The Godfather of MMA Tells the Stories Behind the UFC’s Rise in New Podcast Series Distributed by reVolver Podcasts

reVolver Podcasts, the leading multicultural audio network and home to the largest U.S. Hispanic podcast network, today announced the worldwide distribution of There Are No Rules with Campbell McLaren, a new original podcast series hosted by UFC co-founder and Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren.

Launching in June 2026, the series offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the creation and evolution of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), told by one of the sport’s original architects. Through candid conversations, untold stories, and firsthand accounts, McLaren revisits the earliest UFC events and the extraordinary journey that transformed Mixed Martial Arts from a controversial spectacle into one of the world’s most successful sports properties.

Each episode features a special guest co-host connected to the early days of the UFC, providing additional insight and perspective on the moments, personalities, and decisions that helped build the global phenomenon. Guests throughout the series include legendary UFC champion Royce Gracie, acclaimed filmmaker Christian Gudegast, and other influential figures from combat sports and entertainment.

“The original UFC events were legendary, but the stories behind them are epic and have never been told until now,” said Campbell McLaren. “This podcast gives listeners a front-row seat to the chaos, creativity, and determination that built a sport and changed the entertainment landscape forever.”

The series is produced by Jacqueline McLaren, the award-winning producer of the 2024 MMA documentary Unfightable.

“We are thrilled to partner with Campbell McLaren and bring this remarkable series to audiences around the world,” said Jack Hobbs, President & CEO of reVolver Podcasts. “Campbell’s role in creating the UFC places him at the center of one of the most fascinating stories in sports history. There Are No Rules offers listeners exclusive access to the people, events, and behind-the-scenes moments that transformed MMA into a global powerhouse. This is exactly the kind of compelling storytelling that resonates across our network and with audiences everywhere.”

Since departing the UFC, McLaren has continued to shape combat sports and entertainment, producing numerous television projects and launching Combate Global, the premier Hispanic Mixed Martial Arts organization. Under his leadership, Combate Global has produced more than 150 televised events and continues to expand MMA’s reach among Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide.
