Deep Waters is where the fight game gets real.

Live every Monday on YouTube, some combo of Din Thomas, Chris Weidman, Jorge Masvidal, and Dustin Poirier break down the biggest moments in MMA with the kind of honesty and perspective you only get from guys who’ve been in the cage.

From fight reactions and bold matchmaking debates to behind-the-scenes stories and unfiltered takes, nothing’s off limits.

Each episode hits the biggest storylines in the sport, dives into key fights, and looks ahead to what’s next, with plenty of personality, debate, and chaos along the way. Plus, the live chat is part of the show, giving fans a voice and helping shape the conversation in real time.

If you care about the UFC and want more than surface-level analysis, this is where you tap in.

Kate Abdo, Clint Dempsey, Charlie Davies and Mo Edu welcome in CBS Sports colleague and former United States U-20 MYNT head coach Thomas Rongen to talk about his experiences as U.S. Soccer’s chief scout. Thomas opens up about his unorthodox approach to coaching, coming to America from the Netherlands, getting posterized by George Best during his NASL playing days, and his regrets about not consoling Clint and Charlie after each of them had suffered a personal tragedy. Then, the tables turn and it’s Kate’s turn to be interviewed as the guys ask about her career path, love of soccer, and succeeding in a male-dominated industry.
