Subreddit Rules

Spoiler Policy

✔️ Open discussion of aired episodes is encouraged. Beware that until the end of the weekend (Monday 12am PT), all new threads discussing the most recent episode need to be appropriately spoiler-flaired and have a non-revealing title.

❌ Unofficial leaks and inside information is prohibited

⚠️ Details of future episodes (gleaned from official teaser and other promotional material) should be tagged as spoilers and not revealed in titles. Fight Cards for the next episode are not regarded as spoilers.

☠️ Stating the results of matches ahead of time is prohibited anywhere on the subreddit (even if you have deduced an outcome from public information).

An episode discussion thread is posted on this subreddit coinciding with the airing of a new episode. This schedule may not always match your timezone or method of watching. Accordingly, the whole subreddit should be treated as a spoiler if you have not caught up on the latest broadcast.

Please respect the subreddit spoiler policy by not getting ahead of the subreddit in your discussion or pouring scorn on people who are naturally talking about an aired episode in line with the subreddit's schedule.

Spoiler Markup

Please use spoiler tags in line with the subreddit policy and not for other reasons such as a reveal for the punchlines of jokes.

There is a spoiler flair button and spoiler button for marking posts.
