UFC 99/TUF Finale Review

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, co-host James Kellaris returns to join Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros for a semi-thrilling discussion of the latest MMA news.  First, it's time to shamefully gloat as they recall how accurate their predictions were for UFC 99, where Rich Franklin spanked Wanderlei Silva, just like both of them thought he would.  After wandering badly off topic at least twice, Jeff and James return to discuss the results of The Ultimate Fighter: USA vs. U.K. where Diego Sanchez won a split decision over Clay Guida in the main event.  Will Sanchez get a title shot?  Should Guida take a fight where the loser has to cut his hair?  Was Gleison Tibau vs. Melvin Guillard the worst train-robbery of a judges’ decision in the history of MMA?  These are just a few of the hot topics that hit the fan.  Finally, it's time to badly spread rumors about Dana White, Tim Sylvia and the spat that the UFC president is having with the mohawk-ed former heavyweight champ, who recently got KO'd by Ray Mercer in less time than it takes to boil an egg.  Hot gravy and killer bees!  Tune in and find out how these seemingly unrelated topics make their way into the broadcast, or hide in your cave of cowardice and be blind to the light of wonder that only FCF Radio provides.

Brock Larson and Chael Sonnen

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down the week that was in mixed martial arts.  First, despite the fact that neither of them thought Lyoto Machida would knock out Rashad Evans at UFC 98 on Saturday, both of them claim they predicted that exact outcome.  How is that possible?  Listen and find out.  Also, hear their thoughts on the rest of the UFC card; including the bout between Matt Serra and Matt Hughes, and the weird way that Sean Sherk decided he should strike with Frankie Edgar instead of wrestle.  As if that wasn't enough entertainment, the discussion then turns to Dream 9, where in the main event, Jason "Mayhem" Miller kicked "Jacare" in the head supposedly by accident but quite obviously on purpose.  Hear what's to be said about that, as well as the rest of the card, including the Super-Hulk tournament that would never ever happen in North America; mostly due to laws.  Finally, because we need some real fighters on the show, we bring in both Brock Larson and Chael Sonnen to give us the inside scoop on their recent UFC wins, and share their plans for the future, as well as their predictions for some upcoming bouts in the Octagon.  Damn, that's as entertaining as 90-odd-minutes ever could be.
