UFC 118 Review and Trevor Prangley

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris contemplate whether or not the last UFC was shocking or not surprising at all.  Really, did anyone expect James Toney to beat Randy Couture?   Did anyone expect Frankie Edgar to run through BJ Penn for a second time?   Tune in for our answers, then stick around as we banter about the rest of the fights, wandering off topic more often than a pair of drunks.  Can you handle it?  There's only one way to find out.  Other questions to consider: Will Gray Maynard beat Frankie Edgar a second time to take the belt?  Does being a wrestling champion of Brazil mean anything at all?  Does Kenny Florian really lose in big matches because he chokes?  Or is he just having problems with men who can hold him down and punch him in the face?  Who wouldn't?   It's a fair question, and we don't shy away from it.  Also, what is up with Nate Diaz?  Does he even know he is doing post-fight interviews?  Why does he continually talk about fighters who do not fight for the UFC in the Octagon?  Is it a a keen understanding of cross-marketing or is he so punch-drunk he doesn't even really know where he is?  And what about that choke?  Did he nearly kill Marcus Davis by choking him that long?  Wow.  If this isn't enough for you, hang around as Trevor Prangley stops in to talk about his upcoming bout versus Keith Jardine next week in Shark Fights 13.  Hear what he thinks of his fight and the rest of the card, which actually sounds like a good one.  Also, catch his thoughts on the Tim Kennedy vs. "Jacare" fight as well as the King Mo vs. Feijao title-swap.  Oh, snap, it's another show worth commemorating in song for generations to come.

Strikeforce: Houston Review, UFC: Edgar vs. Penn 2 Preview and Dan Miller

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris go over the weekend that was "Strikeforce: Houston" where Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante TKO'D Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal to become the new Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion while Ronaldo "Jacare" De Souza beat Tim Kennedy by decision to take the newly vacated middleweight title.  Also former WWE star Bobby Lashley got his first taste of defeat from a man with luxurious sideburns, Chad Griggs.  Did anyone see any of this coming?  Going by what we said last week, we sure didn't; except for the K.J. Noons vs. Jorge Gurgel fight which a retarded monkey could've picked right. Good grief!  But that won't stop us from congratulating ourselves just the same as if we picked every fight correctly. Then, with a fresh batch of wallops to look forward to, we move on to chatting about "UFC: Edgar vs. Penn 2", scheduled for this weekend in Boston.  Can "The Prodigy" find a way to answer "The Answer", who de-crowned the Hawaiian at their last match in Abu Dhabi?  Or will Edgar beat Penn to the punch again and walk away with the belt for a second time?  What about Randy Couture vs. James Toney?  Is this just a shameless cash-grab on the part of the UFC, or does Toney really stand some sort of a chance in there?  Hear the answers to these questions and others; then hang around as these same questions are posed to Dan Miller, who patiently remarks on nonsensical banter throughout what can only loosely be called an interview as Jeff launches into personal anecdotes as though he is interviewing himself; leaving Miller to chuckle in the background through several wild tirades - most of which are at least somewhat related to the sport, for a change.  Consider yourself warned!

WEC Review, Strikeforce Preview and Tim Kennedy

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros reviews the results of the most recent World Extreme Cagefighting Event, where Dominic Cruz beat Joseph Benavidez for the second time in exactly the same way swatting him from a distance like a grown man in some bizarre fight to the finish with an incredibly muscular 10-year old.  Tune in and hear a more vivid description, as well as a run-down of the other fights; including Anthony "Showtime" Pettis' insane performance against Shane Roller and the "fight of the year" candidate match that was Scott Jorgensen vs. Brad Pickett.  Then, hang around as we go over the card for this weekends' Strikeforce event which happens Saturday night in Houston.  Will Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante have enough to stop "King" Mo Lawal?  Or will he get taken down and mildly beaten for most of the fight?  How about Tim Kennedy vs. Ronaldo "Jacare" De Souza?  Can the American Special Forces Sniper take out the world BJJ champ? It's going to be a good one, for sure.  If that isn't enough to wet your whistle, you won't want to miss what Tim Kennedy thinks of his match as well as the rest of the fights on the card.  Tune in and hear what he has to say on this and much more, including his thoughts on the difference between fighting in a cage and fighting in a warzone.  Also, you've never heard such an eloquent explanation about why fighters should be paid a lot more.  Miss this one and you risk being rendered irrelevant!

UFC 117 Review, WEC Preview and Bart Palaszewski

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris review UFC 117: Sonnen vs. Silva, which was a huge triumph for Anderson Silva fans and a crushing defeat for fans of Chael Sonnen and his non-scripted high-quality trash talk.  What went terribly wrong?  What will happen next?  Should any of us change fan-wagons?  Will Sonnen come back and beat Silva senseless in a re-match?  Or will Vitor Belfort emerge from a monastery somewhere and punch a hole through his face?  What about Georges St. Pierre?  Did Sonnen prove that GSP could beat Silva if that match was put together?  Or is that match no more sane than the schoolyard banter of witless pre-pubescent boys?  What about Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves?  Did that fight prove anything?  Tune in and hear the crap we say about these fights and the others, including Junior Dos Santos' beating of Roy Nelson and Hughes' choke-out win over Ricardo Almeida, who is just the latest feather in the cap of the farmer/wrestler, who is steadily working his way through the entire Gracie family.   Then it's time to banter about the next World Extreme Cagefighting, where champion Dominic Cruz will defend his belt against the tiny-but-dangerous Joseph Benavidez.  Will he get caught in the guillotine of the bite-sized Alpha-male fighter?   Or will he glide around outside his opponents' reach and fist-swat his way to a title defense?  We're not sure, so we bring in WEC fighter Bart Palaszewski, who is fighting on the same card and, as it turns out, is also not sure what is going to happen in a great many of the WEC fights; although he's pretty sure he's got the main event figured out.  Tune in and hear what "Bartimus" has to say about his fight, his training and the rest of the card, then go back to your life, a little bit wiser for the experience.

UFC Jones Vs. Matyushenko Review, UFC 117 Preview and Clay Guida

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris review the results of the UFC event where Jones "Bones" Jones went through Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko like poop through a goose.  Questions: What the hell is up with that guy?  Does he have all the powers of the Fantastic Four combined into one super-being?  Is he even close to his potential yet?  Also, what about those other fights?  Is Yushin Okami the most boring fighter ever?  James thinks so.  Jeff isn't so sure.  Plus, what's the deal with "The Fireball Kid" Takanori Gomi knocking out Tyson Griffin?  When the match started, we honestly didn't care who won although we suspected Griffin would win; but then when Gomi won we cheered like our childhood hero had shown up at our birthday.  How is that possible?  Who knows?  Then, it's time to move on to discuss the upcoming card for UFC 117: Sonnen vs. Silva, where powerhouse wrestler Chael Sonnen will fight for the UFC middleweight belt against the most unpopular champion in a great long while mostly due to the God-awful display of simultaneous ego and cowardice that Silva displayed in his last fight against Demian Maia.  Can Sonnen beat the man who fights like a scene out of "The Matrix"?  What about the other matches, where Thiago Silva and Jon Fitch collide for the second time, Clay Guida takes on Rafael Dos Anjos and Matt Huges faces Ricardo Almeida?  That's not even the end of it, as Roy Nelson steps into the cage to fight Junior Dos Santos in an endomorph vs. mesomorph match.  What's going to happen there?  Summary: We don't know.  Then, for a more informed opinion, Clay "The Carpenter" Guida stops in to talk about his training with Greg Jackson, his preparation for his latest fight and his opinions on the other fights on the card.  Catch what he's got to say about Matt Hughes and his thoughts on the main event.  It's the cherry on the sundae of info-tainment for the week.

Impact FC Review and Vladimir Matyushenko

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris review Impact FC where Ken "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Shamrock wrapped up his career by submitting to the leg kicks of Pedro "The Rock" Rizzo. Tune in and hear all about it, and what makes Ken Shamrock even less dangerous in Australia than in the U.S.A.  Also, where does his retirement rank in the list of strategically best retirements in the sport of mixed martial arts?  Then, it's time to chat about the hot news in MMA as Jake Shields has made the announcement that he will face Martin Kampmann in the UFC which isn't a surprise considering how Strikeforce treated him before his fight vs. Dan Henderson.  Hold on: Did you say Martin Kampmann?  Can Shields hang with that guy?  What is going to happen there?  Catch the opinions.  Conclusion: We're not sure.  Good stuff!  Then we call up Vladimir Matyushenko and chat with him about his upcoming match against Jon "Bones" Jones in the UFC. Plus, just because he's Russian, we ask him about the whole Fedor Emelianenko thing.  Was that a fluke or what? Hear the opinion of "The Janitor" on that and on some other interesting stuff including Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva.  What does he think?  Conclusion: He's not sure.  Still, it's a show worth listening to at least once!

Impact FC Preview and Sarah Kaufman

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Micheal Kellaris run down the card for Impact FC, which goes down this weekend in Australia.  In the main event, Ken Shamrock takes on Pedro "The Rock" Rizzo in a battle between aging legends in the twilight of their careers.  Can "The World's Most Dangerous Man" avoid another brutal knockout?  Or will Rizzo lay him out the same way others have done in Shamrock's last five fights?  Then Paul "Semtex" Daley returns to fight after being bounced out of the UFC, to take on Daniel Acacio, Denis Kang takes on Paulo Filho and Murilo Bustamante returns after a three year hiatus to fight Jesse "JT Money" Taylor.  What's going to happen?  Tune in and hear their guesses, heavily flavored with bias and speculation as usual.  Then stick around as Strikeforce World Champion Sarah Kaufman stops in to discuss her upcoming title defense against Roxanne Modafferi, as well as share with us her thoughts on the state of women's MMA, Cris "Cyborg" Santos' recent fight vs. Jan Finney and what exactly "intelligent defense" means, just in case Brock Lesnar isn't sure.  Oh, snap!

UFC 116 Review and Chris Lytle

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down their thoughts on the event that was UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin.  Did Lesnar really gain a new legion of fans or did he show the world that he still has huge holes in his game?  What about Carwin? What happened to him?  Will Cain Velasquez fair any better when he takes on Lesnar?  These are just a few of the mind-shattering questions they answer.  Also, what is up with Chris Leben submitting the Japanese judo expert?  Have we slipped into another dimension of crazy where things are backwards? Good grief.  Tune in and hear their baffled reasoning for an event that seemed to come straight out of bizarro world.  Then, hang around as Chris "Lights Out" Lytle stops in to talk about his recent win over Matt "The Immortal" Brown.  Should he have won submission of the night for that?  What did he think of the Lesnar match?  Stick around and hear how he answers these questions, plus a ton more, many of which don't make any sense and all and don't qualify as "questions" even under the loosest terms.

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris sit down and refuse to eat a hot plate of humble crow even though they predicted last week that Fedor Emelianenko would wipe the mat with Fabricio Werdum and, as it turns out, quite the opposite went down on Saturday night at Strikeforce.  Also, what is up with "Cyborg" Santos?  Can any woman on the planet stand up to her relentless savagery?  Damn.  Plus, Cung Le kicked Scott Smith in the ribs.

TUF Finale Review, WEC Review, Strikeforce Preview and Chris Horodecki

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-nerd James Kellaris run down the results of The Ultimate Fighter finale, where Matt Hamill beat the living hell out of Keith Jardine, and Court McGee took out Kris McCray in a battle between fighters who'd already lost once already on the show.  What do these fights mean in the grand scheme of universe?  Not much, which is why they move on to talk about WEC results, where Mark Hominick and Yves Jabouin went to war and Jamie Varner fought to a draw against Kamal Shalorus.  Like that isn't enough, then it's time to talk about Fedor Emelianenko's match this weekend against Fabricio Werdum in Strikeforce, where virtually no one thinks Werdum stands a chance; in much the same way that no one thinks that Jan Finney stands a chance against Cris "Cyborg" Santos or that Scott Smith stands a chance against Cung Le, even though Smith has already beaten Le once.  All this and Chris Horodecki stops by for a chat.  Tune in and hear the off-topic ramblings, spiced heavily with rumors, speculation and a pinch of innuendo.

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros passionately recounts his experiences at UFC 115: Liddell vs. Franklin in Vancouver, B.C., Canada while co-host James Kellaris shares his thoughts on the card.  First, how many times can Liddell get knocked out before the UFC finally has him turn in his mohawk and gloves?  Also, what does this mean now that Franklin has beaten "The Iceman"?  What about Mirko "Cro Cop" Filopovic vs. Pat Barry?  Did anyone expect that fight to end in submission?  Quick answer: no.  Also, don't miss a hearty debate about the other matches on the show including Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel, Kampmann vs. Thiago and Carlos Condit vs. Rory Macdonald.  Was the reffing bad?  Or is it just really hard to control a fight where almost anything can happen, and often does?  Then top female MMA fighter Roxanne Modafferi stops in to chat about a series of randomly-generated topics, including her recent win vs. Tara LaRosa, her upcoming bout against Sarah Kaufman, and her thoughts on Cris "Cyborg" Santos vs. Jan Finney coming up soon in Strikeforce.  It's an interview that will change the way you think about the sport, the world and life itself, or at least entertain you for about a half an hour.  Either is good.

UFC 114 Review, Dream 14 Review and Martin Kampmann

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris banter endlessly about the surprising and not-so-surprising results of UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans.  Did anyone expect Rashad Evans to be so fast?  Did the main event live up to the hype?  Or did it fall flat after hours of trash-talk and in-your-face contradiction. What about the fight between Mike Russow and Todd Duffee?  Was that the biggest shocker in the history of the sport? Can we learn anything from that insane knockout?  Let's no overlook the match between Jason Brilz and Antonio "Little Nog" Nogueira.  A lot of people think Brilz won.  Did he?  Or did getting caught in a crucifix in the third-round cost him the fight?  These are just a few of the points bled to exhaustion, along with senseless comments about Diego Sanchez, Michael Bisping and Amir Sadollah.  Then it's time to talk about Dream, where Nick Diaz continued his quest to beat up everyone in Japan, and Sakuraba took another step towards permanent brain damage, where Ikuhisa Minowa has been for a long time, fighting the biggest men that match-makers can fit on a plane into Tokyo.  Hear the controversy of the referee adjusting shorts in the Gracie vs. Sakuraba fight, the thrills of the "Kid" Yamamoto bout and the downright crazy of the rest of the card; featuring a fighting who makes Genki Sudo's antics look calm and conservative.  Then it's time for Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann to stop by to talk about his upcoming bout in the UFC against Paulo Thiago, give us his thoughts on the rest of the UFC card and look back on the fights from the past weekend. Holy smokes, what a show.

Strikeforce Review and Dan Hornbuckle

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, it's another podcast jammed with rumors, innuendo and a touch of mysticism.  First, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down the results of Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery, where Alistair Overeem trouched Brett Rogers, and Andrei Arlovski once again came up short, losing a decision to Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.  Of course, beside Silva everyone looks short.  Yes, that was a joke but what's no joke is the stone-cold fact that now Fedor Emelianenko will have to face one of these two massive terrifying giants if he is able to beat Fabricio Werdum.  Is he longing for the days of Pride where every second fight he took was against a tomato-can freak of nature?  Who knows.  Also, what about Ronaldo "Jacare" De Souza?  Is that guy even human?  Or is he some incredible combination between a kangaroo and an alligator that just happens to be human-looking?  No one can be sure.  Wrap your ears around these hot topics, then stick around as Dan "The Handler" Hornbuckle stops in to talk about his fight this week in the Bellator 170-pound tournament; and share his thoughts on such gripping issues as what it's like to fight your own manager, whether or not Georges St. Pierre can be beaten and how difficult it is becoming to deal with the rising costs of My Little Ponies.  No, we are not kidding.  We actually talk about that, just after we talk about the time he nearly killed Akihiro Gono by kicking him hard in the face.  Also, what's the difference between a mohawk and a war-hawk?  Tune in and get the answer, or live a life of ignorance without the vital information you need to be socially relevant.

UFC 113 Review, Strikeforce Preview and Dan Miller

On this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down the week that was in the world of mixed martial arts. First, it's time for James to shamelessly gloat like only a true muay thai nerd can, as we reflect on Mauricio "Shogun" Rua's win over Lyoto Machida, the man who Karate stylists all over the world were resting their laurels on as proof that karate can, in fact, work inside the octagon.  Does this loss totally, totally de-throne that idea?  Maybe, or maybe not.  For James, however, it goes down in the history books, chiseled into stone as proof that muay thai is better without a doubt.  Then, once the gloating is over, we run down the rest, from Alan Belcher's win over Patrick Cote to the street-punk antics of Paul "After the Bell" Daley, not to mention the latest chapter in the book of Kimbo Slice, who has been freshly sliced from the UFC roster following his loss.  Wait, let's not forget that there's a Strikeforce this weekend, as Alistair Overeem defends his belt against Brett Rogers and Andrei Arlovski takes on the giant from American Top Team; Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.  Plus, Kevin Randleman takes on Roger Gracie in a fight where Randleman will undoubtedly dive straight into Gracie's guard; like a midget tossing itself into the jaws of a shark.  Tune in and find out what else fate has in store, or at the very least what two nerds think might happen.  Then, hang around as Dan Miller stops in to chat about his fight against Micheal "The Count" Bisping, which is coming up in just a few short weeks at UFC 114 : Rampage vs. Evans.  What does he think about Bisping?  What about the main fight?  Can Rampage and Evans trash talk worth a damn or do they just endlessly repeat each other like two very parrots?  Have we given away the answer already?  Regardless, take those wine corks out of your ears and listen in!
