    Better Shows Are Out There
    I just am not a fan of these guys. They try too hard. If Luke Thomas really becomes a major reporting face of this sport, then it’s jumped the shark. You can hear the snark when he brings up Blue Sky. Not a fan of Brian’s boxing commentary either.

    Best MMA podcast. Very informative especially now since I’m not invested into MMA. They keep me updated! Thanks DONKS 😎

    fantastic podcast
    MK is informative & entertaining, always....fantastic stuff!
  • B—12
    Great listen!
    Great personalities that are knowledgeable about the sport!

    They talk about their personal lives and racism for half the show and give good MMA takes the other part of the show

    Audio Issues
    This podcast has become so quiet. I have to max the volume out to be able to hear. Doesn’t matter what headphones or speaker it’s coming from. Have listened in my car and gotten a new phone…still quiet. This is not the case with other pods. Love the show, which is why I want to hear it! Didn’t know if anyone else has brought this up before. Thank you.

    Best show hands down for mma and all around humor. Guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve heard . PLEASE INCREASE YOUR VOLUME LUKE! Way quieter than all other pods on the app.i luh yuh
  • Hectec 18
    Great show.
    Enjoy the show. Top notch combat analysis and great humor
  • jscraps2422
    Get the show up sooner
    Love the show and want to support the guys but sometimes it takes forever to see the show come up on the podcast feed. What good is a Friday breakdown of a Saturday fight card if it doesn’t get up till Sunday or Monday?
  • fjcdjbkfwf mfyn
    Review
    Been listening for a long time. Lately it’s been hard to get through an entire episode. Iv come to terms with the fact that I really don’t like Luke Thomas at all. L.I Luke and BC are awesome. They all have great MMA and boxing knowledge.

    PLEASE BRING BACK THS TIME STAMPS
  • jellyntoasy
    All the negative reviews just increase the likelihood of me really enjoying this podcast
    Topuria and lopes are the future of ufc
  • RSJ05
    1-star reviewers clearly ride NYC subway
    Bunch of zeros on here giving 1 star reviews for Luke Thomas takes that can only be described as gas station food quality. MK all day every day. If you don’t like it, unsubscribe and take your reviews elsewhere.
  • JM7899338783838383
    Too Political
    I expect to listen to combat sports analysis, news, and conjecture when I tune in. If I wanted to listen to partisan cheerleading I’d tune in to Fox or MSNBC. Not sure why they are so intent on conveying their political stances.
  • roonslaughter
    I’m giving them a 5 star review because I thought they were libtards….
    But for them to give Strickland the DDP fight after rewatching it I have to give them all the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t just being libcucks like 99% of the MMA journalists. I was so cringing while waiting to hear Luke’s take on this and thank god he showed himself to be a real man. Of course, he’s already proven himself as a freaking MARINE and solid guy ahead of this but I am so pleased to hear they didn’t de-nut themselves to pretend this fight was a clear victory for DDP. Love you fellas.
  • preacherrad
    Luke is a virtue signal
    Good mma content when they cover. However, Luke’s mannerisms will drive the average human insane. Way out of touch with just regular dudes and hates on his fans/calls them racist. Let that sink in. He claims people he has literally never meant - literally doesn’t know, a racist. That’s me and that’s you and most of his “fans”. Also he dicks on BC for trying to make the show fun. I feel like I would hate working with Luke and it’d take a couple beers before we really understand each other. Tons of potential but like BC said we turn people on we turn people off.
  • Hoshibear
    Seems about right.
    A salt and peppered communist and loud mouth who knows next to nil about combat sports attempt to pass off content they have ripped off from other creators as their own. If you’re into a host pretending to be the smartest person in the world and a cohost attempting to force jokes he can’t deliver, this show is perfect for you.
  • beat mma
    Best mma podcast out there!
    The best commentators in the game hands down!!!
  • Tobias Sleeps
    Awesome show
    Always entertaining and informative
  • ColonKapercuck
    Egotistical soy boys
    Luke has never heard a piece of propaganda he didn’t repeat like a parrot. Two weak men talking about a sport filled with testosterone. Don’t fall in love with this show because if MMA gets canceled by the left, Luke would instantly make a 180 and speak against the sport.
  • Pook666
    Award Winning Podcast
    Hope these Two donks will continue to grace my ears. They’re the best Combat sports Duo I can think of.
  • heheheheheuheheue
    Luke is a fat pretentious assbag
    Constantly crying about anything UFC does.
  • Guysguysfoootballguysguy
    Great Value MMA takes
    Boring, not very insightful, and not unique. If you want to hear the exact same opinions and takes these guys put out, but with better guests and production go check out the mma hour. Dont waste your time with this
  • toby cliffhinch
    Best podcast in combat sports
    These guys are old and washed but they still come hard 3 times a week
  • DND-West
    Genius Stuff!
    Reminds me of listening to Andrew Dice Clay as a kid.
  • FrankFridai
    This is a 5 star podcast
    Question for Luke about stolen valor. Naming your social media team responsible for securing baddies “Seal Team Thiccc.” Acceptable?

    Homeless cats dun madder
    Great show bapas. Luke and brain are bloggbuster, never medum. Shoudout CEO Luke, let me know when I can put in my PTO requests! Back to the friars boys

    Best MMA /Boxing podcast Period!
    These guys go deep!
  • Mr_V313
    Best MMA / Boxing Podcast
    Easily, the best show for all MMA and Boxing. Luke and BC absolutely kill it. If you want comedy, coverage, analytics, fighter interviews and art, then tune in my babies!
  • Onefahq
    Really good fix timestamps
    Timestamps are figured without the ads at beginning so they’re wrong in show notes. No biggie everything else is pretty good. The Weasle on YouTube and podcasts is the best
  • XxRyanxX
    Good podcast
    My favorite MMA podcast. Only downside is that they cover everything when I’m only interested in the UFC. Wish they would add time-stamps so I could skip around based on my interests.
  • mikey mash
    Welcome to Award Winning Donkville
    If you are looking for a Boxing/MMA Podcast, look no further Luke and BC have you covered. Luke and BC have great chemistry and BC’s silliness adds a bit of wanted flavor. Plenty of content per week and great pre and post coverage. These guys didn’t win all these awards by accident. You’ve got male……listeners.
  • David the Donk
    My new favorite podcast
    You guys have such great chemistry and also a wealth of knowledge on combat sports. I heard about you guys from Anthony Smith complaining about BC on bisping’s podcast lol. MK EVERYDAY!!
  • kbharucha
    DONK CITY
    This is one of the best MMA podcasts ever. I listen to every episode. Luke and B.C. are big dumb dorks and we love them!
  • JBruck4
    Fire show
    So funny and informative
  • ErikaDanielleMain
    Best show
    Been with LT from the start & really love his perspective on MMA. Smart, thoughtful & honest. And, BC brings concise info on boxing, which reminds me why I used to follow it. Definitely the best guys doing it.
  • Doubleleg Dan
    The Best in MMA Media
    These guys really do a great show. The hosts are both very knowledgeable in both MMA and boxing, and clearly take time and care in growing knowledge and cultivating a nuanced and reasonable perspective. Plus they have great chemistry and humor.
  • HoodAlum
    Love it
    Great show!
  • Ttt111ttt
    Usually Good
    Entertaining show offered multiple times a week, covering past and upcoming fights. Primarily features the UFC and some boxing. Luke provides good fight analysis and Brain typically adds some humor by not taking himself too seriously. Luke’s pejorative opinion about rural United States gets old. His critiques of tattoos and music is similarly grating. Stick to what you’re good at (fight analysis ) and carry on!
  • skycrapper3
    Decent BUT….
    I was very turned off by Sundays podcast when Luke tried to claim fan’s don’t like Aljo, Izzy, and Kamaru because they are black. Absolutely disgusting take.
  • J. Edward Skeps
    Great MMA Coverage (hope they drop the Boxing)
    Luke and Brian have tremendous chemistry with unique takes with tremendous depth. They combine this with the best toilet humor in the space and somehow make it all work. Took two stars off because they force Boxing content into the podcast. I have to think the boxing content is included only because they, and not necessarily the audience, love it. This would be my number one Podcast if they dropped the boxing, but if they keep it solely out of personal interest, more power to them. I’ll just keep skipping through the boxing parts.
  • Becky209
    Luke Thomas has gotten unbearable
    Spreads lies from Brendan Schaub to try and make Chael Sonnen look innocent because he might have been nice to him once. Thinks he can speak on Latin culture and call certain groups racist while at the same time mocking the accent of Mexican people during multiple segments. When you combine the meltdowns, style of dress, and vaping; Luke Thomas might be the smartest 14-year-old girl you know.
  • Lakewell
    Best MMA Podcast
    Great insight into the sport of MMA, and it's hilarious to boot.
  • Smooth d tickle
    Bad Pawcass B, we geddit
    Two awful guys, never meddum. I would rather listen to TFATK. The Pod with the guys from the Pat McAfee show is the best. Leave this alone and don’t listen.
  • Broses Malone
    Great podcast
    Never heard em
  • SRN Fan
    Best MMA podcast out there
    Great banter, great analysis, and lots of content. Luke and BC have created a show with a fan base that feels like a community within the great MMA community. Not a podcast for those, however, who have yet to master breathing through their nose, or prefer yellow mustard as a condiment.
  • BikemanBob
    Best MMA insight without the corporate shills
    This show is excellent. BBC is a bit of a slapdick, but he grows on you, and fades, and grows back……not unlike herpes, but you’ll learn to live with him. Luke’s insight is worth it. And before Campbell starts hating, I’m from CT! And I don’t read books! We should get along
