The Brit Pack is BACK!

Hi! I'm Simon Head – a sports writer, journalist, editor and all-round sports junkie. That’s me on the right. Next to me is my good friend, MMA media compadre and videographer extraordinaire, Abbey Subhan. Together, we are The Brit Pack.

A bit about The Brit Pack

The Brit Pack MMA Podcast started out many, many years ago as a sounding board for me and and fellow UK-based MMA media colleague Chamatkar Sandhu to share our views on the sport of MMA.

It was a small, but fun, show that we occasionally took on the road, recording live from cageside at UFC and Bellator events, and also from New York City before the UFC’s historic first event at Madison Square Garden – UFC 205.

Professional commitments for both of us forced the show into a hiatus, but we later returned for a second run before more commitments away from the mic meant we regretfully had to scale back, then stop, the show.

Since then I’ve recorded a few special one-off episodes, including a series of shows (The Brit Pack United Nations) with my former colleagues and MMA Junkie Radio legends, “Gorgeous George” and “Goze”.

Now, to coin an old phrase, “The Brit Pack is back.” I’ve teamed up with my good friend and longtime MMA media colleague Abbey Subhan to get the pod back up and running again, and we’ll look to continue The Brit Pack’s original promise of “Fighting talk with a distinctly British flavour.”
