked him, immediately destabilizing the match. That same opening allowed Drew McIntyre to enter and strike Rhodes with the WWE Championship. Orton dropped McIntyre with an RKO, Rhodes answered with Cross Rhodes, and as Rhodes stood, Orton delivered a second RKO to win. In the aftermath, Nick Aldis announced McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Rhodes on SmackDown, leaving Orton locked in for WrestleMania while Rhodes remains in pursuit and Rollins reenters the equation. The women's Chamber provided clearer direction. Rhea Ripley defeated Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka, Kiana James, and Alexa Bliss to earn her WrestleMania match against Jade Cargill. Rodriguez created chaos with a double elimination, Asuka misted Bliss before being eliminated, and Ripley closed with the Riptide to formalize a high level collision at WrestleMania. AJ Lee added another headline by submitting Becky Lynch to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship, her first singles title victory in over a decade, while CM Punk retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Bálor after surviving sustained rib targeting and finishing with the GTS in his hometown. The long teased mystery crate revealed Danhausen, drawing a mixed reaction and existing more as spectacle than structural shift on the road to WrestleMania. Outside the Chamber, AJ Styles formally confirmed his in ring retirement. He will remain with WWE in a non wrestling capacity and enter the 2026 Hall of Fame, closing the door on speculation about a final run elsewhere. We also examine the newly announced Android Inoki project targeting 2027, which begins with an AI model trained on Antonio Inoki's speech patterns and philosophy before integration into a humanoid form. Positioned as legacy preservation, it raises broader questions about likeness rights, commercialization, and how wrestling history will intersect with artificial intelligence moving forward. From a business standpoint, TKO disclosed that WWE generated 1.709 billion dollars in revenue for 2025. The 2026 Royal Rumble in Riyadh produced 55 million dollars, and WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia is projected to exceed 100 million. WrestleMania 42 will follow a hybrid distribution model, beginning on ESPN and ESPN2 before shifting to ESPN Unlimited domestically and Netflix internationally, reflecting WWE's continued evolution in broadcast and streaming strategy. Across weekly programming, championships changed hands on SmackDown and NXT, Bronson Reed suffered a distal biceps tear that forces creative adjustments, and AEW builds toward Revolution under schedule compression with MJF set to defend the AEW World Championship against Hangman Page in a Texas Death Match with permanent stakes language attached. Internationally, NJPW crowned new STRONG and Television champions, CMLL delivered a high stakes hair match at Arena México, and Mauro Ranallo joins commentary for Global Wars Canada. Episode 171 connects creative fallout, retirement finality, AI experimentation, revenue transparency, and shifting broadcast strategy as WrestleMania season accelerates. Listen now.

The week Snead and Ace go two-wide for a great debate! Join us as we ask would WWE be in a better or worse spot if Vince never sold; if Hangman Page loses and is permanently barred from challenging for the AEW World Championship, does that truly close the door on him as a top babyface protagonist — or would the only viable path back to the title require a heel turn that justifies going back on the stipulation; and does WWE's decision to place DUDE Wipes branding directly onto Dominik Mysterio's ring gear represent a natural evolution of modern sponsorship integration under TKO, or does blending corporate partnerships with character presentation introduce new challenges for maintaining performer identity and audience immersion?

UFC Mexico didn't look great on paper but we did get some great moments in reality and it started with the very first bout on the card. Damien Pinas stopped Wes Schultz in opening stanza, showing fight fans that Aruba isn't just for vacations in the sun. Francis Marshall would submit Erik Silva in the first round, and Javier Reyes would make quick work of Douglas Silva de Andrade via TKO.Lacy Chiasson would take her third, straight defeat, this time at the hands of Ailin Perez, a much smaller woman who bullied her for most of the fight. One has to wonder if Lacy has hit her ceiling. Ryan Gandra finishing Jose Medina was a pretty easy prediction for many, and Gandra did it in just 41 seconds to round out the prelims.The main card saw Imanol Rodriguez stop Kevin Borjas late in round two via TKO, and King Green scored a second round TKO over Daniel Zellhuber. One has to wonder if Daniel has also found his ceiling, as this marks his third, straight loss. Finally, in a surprising twist, Lone'er Kavanagh soundly defeated Brandon Moreno via unanimous decision.

What happens when a global brand chases revenue harder than resonance? We dive straight into the rumor mill around Vince McMahon exploring a Saudi-backed move to buy WWE from TKO Group—and ask the uncomfortable question: would a change in ownership actually restore the pulse fans crave, or just rearrange the power?From there, we get honest about the viewing experience. The Rock's blink-and-it's-gone involvement teased big turns that never landed, eroding trust in the week-to-week payoff. WrestleMania, once a can't-miss spectacle, now competes with sticker shock and stalled stories. If families feel priced out while arcs drift, even legacy nights lose their shine. We talk about how TKO's business model looks from the seats that matter most and why a premium ticket needs premium narrative, not just premium lighting.There's a bright counterpoint: the indie surge. Deep South's packed crowds, JCW's segment-to-segment pull, and regional shows that treat fans like neighbors, not numbers. Lower barriers to production and fair prices fuel a throwback spirit—local TV, intimate venues, real stakes. We share behind-the-scenes lessons, including memories of Eddie Guerrero's relentless attention to detail, a tough story about referee safety, and a heartfelt salute to AJ Styles for a career defined by consistency and respect.If you've felt the magic fade, you're not alone. But the spark is still out there—in well-told stories, in affordable tickets, and in communities that show up because they're seen. Hit play for candid takes, road-worn wisdom, and a map to where the heart of wrestling still beats loud.Enjoyed the show?

What happens when a high-performance race shop decides to jump into aerospace and defense manufacturing — and goes all in? In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I sit down with Marty Moran of TKO Precision Machining and TKO Motorsports in Reno, Nevada. What started in 2008 as a motorsports-focused shop building custom race cars and high-end components evolved into a serious aerospace and defense manufacturing operation about eight years ago. Marty shares how the team leveraged deep motorsports and aerospace experience to enter defense manufacturing, earn AS9100 certification, and build a thriving 15-machine shop. But what stands out most isn't just their growth — it's their culture. Communication is constant. Training is intentional. Hiring is rigorous. And everyone is expected to succeed. We talk about workforce development, cross-training machinists into race crew roles, the realities of AS9100 compliance, building depth through mentorship, and the painful ERP lesson that ultimately led them to ProShop. Marty also shares why aerospace certification doesn't just open doors — it makes you a better shop. If you're trying to build a resilient, team-driven shop in today's manufacturing environment, this conversation is packed with insight. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

Welcome to Episode 170 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN to save 20 percent at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Acefield Retro and Chad return this week with a focused, comprehensive look at WWE Elimination Chamber: Chicago, and the broader business and legal context surrounding the event as WrestleMania 42 approaches. Elimination Chamber is not simply a February premium live event. The 2026 edition marks WWE's first televised event at the United Center since SummerSlam 1994, the first U.S.-based Elimination Chamber since 2021, and the final structural checkpoint before WrestleMania 42. With title implications and WrestleMania main event positioning attached to multiple matches, this show operates as a pivot point in WWE's calendar. We break down the full card in detail. The World Heavyweight Championship headlines in Chicago as CM Punk defends against Finn Bálor in Punk's hometown. What began as professional respect shifted into hostility after Bálor was excluded from the Royal Rumble match and responded with a direct assault on the champion. Despite reported hesitation from management within storyline, Bálor forced the issue and secured the title match. A Bálor victory would immediately reshape the WrestleMania 42 main event picture. The Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee is built on competitive imbalance. Since returning, AJ has submitted Becky twice in non-title settings, creating a dynamic where the champion is defending not just a title but her standing within the division. This is less about opportunity and more about restoring hierarchy before WrestleMania season locks into place. Both Elimination Chamber matches will determine WrestleMania challengers. On the men's side, the field includes Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Damian Priest, with one final qualifying spot to be decided on the go-home edition of Raw. Historically, the Chamber has either elevated a rising star or reinforced an established main event presence. With a mix of veteran credibility and emerging power, WWE appears to be actively testing which direction serves WrestleMania best. The women's Chamber features Bayley, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill, and Shayna Baszler, with one final entrant pending. Complicating the stakes is Rhea Ripley's pending WrestleMania decision as Royal Rumble winner. The eventual Chamber victor will not know their WrestleMania opponent until Ripley makes her choice, adding strategic uncertainty to the structure. Beyond the in-ring narrative, we examine WWE's reported restriction of public Elimination Chamber watch parties within the Chicago market. Multiple local venues were allegedly informed they could not host public viewing events. With ticket distribution reportedly below configuration and entry prices exceeding $260, the move appears connected to protecting live gate revenue. We discuss the business rationale, the optics in a historically strong WWE city, and the long-term implications for fan goodwill. We also address the week's most significant off-screen development. Janel Grant appeared publicly at a Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence briefing, where she discussed the impact of non-disclosure agreements in workplace misconduct cases and referenced the NDA central to her lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. Grant spoke about the mental health toll of being publicly identified, her SEC whistleblower status, and directed remarks toward TKO leadership. As WrestleMania season accelerates, we analyze the corporate, legal, and reputational implications for WWE and its parent company. Additionally, reports indicate uncertainty regarding Chris Jericho's AEW contract status, with speculation that his deal may be paused or frozen during his television absence. While AEW has not confirmed details, the timing raises legitimate questions about contract structure, injury clauses, and potential movement in 2026. Inside the Chamber, WrestleMania challengers will be determined. Outside the ring, issues of access, optics, and corporate accountability continue to shape the broader conversation. Episode 170 examines both dimensions with clarity and depth as WrestleMania season moves into its decisive phase. Listen now.      

UFC Houston delivered a statement main event as Sean Strickland stopped Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez via third-round TKO.In this full recap, I break down how Strickland secured the finish and what this win means for the middleweight division moving forward.Also on the card:

TKO panics over WrestleMania 42's sluggish ticket sales—from $266 nosebleeds to $8,998 floor seats and $46k VIP packages—blamed on high prices, Vegas tourism dips, and U.S. travel hesitations by foreigners, per Dave Meltzer. Is creative failing or economics at play? TKO turning WWE into UFC 2.0? CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns main event buzz.Elimination Chamber Hype: Punk (c) vs. Finn Bálor (heel or face?), Becky Lynch (c) vs. AJ Lee (Mania rematch?), Stratton/Ripley/Bliss/TBD qualifiers.

In their second WWII book of the month, Josh and Travis dive into the magical espionage trenches of London in TKO's book “Witches of WWII”. Paul Cornell's comic weaves history and fiction in a way that surprises the boys.

In this solo episode, Chad opens up about his experience with TKO and hormone optimization. He walks through why he started looking into peptides and TRT, what he was feeling before, and what's different now. More energy. Better recovery. Clearer thinking. A renewed drive in the gym and in everyday life. This isn't a sales pitch. It's Chad talking through the process. From the hesitation, the learning curve, and what he's discovered along the way. He connects it back to discipline, aging with intention, and refusing to accept “just getting older” as an excuse to coast. If you've ever wondered what hormone optimization really looks like from someone living it day to day, this one goes there.

Two of Josh and Trav's favorite creators, Garth Ennis and Steve Epting, team up together again at TKO studios for another Russian WWII front story: Partisan. Will this spiritual sequel to Sara live up to the boys expectations?

My guest today is Professor Gabe Reynaga, a lifelong martial artist whose journey began at just nine years old, and more than four decades later, he's still competing, teaching, and making history. By the age of seventeen, Gabe was already competing at the adult level, quickly rising to the top of the sport karate world and earning four world titles. At just twenty years old, he joined the legendary Paul Mitchell Karate Team, one of the most elite teams in martial arts, and opened his first karate school that same year. Under his leadership, his students went on to capture multiple international championships. He earned his 4th degree black belt in karate and was later inducted into the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame by Chuck Norris himself. Widely regarded as one of the greatest sport karate competitors of all time, his accomplishments alone would secure his legacy, but his journey was far from over. In 2009, he expanded into MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Between 2012 and 2014, he stepped into the cage for three professional MMA bouts, winning his final fight by first-round TKO in just 45 seconds… at the age of 42. As his jiu-jitsu career progressed, he became a dominant force on the IBJJF circuit. From blue belt onward, he claimed title after title across Texas. At purple belt, he won both his weight class and the open division. In 2017, he earned his brown belt and immediately made history, winning gold at his first Pan American Championship, followed by another gold at Master's Worlds later that same year. He was awarded his black belt on the podium. As a black belt, he continued to excel on the world stage, earning gold in his division, a No-Gi World bronze medal, and a Pan American silver. His career spans decades, disciplines, and continents, and his impact on martial arts continues to grow. Please welcome to the show – Gabe Reynaga!

Disney CEO Bob Iger is ready to abdicate the throne. Again. Six years after Iger first stepped down as CEO, and 38 months after he regained control of Disney following Bob Chapek's disastrous two-year stretch, the succession planning committee is expected to announce the winner in “early 2026,” aka now.

Joe cheers on Scott Bessent for delivering a rhetorical "TKO" to ABC News, calls out Amy Klobuchar's flip-flop on border security, and laughs at Jamal Bowman's unhinged rant.
