Any problems accessing it just hit me up in the comments.

Thank you to everyone for your questions!! I hope you enjoy it. There's a few MMA questions, some martial arts questions, but seems like the majority of them are about video games and music 😂 Its not super long, only 22 minutes, but I hope you enjoy it while you wait for the next big one to drop. 

Huge apologies if I missed any of your questions. Its been pretty busy lately, workin...

Next video update!

Good evening Just Bleed enthusiasts!

Its 1am here, and I've been working on the Q&A video for the last few hours. Before I log off and crash for the night, just wanted to give you a brief-ish update.

So I'm working on 2 videos at once right now, obviously the big one is the origins of freakshow fighting, and I'm happy to say it hit 30 minutes of completed footage Yesterday! I'm really happy with how this one is turning out so far. From the manga adaptation of the fight between...

Guess the fight: vol 1!

So as part of the upcoming video, I had to talk about a fight that has no video or photos of it in existence (as far as I can find anyway, I could be wrong!), so rather than just talk over an unrelated clip or photo, I asked an artist to turn the story of the match into a manga. Just wanted to share the preliminary sketches with you guys! 

First person to successfully guess what the fight is wins the greatest prize of all: 

my eternal respect 👊  

70K AMA & Progress update!!

Please enjoy this photo of me being DOPE AS FUCK some time in 1986. I'm putting this here just as a counterweight to anyone who may think I'm getting a big ego now that I'm about to hit 70K subscribers and doing an AMA. You cant have an ego while a photo like this exists. Just look at me in my knee socks and sandals on the beach. Someone beat this kid up, please.

So ye...

I need better editing software

It took me almost 2 hours to composite this clip so that it looks like Conor is standing behind the ropes 😂 I'm sure in fancy pants Adobe Premiere Pro this is a 2 minute job but I'm attached to my old ass software now! I don't have time to learn new tricks! 

This is from the intro of the next video. I've completed the intro, and it feels good to be back at it again! I actually had a 100% different intro completely written, recorded, and even completed the video for it, but it ju...

Happy new Year! Let's talk about what's coming next

First off, Happy new year to all of you! I hope your New Years was as phenomenally over the top as this fucking PRELIM FIGHTERS walkout from Rizin 40. Seriously, this dude with like a 2-0 record did a walkout that was so extravagant Prince Naseem probably would've felt like it was "a bit over the top". So yeah, my New Years was spent watching a tape delayed Rizin 40 and pretending i didn't already know 50% of the results. 

And before we go any further let me just quickly rant/rave ...

Happy Holidays!!

First of all, a huge, huge, thank you to each and every one of you. Second of all, please enjoy this out takes video from the making of the latest video!!

As 2022 draws to a close, it's been a wild year to look back on for the channel. This year alone I did Pride part 3, Fake Martial Arts 2, CM Punk, two TUF videos, and the review of the year. 2 cameos for my buddy Mixed Martial Academic, and this weekend I finished my guest spot for Fight Circus 4. Tho to be real, the FC4 lines were ki...

THE ROAST OF '22: LIVE NOW!

Video password: IMSORRYTOHEARTHAT

Sorry it's been a bit quiet here lately, but I've been hard at work trying to get this video out in time for December, and it's probably the fastest I've ever put together a video without half assing it!  

This one was crazy fun to make, and I have to give a MASSIVE shoutout to Mrs B for her help. She did all the hair and makeup and yeah you'll see what I'm talking about when you watch the video. Oh and if you're wondering why I didn't review...

What's next!

Hey! 

Okay, so yet again after promising myself I was going to take some time off after TUF 2 came out, I almost immediately dived right back in and started working on the next video. It's not what I consider a "real" video, as it's just an end of year MMA review, but I'm hoping it'll be enjoyable all the same. And I really just had to share this segment with Patrons as it's another stupid idea that has had me laughing every time I think about it. 

I did a piss-take "in ...

Post video update!

What's up everyone, as is tradition now, it's time for the post video release debriefing and some chat about what's next. 

First off, a massive thank you to each and every one of you guys. The Patreon numbers really blew up in the week that the video was on early access. And as always, whether you stick around just for the month or if you stay longer, you're all god damn Just Bleed guys to me. Thanks to your help I'm able to do real fancy shit like get my car serviced without havin...

THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER - LIVE NOW!

Password: LEFTHOOKLARRY

It's done!!! Finally!!!

I really hope you all enjoy it. This has been an absolute monster of a video to finish. It's been a little over 2 months in Production. I've learned my lesson, I don't think I'll be tackling any topics this big for a long, long time. 

There was way too much to talk about for just one video, when Season 2 alone took up 30 minutes of the video by itself, I probably should've realized trying to cover seasons 2-10 in one video...

TUFDate #7!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh It's almost done! And when i say almost i still mean there's probably like a week or so worth of writing, editing and shit still to go, but were getting there and I've been writing and editing non stop for like, 2 weeks now so Im  little out of it.

This fucking thing keeps growing. Right now, we're up to 1hr 20 minutes. Its officially the longest video I've ever done. It'll clear 90 minutes easily by the time its finished. Honestly, it'll probably be closer to 1hr 45...

TUFdate #6!

What's up everyone!

Hope you're all doing well and getting ready for spooky season. I just watched a few episodes of that Guillermo Del toro's Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix and it's got me in a horror mood. There's a scene where a guy does an autopsy on himself, which is great, because I've just been editing TUF Season 8 footage and god damn you need a strong stomach to get through some of that shit. 

For the first time ever I had to put an actual real content warning in ...

TUF 2 Update #4!

Hey all!

Sorry it's been a while since the last update, been a rough couple of weeks! Between   my regular job running me into the ground and stressing me beyond normal, then covid, then while practically feverish with covid Mrs B and I had to drive to the vet cause Puddles decided to get into a fight and got a giant bite wound on his head... yeah, fun times 😣 

I'm still not over the worst of it, at the moment I can't really do much of anything without coughing u...

New merch is here!

https://napoleon-blownapart.creator-spring.com

The new design is finally done! I absolutely love it, and i hope you guys do too, I even got creepy Heihachi up in there! I think they nailed his dead eyed stare. There's a few new merch types too, stickers and hoodies and whatnot. I was able to get a promo code for Patrons too, so if any of you want to pick something up use LETMEBANG as...

TUFDATE #3!

What the fuck is up, Choco Taco Gang!

So I've been writing and editing for most of the day today, and as i figured this video is gonna take a bit longer than usual, I thought I'd share a small clip with you. 

As I'm sure most of you know, Rashad Evans won TUF 2, and also got turned into one of the earliest examples of a UFC meme when he got KO'd by Machida. "shadface" is one of the longest running MMA memes aside from the Just Bleed Guy that i can think of. Anyway, I couldn't...

TUF 2 UPDATE #2!

Good evening! 

Time for my weekly update! Well, if you take a closer look at the screenshot above, the long green line is recorded vocals, and it's up to 16 minutes, with like maybe 7 minutes of actual video done. So it's coming along relatively well! So far that's 16 minutes of mostly Season 2 talk (there's the usual only vaguely related to the topic intro but this time it's only like 2-3 minutes of rambling about stuff and then straight into MMA talk).

Also, i finally figur...

TUF 2 Update #1

Fucking FINALLY!! I was starting to think I'd never get any work done on this one! But the first few minutes are done. This has been a bit of a tough one to get started on. I've been so busy at work lately that I've had a hard time getting started, and then with part 1 being age restricted and having to edit a new version and making the Screw youtube video, that ate another week of my time. So apologies this one is taking longer than usual!! It might be the last one I'll get out this year, as...

Back to work!!

(the Ashida Kim pic is unrelated, I just couldn't find anything else to upload)

Wow, okay so first off I just wanted to say thank you again to all Patrons, whether old or new!! 

The support and encouragement from all of you (especially since I posted the Screw youtube video) has been genuinely overwhelming. It really does just make me insanely happy and proud of this incredible little community that's sprung up around these videos. From old school MMA fans, hardcores, casuals...

Thank you!

So before the video goes live on Youtube on Saturday, I just had to say a massive thanks to all of you who have supported me here. And a warm welcome to everyone who signed up in the last couple of days, this is the single biggest influx of Patrons I've seen since I started the Patreon about a year ago. And whether you stick around for a while or you're only here just for the TUF Video, regardless, THANK YOU!!

The support I get from you guys, the messages you send just to shoot the shit...

THE RISE AND FALL OF TUF: LIVE NOW!!

Okay shit, so I powered through writing and editing all weekend long, and actually got the entire video finished a lot faster than I thought!

It's live now for you enjoyment, password is: LETMEBANGBRO

A quick note, there's a segment where I refer to Luke Rockhold as a "world class dickhead". This was written weeks before his fight on Saturday, and since that fight, he's gone up massively in my estimation as a fighter. The dude is as tough as all hell. But I stand by my statement t...

TUF Update #5? I think

Yeah, this gif does actually get used in the video. Trying to get more creative with my Jeff Monson appearances 😆

Hit a bit of a milestone today, after the last week or so of non stop writing and editing, I just passed 50 minutes of video completed! And its a solid 50 minutes, no more re-writes, edits or anything required. I could upload this thing as it is right now aside from the fact that it's missing an ending!

So after much internal debate, I've decided to leave this video...

TUF update #3

Yo!

So I'm knee deep in TUF as we speak and just wanted to share a dumb clip i was working on tonight. I had just gotten to Danas infamous "Do you wanna be a fucking fighter?" speech which in the script is described as "The most stirring motivational speech of the 20th century". 

It made me think of all those remixes of Charlie Chaplin's 'great dictator' speech that have completely unnecessary EMOTIONAL music and random INSPIRING clips layered over it. And this was my take on...

TUF Progress report #2

Hello everyone!

Work is progressing well on the TUF video. I've gotten a good chunk of writing done in the last few days. Were up to 10 minutes of actual, solid footage. And I'd estimate about 30 minutes worth of script is written.

Today, I spent most of the evening working on another musical number, and while I can tell you this time around it isn't me singing, I CAN tell you that it's so bad it will give you a whole new level of appreciation for Real Irishman.

I've no idea...

TUF Progress Report #1

And that's a clickbait photo if ever I've seen one 😆

Well it's a small progress update, but just wanted to let you all know its now officially happening, the TUF retrospective is go!

The first 1200 words of the script are done, which is pretty much just the intro, i recorded it this morning and it needs some fine tuning and re-writes but overall its 12 minutes or so and I'm feeling pretty good abut it as i have ALREADY managed to work in a musical segment that makes ...

Post Punk - The Shape of things to come

As is tradition now, we start with a photo of one of my cats 😀

WHATS UP PATRONS, ITS YA BOI NAPOLEON

Okay, enough of that shit 😆 First off, a massive thank you to all of you again, whether you joined in the last week or so (as there were a fair few people who joined after the re-release of CM Punk and the 50K special), or if you've been here since day 1 (and there are a few...

Screw Youtube

Obligatory photo of Puddles

Hey everyone!

Well it's almost a week since the CM Punk video came out and I've finally caught up on some sleep, videogames, TV, and all that good shit I generally miss out on when I'm neck deep in Steven Seagal remixes and whatnot. So just wanted to do my usual post video debriefing now that I've got some time on my hands.

I had no i...

CM PUNK VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW!

It's finally done! I hope you all enjoy it. I had a good time making this as there's some of the dumbest segments I've yet done in here, including my attempt at singing (and trust me when I say, yes, It's autotuned, and STILL sounds that bad).

STATUS UPDATE WITH THE BOYSSSSS!

So I've been working flat out on the latest video full time for the last week or so, and have made a decent amount of progress.  It kinda felt like i was getting nowhere for a while, like every time I opened it up I was somehow always stuck on the 20 minute mark, but I'm happy to report I just passed the 40th minute. I even did a test upload to youtube, and, HOLY SHIT, it passed all copyright checks!! This might be the first video I ever do that doesn't get region blocked in B...

Valentina 1, 4, & 5

Just had to open with that, to anyone saying Santos was robbed 😆 Also the Seagal picture has relevance to the finished video, so something else to look forward to...

Anyway! Still working hard on the next vid. 33 minutes completed now. Tho the script still isn't near completion, and is taking a lot longer than i expected. Obviously I work a 9-5 on top of youtube, because if i was living off my youtube cheddar, you'd be getting these status updates from a scurvy riddled corpse. So in ...
