For listeners looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, we now officially have a 'Vivisection/6th Round/MMA Depressed-us' Patreon. Both event week shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward.
However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to our non-event week show, 'The MMA Depressed-us Podcast', from here on out." - Zane Simon 3.02.23 Become a devoted degenerate Patron here: https://patreon.com/mmavivisection?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=join_link
