Join us after UFC Vegas 74: ‘Kara-France vs. Albazi’ wraps up…
for our 6th Round Post-Fight Show, hosted by resident Bloody Elbow Fight Analysts, Zane Simon and his cohort, Eddie Mercado. The guys will recap all the action that just went down between UFC Flyweight top contenders, Kai Kara-France (No.4) and Amir Albazi (No.7), complete with hot takes, possible next fights and reactions to the overall UFC Vegas 74 event.
BONUS CONTENT
The guys will be recording audio after the shows usually wrap up. Zane and Eddie have implemented a new ‘numerical star rating system’ for reviewing the bouts on the card during these segments, which is highly entertaining. We will have the audio free and audio bonus shows both up for you during the night on Saturday.
On Sunday you can get an enhanced premium video package, with the bonus star rating segment attached, right on our substack for our paid subscribers only, all of the content in just one click. All you need to do is join us at BloodyElbowPodcast.Substack.com, share your email with us (so we can notify you when new shows drop), and pledge your support to our podcast team — so we can keep bringing the shows to you, especially in video (video will air LIVE on the BE YouTube Channel for PPV events, immediately after our Live PBP Watch Parties).
