    Simply the best commentary on MMA since Jack Encarnacao. The old school guys appreciate your knowledge and witt Jack. Cheers!

    Top Shelf Fight Talk For The Bois
    Title says it all. Jack has a tremendous amount of knowledge and love for the fight game, and it comes across effortlessly in all his work. Whether it’s analysis of recent MMA fights or catching up on his boxing history series, I trust no one more to deliver the key take away points, along with a proper dose of humor, as well as ya boi Jack. Hit up his Patreon for the real goods. It’s nice to see someone putting out quality in our era of quantity.
  • mikeymolino

    The boyest Boy
    Best MMA analyst / opinion sharer. This is a notoriously funny podcast, and actually a non-racist, non-Alt / hard-right. Slackly J is undoubtedly my boy, and I will continue watch and listen to his progress. If you have a good since of humor, are somewhat realistic/ holistic view MMA and MMA culture, you will enjoy this podcast. And I’m not even British! -Bless
  • Kingfishin
    His YouTube channel is gold too
    So insightful and unexpectedly witty. MMA journalism is a lot of chatter, but Jack’s pod is a concise way to follow the sport.
  • mattyparsons
    Smart and funny
    Great great podcast. Combines excellent technical fight knowledge to break down fights in a way that I can regurgitate down I sound really smart with a wicked sense of humor which often has me spluttering. Keep it up Slacky J!
  • infamous IA
    My Favorite Podcast
    Jack Slack has smart and honest breakdowns of my favorite sports
  • renocamo
    For the hardcores only
    This is not for the casual MMA fan, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. This podcast is EXCELLENT if you really care about the sport and are interested in deep dives.
  • Nate Barkley
    Nuanced fight analysis
    Jack is a prolific writer and has forgotten more about the sport than most ever knew. He clearly partakes in training and so does occasionally become overburdened regarding the pedantry of technique that is more helpful during instruction. He never takes it too seriously though. He sees the chaotic, dumb sport of MMA for what it is.
  • mr. friendlyghost
    Spectacular MMA podcast.
    Jack is wise, funny and hyper informative. Any martial artist will dig his content. I’ve gone back and absorbed every article and podcast. A real resource for fighters looking to understand the whole game.
  • Amityville64
    Very nice
    Really great analysis, funny guy. Not many describe BJJ in the detail he does. Is actually critical of fighters when they deserve criticism. Sometimes talks about stuff I don't care about but still makes it entertaining.
  • Gmorussinbot
    Witty , insightful , funny

    Worthy replacement for John Pollock
    When John Pollock's MMA podcast shut down, I was stuck and didn't have much options for interesting and entertaining MMA news and analysis. Well, Jack Slack fits the bill and then some.

  • Tetradukan
    The most in depth and informative Combat Sports podcast
    Jack Slack will always teach you something, always point out something you missed, and will always drop dry lines that leave you stomping your feet, in laughter. Nobody is more consistent, nobody has as pleasant a speaking voice, he's the itunes store Joel Casamayor, Jackie Slack!
  • @jacobskinsuit
    Best fight journalist. Love his work.
    Jack Slack has taught me more about fight strategy than any of my MMA instructors. I'm switching camps and coming to ya, Jackie, m'boy!
  • Loudog Nowell
    Just what I was looking for
    This is the exact type of podcast I have been looking for forever. It has covers of different kinds of strategy and tactics and talks about upcoming UFC fight and fighters. Another really good podcast I found that focuses more on the workout side of fighting is fight camp conditioning podcast. You can listen to all their episodes for free on their website
  • Zro124
    Excellent podcast!
    Really enjoy this podcast! Very technical and really broadens the way I look at combat sports. Thank you!
  • Ace no Jocelyn

  • The jay man 007
    Great show for new MMA fans
    Really nice layout of the show, fantastic insight and I love the style of the speaker. Humorous yet detailed and informative. Keep up the good work! Subscribed.
  • hendricksont
    Exceptional
    For years, I have read and treasured Jack's articles and video breakdowns; I was completely ecstatic when I discovered he had begun podcasting. If you are at all interested in boxing, mma, or grappling--fighting and martial arts in general--this is the guy you to whom you want to listen. He is a genius when it comes to breaking down technique and strategy and his comments illuminate so much of the game for both novice and expert alike. Give the show a listen!
  • Adelo28
    Great fight analysis podcast!
    This podcast instantly found its way to the top of my list of weekly listens. Having read Jack's articles for a while now, I've been hoping for a podcast from him for a long time. He's got great analysis that really focuses on the details, which I really appreciate. Keep up the good work!
  • Eddyedsedd
    Legit combat sports analyst
    Jack's been around analyzing the various arts of fighting since back in the day. His articles on fighters; from legends to prospects, old school boxing to mma, he's always maintained a standard of excellence and insight that's unique. He's also quite the fight historian and is able to follow the lineage of certain disciplines, walking the reader/listener through the evolution of techniques. Cool stuff. Would love to hear him and the guys from "Heavy Hands" riff on their favorite fights in a some kind of joint podcast episode.
  • Dave75346
    Phenomenal
    Jack Slack seems to have encyclopedic expert knowledge of MMA. I find this podcast extremely engaging and interesting. I listened to the latest episode twice I enjoyed it so much.
