“Overreaction Time” with Simon Samano: The Ultimate MMA Hot Take Show You Can’t Miss
MMA fans, clear your schedules! It’s that time again when we collectively lose our minds over the weekend’s fights and either crown new GOATs or call for retirements after a single performance. That’s right – “Overreaction Time” with Simon Samano is back, and it’s the perfect antidote to your Monday morning blues.
If you haven’t caught this show yet, you’re missing out on the most entertaining hot take factory in MMA media. Host Simon Samano brings that perfect balance of knowledge and willingness to make bold claims that might look ridiculous in six months – and that’s exactly why we love it.
What Makes “Overreaction Time” Must-Watch MMA Content
As someone who’s watched every episode since the show began, I can tell you that “Overreaction Time” hits differently than other MMA shows. While most analysts play it safe with their takes, Simon and the MMA Junkie Radio crew embrace the chaotic energy that makes being an MMA fan so fun.
Today’s episode drops at noon ET/9 a.m. PT, giving you the perfect lunchtime entertainment to digest the weekend’s action. I’ve found myself laughing, shouting at my screen, and occasionally nodding in agreement when Simon voices an “overreaction” I secretly believe but wouldn’t admit in public.
Why This Episode Should Be On Your Must-Watch List
The MMA world never sleeps, and this past weekend delivered plenty of moments worthy of some serious overreactions. From surprising upsets to controversial decisions, there’s no shortage of hot topics for Simon to dive into.
What makes this show special is how it captures the emotional rollercoaster of being an MMA fan. We all have those knee-jerk reactions after watching fights – the “this guy will never lose” or “this fighter should retire” thoughts that pop into our heads before reason sets in.
Simon gives voice to those thoughts while maintaining enough self-awareness to acknowledge they might be slight overreactions. It’s the perfect balance.
What to Expect in Today’s Episode
While I don’t have insider information on exactly what Simon will discuss today, based on recent events, we can expect hot takes on:
- Rising contenders who might be championship material – or just flash-in-the-pan hype jobs
- Veterans who showed either signs of resurgence or hints that retirement should be considered
- Controversial judging decisions that may have changed fighters’ career trajectories
- Bold predictions about upcoming matchups that might age like milk (or fine wine)
The beauty of “Overreaction Time” is that it captures that Monday morning energy when we’re all playing matchmaker and trying to predict the futures of fighters based on their most recent 15-25 minutes in the cage.

In a sport as unpredictable as MMA, sometimes the most honest reactions are the overreactions. They capture the emotional investment we have in fighters and fights.
What makes Simon’s show work is that it embraces this aspect of fandom rather than pretending we all approach the sport with cold, calculated analysis. The show feels like those post-fight conversations you have with your friends – animated, sometimes ridiculous, but always passionate.
