First, what is going on with Georges St. Pierre? Can anyone challenge him? Can anyone take his belt away? Or stop him from doing the same thing to them again and again for five rounds? Tune in and hear what we have to say. Also, if GSP was so much better at striking, why was it that he was the one who left the Octagon with a smashed face while Shields left looking his Sunday best? Why wasn't GSP able to knock Shields out? We have a variety of interesting thoughts. Also, what about Mark Hominick vs. Jose Aldo? Who was it that gave all five rounds to Aldo? Did they even see the last round? Come on. Plus, Machida vs. Couture? We honestly don't think there's much to say besides that Couture should never fight again and Steven Seagal is very likely paying fighters to say he taught them stuff. What other explanation could there be? Those are just a few of the nuggets we touch on as we cruise down a river of conversational gold. Then we call up MMA coach Greg Nelson to chat about training Brock Lesnar and his Ultimate Fighter team in Las Vegas. Tune in and hear some answers to the questions burning a hole in your brain. It's more than you deserve, but we're too jaded to care.yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110504.mp3?ref=rssThu, 05 May 2011 04:47:00 GMT01:08:15MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC 129 Review, Greg Nelson InterviewJeff MeszarosUFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields Preview and Eddie Alvarez InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down the card for "UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields" where UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre takes on former Strikeforce champion Jake Shields. Who will win? Listen and hear what we think! Who is the better grappler? Who's the better striker? Is Shields really an underdog? Or will the world be incredibly shocked this weekend? Plus, what about the fight between UFC's 145-pound champion Jose Aldo and Canadian super-striker Mark Hominick? Will Aldo stand and trade strikes with the "The Machine"? Or will we finally see his skills on the ground? What about Randy Couture vs. Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida? Will Couture use his patented "Wall 'n' Brawl" techniques to crush the Brazilian karate-fighter? Or will Machida leap in from ten feet away and knock Couture's head clean off? Who knows? Also, is Couture really retiring after this match? We're not so sure. Tune in and hear why, then hang around as Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez stops by for a rousing talk about his last fight, his next fight and his thoughts on the rest of the lightweight division. Catch his thoughts on the fights coming up this weekend and his opinion on him vs. Gilbert Melendez, Frankie Edgar vs. Melendez and more or less every other lightweight match up we can throw at him. If that's not a show, we don't know what it is. Honestly, we don't!yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110428.mp3?ref=rssFri, 29 Apr 2011 12:00:00 GMT01:04:07MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields Preview, Eddie Alvarez InterviewJeff MeszarosThe Ultimate Fighter Review, UFC 129 Preview and Ivan Menjivar InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris banter about the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter, where Brock Lesnar is in the running for worst coach in the history of the show. Who is the only man keeping Lesnar out of first place for last place? Listen and find out. Hint: it involves hard sparring and birthday cake. Who would play the role of Lesnar if The Ultimate Fighter was a movie? What about Junior Dos Santos? Hint: someone is played by Zak Galifinakas. As you can guess, we go off on a few tangents this week, but it is all highly relevant, we promise. Has Lesnar done enough to warrant nearly an hour of chatter about his poor coaching skills and bizarre usage of seemingly out-of-date and mildly insulting catch-phrases? Did he learn how to speak by watching Al Pacino movies and hanging out with old farmers? It's an interesting possibility. Speaking of possibilities, what is going to happen when Georges St. Pierre clashes with Jake Shields next weekend? Or what about Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami at the UFC in Rio De Janerio, Brazil? Which country is more likely to riot if their hometown hero loses? The answer might shock you. Hold on, home slice. We're just getting warmed up as we welcome Ivan Menjivar to the show to chat about his upcoming fight in the UFC. Hear all about "The Pride of El Salvador" and his upcoming match, plus get his opinions on the rest of the card. For someone so nice, he sure is opinionated! But that's good, because so are we, dammit. All this, plus a passing reference to cats watching the Northern Lights. If that's not enough, you're just unpleasable.yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110421.mp3?ref=rssFri, 22 Apr 2011 06:43:00 GMT01:04:32MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, The Ultimate Fighte Review, UFC 129 Preview, Ivan Menjivar InterviewJeff MeszarosStrikeforce Daley vs. Diaz Review, The Ultimate Fighter Play-by-Play, Vladimir Matyushenko InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris attempt to do their first-ever simulcast. How do they do that? They review the card for "Strikeforce Daley vs. Diaz" while watching the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter. Is that really a "simulcast"? We're not sure, but that is what they're calling it, and we're not going to argue with them. So, join them for a back-and-forth festival of MMA chatter as they wildly skip from reviewing the Strikeforce card to commentating on the fight happening before their eyes. It isn't easy, but it is a sacrifice they are willing to make. Questions asked and may be answered include: What exactly knocked Daley down? Why did the referee stop the fight when Daley dropped, but let Diaz crawl around the ring like a drunk dog? Is Brock Lesnar a jerk? What's the difference between training hard and training like an idiot? What about Melendez? Is that even a question? Tune in and find out, then hang on as Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko stops in to chat about his upcoming fight against Jason Brilz. Hear what he has to say about his last fight and the bout he had with Jon Jones. Plus, get his thoughts on St. Pierre vs. Shields and Couture vs. Machida. What happens when you combine quality and awesomeness? Quasomeness. Listen and drink it in with your ears.yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110414.mp3?ref=rssFri, 15 Apr 2011 02:38:00 GMT01:01:55MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, Strikeforce Daley vs. Diaz Review, The Ultimate Fighter Play-by-Play, Vladimir Matyushenko InterviewJeff MeszarosThe Ultimate Fighter Season 13 Discussion, Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley Preview, Lyle Beerbohm InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down "The Ultimate Fighter" and share their thoughts on the latest developments. Is Brock Lesnar a good MMA coach? Could the fighters in the house probably beat him up if they were his size? That last question likely tells you what we think. What's the deal with his coaching? What about his curiously out-of-date catch phrases and bizarre terminology? What about the fight? We chat about that until we're tired of it, which doesn't take very long. Then it's time to talk all about Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley. Who's going to win the main event between Nick Diaz and Paul Daley? We're not sure but we agree the loser will be really mad. What about the co-main event between Gilbert Melendez and Tatsuya Kawajiri? Will Melendez sprawl and brawl his way to a decision? Beerbohm vs. Aoki? Jardine vs. Mousasi? Who's going to walk home the winner there? Will the Jardine fight give us some clue how the fighters in Strikeforce stack up against the UFC roster? Maybe, or maybe not. It's all that, plus a ton of off-topic rambling, including a rousing bit where we compare Fedor Emelianenko to a fighting chicken. Then it's time to bring in the fighter as Lyle Beerbohm stops in to chat about his fight againt Shinya Aoki this weekend. Tune in and hear what he thinks of the match, Aoki and the recent purchase of Strikeforce by the UFC. Plus, you will hear all about his fancy pants! Get on board people!yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110407.mp3?ref=rssFri, 08 Apr 2011 11:15:00 GMT01:20:35MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, The Ultimate Fighter Season 13 Discussion, Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley Preview, Lyle Beerbohm InterviewJeff MeszarosUFC Fight Night 24 Review and Mark Pavelich InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, it's time to ask the hard-hitting questions that other podcasts refuse to ask. First, would babies rule the world if they were the size of grizzly bears? Does the answer to that question reflect on the value of weight-cutting in MMA? And does that explain why Anthony "Rumble" Johnson was so easily able to handle Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy at UFC Fight Night 24 last weekend? What about Phil Davis vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueria? Has wresting so totally taken over MMA that jiu-jitsu is basically irrelevant? What about Chang Sung Jung and his twister submission over Leonard Garcia? Was that justice or what? Was that proof of the value of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu? Absolutely not! Tune in and hear all about these things, as formed into off-topic rants and bizarre tirades that endlessly circle about before turning on themselves and going nowhere. Doesn't that sound like an entertaining way to spend your night? Half of the fun is finding out! Wait a second, let's not forget that a brand new season of "The Ultimate Fighter" is underway, with another house filled with testosterone and alcohol. What will happen? Your guess is as good as ours. Hear what went down in the first show, and what lays in store for the upcoming episodes. Then, hang on as Mark Pavelich joins the show to talk about his upcoming card for "MFC 29: Conquer" where Hermes Franca, Terry Martin and Marcus Davis take on local Canadian talent, and round out a card that's sure to go down like a throwdown. Plus, you do not want to miss what the MFC is calling their new cage! Honestly, you'll never guess. Shut the doors and unplug the phone. You won't want to be disturbed once you are on this thrill-ride!yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110331.mp3?ref=rssFri, 01 Apr 2011 04:45:00 GMT01:08:53MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC Fight Night Review, Mark Pavelich InterviewJeff MeszarosUFC 128 Review and Mike Pyle InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris debate the insanity that was "UFC: Shogun vs. Jones". First, it's time to gloat over how wrong James was that Shogun would win. What was he thinking? Tune in and hear his logic and how wrong it turned out to be. Then, hang on as we ask the big questions like "Can anyone beat Jon Jones?" and "Who can beat Jon Jones?" which might really be the same question, but still just as valid. We toss a few names around and chat about the upcoming Rashad Evans vs. Jon Jones bout. Can two guys who were sparring partners on the same team really participate in a fight where nobody knows who is the favorite? Listen and hear the short answer. We also discuss the rest of the card including the Nate Marquardt vs. Dan Miller fight, the Urijah Faber vs. Eddie Wineland fight and what we both hope is the last time we see Mirko "Cro Cop" Filopovic in the Octagon. Again, c'mon. Don't think we're smart enough to be credible? You might be right, so we bring in Mike "Quicksand" Pyle to chat about his recent match vs. Ricardo Almeida and share his thoughts on the hot topics, including Jones vs. Evans, Couture vs. Machida, GSP vs. Silva, Silva vs. Jones and more. Also, he chats about his movie career and how nice it is getting paid to pretend to fight. It's another show jam-packed with mediocrity and frosted with misinformation.yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110322.mp3?ref=rssWed, 23 Mar 2011 04:05:00 GMT01:01:39MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC 128, Mike PyleJeff MeszarosUFC 128 Preview and Joe Doerksen InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris share their predictions for the next UFC event, where the terrifying fast-rising monster Jon Jones faces legendary living legend "Shogun" Rua for the light-heavyweight belt. What should fans expect? No one is sure -- especially us. Tune in and hear our supporting arguments for picking either Jones or Rua, as well as a host of other illogical reasons that no one can explain or even explain as relevant. Then, after riding that horse into the sunset, we move on to chat about the other fights on the event, like Mirko "Cro Cop" vs. Brenden Shaub. Is it Sakuraba-esque that "Cro Cop" is still fighting? Or can the Croatian land one final head kick to cap off his career. Answer: Probably not. Also, what about Urijah Faber? Does his chin look exactly like a tiny bum or what? Plus, who is this guy he is fighting? Is he going to beat Faber and ruin his welcome to the Octagon? Plus what about Dan Miller vs. Nate Marquardt? Damn, that one is impossible to predict. Or is it? Hang on as we share our thoughts, and for an added kick in the shorts we bring by UFC veteran Joe Doerksen to discuss his upcoming fight in Australia vs. Hector Lombard. That's a fight sure to be entertaining. Listen as Doerksen shares his thoughts, expert analysis and witty comments, both for his fight and the UFC card that awaits us this weekend. Bang! Snap! Zoom! Which of these words doesn't belong? Listen and find out. Hint: the it might be all of them.yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110315.mp3?ref=rssWed, 16 Mar 2011 03:59:00 GMT01:15:17MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC 128 Preview, Joe DoerksenJeff MeszarosUFC Live 3: Sanchez vs. Kampmann Review, Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Feijao Review and Jim Miller InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris discuss the results of UFC Live 3: Sanchez vs. Kampmann, where Diego Sanchez won a controversial unanimous decision over Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann. Was it a bad decision? Did Sanchez do anything to warrant the outcome? What critieria did the judges use to make that call? Were they wrong? Tune in and find out how things went down according to us! Then hang on as we discuss the C.B. Dolloway vs. Mark Munoz fight. Was that one stopped too early? Could Dollaway have recovered from that onslaught? Or was he clearly KO'd? Catch the ferocious debate about this fight and the rest, then hang on, because then we're throwing down on the Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Feijao show, where Henderson added one more belt to his impressive collection of waist-jewelry. What's going to happen now? Who will Henderson face next? What about the women's championship that went on? Would Marloes Coennen be able to do that again? Or would Liz Carmouche win a unanimous decision in a re-match, grinding down the champ like the "Girl-illa" she is? It's a good question! Also, what can you say about Melvin Manhoef? The man clearly isn't able to learn jiu-jitsu. What else is there to say? Like that isn't enough, we bring in Jim Miller to discuss his upcoming fight in the UFC against WEC cross-over Kamal Shalarous. What does Miller think of the Shogun vs. Jones bout? What about the rest of the card? Secrets are revealed! Tune in and hear the truth in all it's wonder and glory.yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110308.mp3?ref=rssWed, 09 Mar 2011 04:15:00 GMT01:11:09MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC Live 3: Sanchez vs. Kampmann Review, Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Feijao Review, Jim MillerJeff MeszarosUFC: Fitch Vs. Penn Review, UFC Live 3: Sanchez Vs. Kampmann Preview, Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson Preview, Tim Kennedy InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, it's a three-ring circus of mixed martial arts chatter! First, we review "UFC: Fitch Vs. Penn", which went down last weekend in Australia. Was that one really a draw? What about Bisping vs. Rivera? Was Bisping out of line for his post-fight antics? Was the UFC responsible for all the crap-talking that Rivera was throwing at "The Count"? We're not sure, but it seems very likely! Then it's time to talk about this Thursday's "UFC Live 3: Sanchez Vs. Kampmann" where Diego Sanchez takes on Martin Kampmann in the main event. Will Kampmann kick off Sanchez' head right off his shoulders? What about the other fights? Tune in and join the festival of banter. Then, hang on as we talk about "Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson" which happens on Saturday. Will Dan Henderson KO Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante with the same brutality he used on "Babalu" Sobral? Or will the Brazilian champion keep both his belt and his consciousness? It's hard to say. Yes! Three events in one show. That has to be some kind of record. And as if that isn't enough, we call up Tim Kennedy; who faces Melvin Manhoef this Saturday. If that isn't a show and two-thirds, you don't know your fractions!yesnohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110301.mp3?ref=rssWed, 02 Mar 2011 04:30:00 GMT01:14:09MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC: Fitch Vs.

First, it's time to pick the winners for "UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch" where B.J. Penn and Jon Fitch will clash to see who will be the next top-contender at welterweight. Will Penn be able to submit or knock out Fitch? Or will the wrestler drag the Hawaiian into a unanimous decision beating, the kind which he has trademarked while leaving a path of destruction in the 170lb division. Should we have ended that sentence with a question mark? Who knows? We answer most of these questions and then move on to the co-main event where U.K. standout Micheal "The Count" Bisping takes on Jorge "El Conquistador" Rivera. Why is this fight happening? Does the UFC matchmaker dislike the Brit? Does he have anything whatsoever to gain by fighting the dangerous dark horse? Your guess is as good as ours, but our guesses are broadcast for everyone to hear. Then we move along to chat about the rest of the card, again meandering off-topic now and then to keep things interesting. Speaking of interesting, we catch up with former WEC champion "Razor" Rob McCullough to talk about his upcoming bout in the Bellator lightweight tournament, the winner of which gets a hundred thousand dollars and a shot at champion Eddie Alvarez. What? Oh, yes, friends. It's true. Tune in and hear all about that; plus Razor's ideas about the difference between Muay Thai and MMA. Oh, snap.

Is Fedor done for good? Or will his management force him to keep fighting against his will? What about Arlovski? After an equally-terrifying knockout loss to Sergei Kharitonov, should he hang up his four-ounce gloves for good? We certainly hope so. Tune in and find out why, like there's any mystery about our reasons. Hint: We don't want to watch him die. Getting back to Fedor, does that guy need to learn some jiu-jitsu or what? Is he going to improve his ability to hang with guys like Werdum and Silva on the ground? Why wasn't Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueria able to do that when he fought Fedor years ago in Pride? Don't miss our guesses and finger-pointing as we try to explain it. What about the other fights? What happened there? We cover most of it, then we move on to chat with Ultimate Fighter veteran Nick Ring, who makes his UFC debut next week against DEEP champion Riki Fukuda. Catch the wacky banter as we take a trip down memory lane, touching on the time Ring fought Jeff, a riot that later nearly happened, and the always-engaging topic of knee surgeries and sobering conversations with concerned doctors. All this, plus his thoughts on the match, memories of being in the TUF house and almost-predictions for the rest of the card. If this show was soup, it would be "Mmmmm good"!nonohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110216.mp3?ref=rssThu, 17 Feb 2011 02:31:00 GMT01:09:32MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva, Nick Ring InterviewJeff MeszarosUFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort Review, UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch Preview, Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva Preview and Chris LytleOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris debate the issues of "UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort" where Anderson Silva defended his belt in incredible fashion, knocking out Vitor Belfort with a front-kick to the face that he said he got from Steven Seagal. Is that insane or what? What the heck is going on there? Is that a joke or what? Tune in and hear the ferocious debate then hang on as we discuss the other issues such as: Why was Seagal wearing protective-shooting glasses? Also, what was the deal with the mask that Silva wore to the weigh-ins? Then it's time to turn to the fight between Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin. Can anything even be said about that? Not so much, so we move on to chat about Jon "Bones" Jones. Is he like a character out of Street Fighter 2? Which one? What's going to happen when he fights Mauricio "Shogun" Rua next month? Opinions vary. Then, after a smattering of other statements, we move on and talk about "Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva" where Fedor Emelianenko will attempt to end his losing streak of one fight by smashing yet another opponent who suffers from gigantism. Plus, Andrei Arlovski takes on Sergei Kharitonov. What's going to happen there? Who will they face for the next level of the heavyweight tournament? Tune in and drink in the info-tainment. Then hang on as Chris "Lights Out" Lytle stops by to share his thoughts on the Silva/Seagal situation, plus his upcoming fight against Carlos Condit in Australia as well as the rest of the card for "UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch". If that isn't enough of a show to satisfy your hunger for mediocre podcasting then you're officially unreasonable.nonohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110207.mp3?ref=rssTue, 08 Feb 2011 04:24:00 GMT01:12:27MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort Review, UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch Preview, Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva Preview, Chris LytleJeff MeszarosStrikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg Review, UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort Preview and Mike Pierce InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris run down "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg", where Nick Diaz beat Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos to retain his welterweight belt. Why did "Cyborg" go for a takedown at the end of the round? Who did Diaz swear at when the fight was over? Tune in and hear our unfounded assumptions, then stick around as we attempt to answer more irrelevant questions. What about the fight with "Jacare" vs. Robbie Lawler? Did the jiu-jitsu ace break the will of the knockout brawler? Did that exact thing happen in the fight between Roger Gracie and Trevor Prangley as well? Is there even any point talking about the fight with Hershel Walker? Probably not, so we move on to preview the card for "UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort" where Anderson Silva is facing fellow super-striker Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort; but is Belfort really on the same level as Silva? Or will he get badly out-classed by the champion? What about Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin? Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader? Listen to our unbiased selections, then hang around as UFC fighter Mike Pierce stops in to talk about his upcoming fight on the same card and share his thoughts on the rest of the fights.

Did we see that coming? Absolutely not. Now, it's time to reflect on how wrong we were and review the rest of the event, where Matt Mitrione smashed Tim Hague and Pat Barry devoured Joey Beltran, nearly dropping "The Mexicutioner" with leg kicks. Let's not forget about Mark Hominick's destruction of former training partner George Roop, which took second-place in the worst beating of the night only to Matt Wiman's 15-minute annihilation of Cole Miller, which started out terrible and then got worse with every minute that went by. Then, it's time to chat about this weekend's Strikeforce event, where Nick Diaz is set to face Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos (no, not the girl) in a fight to crown the welterweight champion. Will Diaz be able to handle the aggression of the Brazilian? What about the co-main event, where Robbie Lawler and "Jacare" De Souza meet for the middleweight belt? Will Lawler get submitted? Or will he knock out the jiu-jitsu ace with a terrifyingly cruel clubbing? What about Roger Gracie vs. Trevor Prangley? Is there anything to say about that fight other than Prangley should not go to the ground? We answer that question and several others, some of which are kind of irrelevant. Then we move on to talk with Shawn Tompkins about all the same topics, except this time with the insight of an expert coach.

Is fighting in a cage anything like fighting in the battlefield? The UFC would like you to think so but honestly we're not so convinced. Then it's time to talk about the fight card. What's going to happen when Melvin "The Young Assassin" Guillard fights Evan Dunham? How about in the heavyweight match between Tim Hague and Matt Mitrione? What about Pat "HD" Barry vs. Joey "The Mexicutioner" Beltran? Should Barry's nickname be changed if he fights on a regular TV channel instead of in High Definition? Speaking of which, is a movie really 3D just because you need to wear 3D glasses to watch it? Again, we're not so sure. Tune in and hear us wander from topic to topic, discussing the UFC fights as well as film reviews, the relative careers of pro-wrestlers and whether or not certain fighters look like certain characters from the movie "The Goonies". Damn, it's a compelling argument, isn't it? Maybe. Like that's not enough, Strikeforce fighter Trevor Prangley stops by to chat about his upcoming match against Roger Gracie, his training for the fight and what he thinks about upcoming matches featuring his American Kickboxing Academy team-mates Cain Velasquez and Jon Fitch.

Will Dos Santos smash Lesnar? Can Lesnar learn enough striking to deal with the onslaught the Brazilian will bring to the cage? Tune in and hear what we think, then hang around as we roll onto the topic of the Strikeforce heavyweight tournament, where Alistair Overeem will take on Fabricio Werdum and Fedor Emelianenko will face Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. Who will reign supreme? Can Overeem retain his title as he runs through the tournament? What about Josh Barnett vs. Brett Rogers? Or Andrei Arlovski vs. Sergei Kharitonov? Will any of these fights look like a scene from "Best of the Best" part 2 (or 3?). We're not sure but we're ready to discuss it with a level of strict sobriety that borders on tedious. Then, hang on as we bring in Dr. Rhadi Ferguson, who just won his third professional mixed martial arts fight in Strikeforce. What's it like talking to a man who went to the Olympics twice and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in mechanical engineering? Tune in and hear for yourself. Wow. It's another show worth telling your neighbors about even if they're still mad that your cat craps in their rose garden.nonohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_110112.mp3?ref=rssThu, 13 Jan 2011 04:25:00 GMT01:17:46MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, MMA News, Strikeforce Preview, Rhadi FergusonJeff MeszarosUFC 125 Review, K-1 Dynamite Review and Tim Hague InterviewOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros and co-host James Kellaris review the big events that wrapped up 2010. First, it's time to talk about UFC 125: Resolution, where Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard fought to a draw. Was that a good decision? Is anyone interested in seeing a rematch? What's going to happen with Anthony "Showtime" Pettis. He was supposed to fight the winner! Good grief, what a mess. Then, it's time to talk about the fight between Chris Leben and Brian Stann. Wow. Was that a fluke? Or would Stann KO Leben ten times out of ten? Maybe both those statements are lies. Tune in and hear about all the fights on the card, including Clay Guida's drubbing of Takanori Gomi. Then hang around as we run down the card for K-1 Dynamite, where Kazushi Sakuraba didn't die, Alistair Overeem KO'd his last-minute opponent and a host of other crazy stuff happened. Like that's not enough, we also interview Tim "The Thrashing Machine" Hague and talk about his upcoming fight against Matt Mitrione at the UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 event, going down in a few weeks.

Will Edgar get his revenge on the only man to hand him a loss? Will Maynard repeat his performance and take the title? Listen and hear what we think, then stick around as we run down the rest of the card. Will Chris "The Crippler" Leben knock out Brian Stann? Will "The All American" defeat the UFC poster boy? What about Brandon Vera? Will "The Truth" out-strike Thiago Silva? What about Clay Guida vs. Takanori Gomi? Can "The Carpenter" douse the flame of "The Fireball Kid"? Listen in to hear us answer these questions and more, as well as share a rousing holiday message regarding fresh chickens and drunk driving. Then, stick around as Clay Guida joins the show to talk about his thoughts on Gomi and the rest of the card, as well as his plans for the future.

Will anyone ever be able to do that same jumping kick again? Was it a one-time thing? How many people have injured themselves trying to do that same thing by bouncing off unstable surfaces? These are just a few questions to ask. Also, what is up with Dominic Cruz vs. Scotty Jorgensen? Was that a vivid re-enactment of child abuse? Now what will happen with the WEC fighters heading to the Ultimate Fighting Championship; where Pettis will fight the winner of Gray Maynard vs. Frankie Edgar for the UFC belt? Tune in and hear all this; plus valuable tips on how to do all your Christmas shopping in one hour no matter how many people you have to shop for. What's the secret? Here's a hint: Don't care much about what you get them. Speaking of not caring, if Kazushi Sakuraba keeps fighting, he's going to die but Dream doesn't care and they're throwing him into the ring again; this time against Marius Zaromskis on New Year's Eve. Also, word is Alistair Overeem is fighting Todd Duffee on the same card. What's going to happen there? Is this the first time that an MMA fighter has won the K-1 Grand Prix Tournament Championship? Or is Overeem basically a kickboxer who has had an awful lot of success in MMA? Hear these questions ferociously debated and catch the rest of the Dream card, which also features Shinya Aoki, Bob Sapp and Josh Thomson vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri. Then, hang around as Jim Miller stops in to chat about his recent win in the octagon and his thoughts on the WEC and UFC merger, plus the upcoming lightweight title fight. Ho ho ho.

Did everyone expect this? Not exactly, as most people expected GSP to out-wrestle K-os again rather than peck him to death like an angry duck. Who will GSP fight next? Is there any point even watching any more of his fights? Tune in and hear the answers. Also, why did the co-main event feature two fighters pulled from obscurity? Why wasn't Thaigo Alves vs. John Howard the co-main event? We have our suspicions. You won't want to miss hearing them. Hint: It has something to do with Brock Lesnar. Then, we go on to chat about the rest of the card, sharing our semi-interesting opinions on all the fights. Then, just when you thought things could not get more mediocre, we're joined by Phil "The New York Badass" Baroni, who is returning to the Octagon on January 1st. Tune in and hear who he's facing and catch his opinions on the high-points of his career. From the UFC to Pride, to Strikeforce and Elite XC, he's fought literally everywhere.

Also, Paul Daley was able to knock out Scott Smith just like we feared he would, and Robbie Lawler nearly killed Matt Lindland just like we suspected he would. Then again, Mike Kyle nearly knocked out Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and we didn't see that coming at all. Tune in and hear exactly that, but with much more humor and intrigue; plus a few poorly-researched details. Then, hang around as we skip over to talk about The Ultimate Fighter Finale, where Jonathan Brookins was able to out-point Micheal Johnson in a match that literally no one is talking about, after a season of The Ultimate Fighter that nobody seemed to care about, including us. What we do care about, however, is how the sport in nose-diving into and abyss of nonsensical decisions thanks to a crew of judges who we can only assume have the approximate wisdom of chimpanzees when it comes to an overall ability to understand who won and who lost a fight. Catch the rant, then stick around for further ranting as we run down the rest of the fights on the card. Like that's not enough info-tainment for the show, we also preview the next UFC, where welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre is geared up to defend his belt against the uber-heel Josh Koscheck. What's going to happen there? What about the rest of the card? We'll run it down for you. Then, wait a second, we're not done? No, as Joe "El Dirte" Doerksen comes by to talk about his fight on the card against Jim Miller and share his thoughts on the main event, his last fight and how he's trained for his latest fight in the UFC.

Who is the guy that Stephan Bonnar is fighting? How do you even pronounce his name? What is he doing on the main event? Does this reek of Rashad Evans vs. Sean Salmon? What about the rest of the event? Then it's time to talk about "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu 2" where Dan Henderson faces Renato "Babalu" Sobral for the second time in his career. Will he be able to handle Sobral for a second time? What happened in their first fight? Does that even matter? Tune in for the answers to these burning questions, as well as a smattering of off-topic banter. Then hang around as we discuss the rest of the card, where Matt "The Law" Lindland fights Robbie Lawler and Antonio "Big Foot" Silva faces Mike Kyle.

Was the decision to give "Rampage" the win a good one? We can't decide. At first, we think it wasn't. Then maybe it was. Then, again, there is no way it was a good idea. Or Maybe not. Damn our indecisiveness. Also, what is up with the face that Machida makes in the Octagon? Seriously, he looks terrified. Speaking of weird faces, what is up with BJ Penn? Why don't his eyes don't blink at the same time? That's a sign of something, but we're not sure what. Was the "Hawaiian Punch" that Penn landed on Hughes a fluke? Our opinion: Of course not! In fact, anyone who suggests that should be punched in the jaw themselves. Also, is Phil Davis the scariest person you've ever seen fighting in the UFC ever? We think maybe he is, despite his seemingly pleasant demeanor. Tune in and hear our thoughts on this and more plus more off-topic banter than any show should contain. Then stick around as Krzysztof "The Polish Experiment" Soszynski stops in for a friendly chat. What does he think of his recent win in the UFC? What about the Okami vs. Marquardt decision?

Was that the worst decision in the history of MMA? Or did Marquardt badly drop the ball for the umpteenth time by easing off on the aggression in the third round, when he should have been pouring it on like nobody's business? Why does Marquardt seem to always lose fights to determine the next title-shot contender? Does UFC president Dana White have a valid point when he blames Marquardt's coaches for his losses? What about Okami? Does he stand a chance against Anderson Silva? Is that the fight he'll get? Or will Vitor Belfort run through "The Spider" to take the UFC title and face Okami for the belt? These are all legitimate questions, worth considering. Was the rest of the card worth watching? Or was it just a bunch of tomato-cans lined up on a fence post to get shot down by the UFC's golden boys? Is that a poetic way of saying the card stunk like a skunk stuck in a muffler? Maybe. But before we clarify anything, we move on to chat about the next UFC: Rampage vs. Machida, where "Rampage" Jackson and Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida face each other in a battle between street thug power-bombs and one-punch-one-kill karate. How do the former champs stack up against one another? Will "Rampage" be able to catch the elusive karate expert? Or will he get both his orbital bones broken while chasing Machida around the Octagon? Tune in and hear what we think, plus catch our opinion on BJ Penn vs. Matt Hughes and the rest of the card. Then, stick around for a rousing interview with Jay "The Thorobred" Hieron, who just signed with Bellator.

Also, his Alpha-male team-mates step into the cage as Joseph Benevidez faces Wagney Fabiano and Chad Mendes fights Javier Vasquez. Will the wild-striking and crazy guillotines of the pocket-size wrestlers be too much for the jiu-jitsu fighters to handle? Tune in and hear what we think!

We're leaving the main card for next week, kind of, but we'll run down the matches for the preliminary card this week, where fighters like Vladimir "the Janitor" Matyushenko, Kyle Noke and Kris "The Savage" McKray make Octagon appearances against opponents who may, or may not, be on their level.

First, we compliment each other on our stunningly-accurate predictions for the main event, where Cain Velasquez put a merciless beating on the 265-pound behemoth to take the title. Was that so easy to see coming? In one word, yes. Then again, who can predict what will happen in a fight? Two words: We can. What's next for Velasquez? What about Junior Dos Santos? What about Lesnar? Will he go "back to the drawing board"? Can he draw? It's a valid question as not everyone is able to learn from their mistakes, or even realize what their mistakes are. Then it's time to talk about the co-main event, where Jake Shields looked as tired as an athsma-stricken triathlete while smothering Martin Kampmann en route to winning a split decision. What will happen with Shields now? Will he face Georges St. Pierre next? Or will it be Josh Koscheck? We'll just have to wait and see. Hang on as we run down the whole card, including the Tito Ortiz vs. Matt Hamill fight and the match between Gabriel Gonzaga and Brenden Schaub, then join us as Jiu-Jitsu phenom Robert Drysdale stops in to chat about Armageddon Fighting Championship, where he'll be stepping into the cage for his second-ever pro-MMA fight.

Tune in and hear the inflammatory answers to these questions, plus a rundown of the rest of the card including an explanation of the fight between Carlos Condit and Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy where Condit knocked Hardy out cold, despite getting hit with the exact same punch just seconds before. Also, if you were perplexed by the outcome of Mike Pyle vs. John Hathaway, you weren't the only one; but we called that one dead-on, my friend. Why was Hathaway out-classed by Pyle but totally able to shut down Diego Sanchez in an earlier fight? We've got a theory you've got to hear. Plus, what was up with Cheick Kongo constantly grabbing the shorts of Travis Browne? What fight were the judges watching? How was that a draw?

Tune in and catch the grisly details as they banter about how they felt ripped off, even though neither of them actually ordered the event themselves. How is that possible? Your guess is as good as anyone's. Also, what's up with Sean Sherk? Can anyone choke him? Good lord. What about Chris Lytle vs. Matt Serra. Was that a good fight or what? Answer: That was a good fight, and perhaps the only thing that kept UFC 119 from stinking like a fish cannery on fire. Then it's time to move onto Dream 16 where Jason "Mayhem" Miller beat up Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba in a fight that really was just abuse of a senior citizen. Listen in and hear two grown men discuss the sadness of it all in an appropriately somber mood, then get back in gear for the rest of the card which, in Japanese matchmaker style, was appropriately bizarre. If that's not enough to twist your cap, hang around as Chris Lytle joins the show again to talk with us about his win over Serra, his thoughts on the show and what a boxer needs to do to be effective in an MMA fight.

Will Marquardt be able to avoid the leglocks and chokes of the monster grappler from Rio? Can he stop "Toquinho" from twisting off one of his feet? Tune in and hear the opinions, heavily spiced with off-topic blather. Then stick around as the rest of the card is inspected with CSI-like attention-to-detail; as Jim Miller takes on American Top Team's Gleison Tibau and Cole Miller faces Ross Pearson. Plus, Ultimate Fighter winner Efrain Escudero returns to face submission specialist Charlies Oliveira, coming off a 41-second schooling of his last opponent. Wowzers! As if that isn't enough to feed your mixed martial arts sweet tooth, hang on as Jim Miller joins the show to give us his thoughts on his next opponent, plus insight on the rest of the event. Listen as we ask him the hard questions about whether or not he'd fight his team-mate and current UFC champion Frankie Edgar. Oh, snap! Tune in and rejoice.nonohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_100910.mp3?ref=rssSat, 11 Sep 2010 03:39:00 GMT01:03:48MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC Fight Night 22 Preview, Jim MillerJeff MeszarosUFC 118 Review and Trevor PrangleyOn 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.

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.

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.

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.nonohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_100812.mp3?ref=rssFri, 13 Aug 2010 04:55:00 GMT01:16:31MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, UFC 117 Review, WEC Preview, Bart PalaszewskiJeff MeszarosUFC Jones Vs.

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.

Will it be "Rampage" Jackson, the hard-hitting, trash talking street fighter or "Suga" Rashad the former TUF winner and technical athlete? Tune in and hear what factors may or may not need to be considered. What about Michael "The Count" Bisping vs. Dan Miller? Can Bisping bounce back from his losses to Wanderlei Silva and Dan Henderson? What about Miller? Will he take his third loss in a row after losing to Chael Sonnen and Demian Maia?It's not an easy question to answer, but we do our best. Hear the jabber, plus the banter on the rest of the show, which includes the returns of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Amir Sadollah. Like that's not enough info-tainment, hang around for a look at Dream 14, which features Nick Diaz vs. Hayoto "Mach" Sakurai and Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Ralek Gracie, not to mention some other fights which are bound to be insane. Good gravy, and after all this we still have an interview with Jonathan Chaimberg, conditioning coach to the MMA stars.

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.

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?

Did Mauricio "Shogun" Rua get totally robbed in the first fight? Is anything going to be any different this time? Or will Machida keep his undefeated record in tact, possibly with the help of another questionable judges' decision? What about the undercard, where Josh Koscheck pits his wrestling skills and new-found striking ability against Paul "Semtex" Daley, who packs Dy-no-mite in his hands. Has the UFC made a terrible mistake by matching fan-favorite Kimbo Slice against Matt "Meathead" Mitrione? What about Patrick "The Predator" Cote vs. Alan "The Talent" Belcher? It's a card worth chatting about, to be sure. Once you're tired of the fan-boy fight chatter, hang around as Joe "El Dirte" Doerksen stops in to give us the update on the latest fights in his career, his return to the UFC Octagon, as his next fight against Tom "Filthy" Lawler. Who wins the battle between "El Dirte" and "Filthy"? When hygiene is equally absent, skill is the next card in play.

Will he go to the UFC? What if he fights Georges St. Pierre? Will Strikeforce even be around long enough to recover from this? What was up with the riot at the end of the show? Were the Diaz brothers to blame for upping the ante from a schoolyard shoving match to a prison-style riot? There are certainly enough questions to answer to fill a podcast. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a World Extreme Cagefighting coming up on the weekend. Catch the predictions as Jose Aldo takes on Urijah Faber for the championship belt, plus Ben Henderson and Donald Cerrone tangle for a rematch of one of the best fights ever.

Did Jon "Bones" Jones truly school Brandon "The Truth" Vera? Or was he much too efficient to use the term "school" like that? How about Junior Dos Santos' knockout over Gabriel Gonzaga? Was that a "school"ing? Or Cheick Kongo's brutal beating of Paul Buentello? How much do Kongo's pectoral muscles weigh? Is that even relevant? Then, hang around as they chat about the card for "UFC 111: St. Pierre vs. Hardy." Will GSP do the same thing to Hardy as he does to everyone? Or does "The Outlaw" have a real shot at stealing the UFC welter-weight belt? What about Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir? Has Carwin fought anyone worth mentioning besides Gonzaga?Or is his 11-0 record padded with no-names? Tune in and hear the lively discussion, then stick around as UFC fighter Clay Guida stops in to talk about his latest match in the Octagon, and give his opinion on the upcoming matches in the UFC. You won't want to miss what "The Carpenter" has to say about UFC lightweight champ B.J. Penn.

First, was Dominic Cruz more like Mr. Fantastic or Spiderman with his win over Brian Bowles? And what about Joseph Benavidez' win over Miguel Torres? Did anyone expect that? Finally how would MMA history be different if Jens Pulver had starting learning BJJ back in the mid '90s? These are just a few of the topics that are sort-of discussed before the conversation derails entirely and somehow ends up on whether or not Manny Pacquiao could defeat a wild coati, also known as a South American snookum bear, in a boxing match. Craziness abounds, as intelligent commentary is swept aside. Then, just because we need some seriousness here, UFC veteran Chris "Lights Out" Lytle stops in for a while to chat about his recent win at the UFC event in Australia and share his predictions for the next show, which features Brandon Vera vs. Jon Jones in the main event.nonohttp://media.podcastingmanager.com/38753-82434/Media/fcf_podcast_100311.mp3?ref=rssFri, 12 Mar 2010 02:00:00 GMT00:51:47MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, Podcast, FCF Radio, WEC Review, Chris LytleJeff MeszarosSengoku Preview, WEC Preview, Chad George and Sarah KaufmanOn this episode of Full Contact Fighter Radio, host Jeff "Wombat" Meszaros seems unusually absent-minded while discussing the fights coming up for the weekend with co-host James Kellaris.

In the main event, Brazilian jiu jitsu master and former Pride Fighting champ Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira takes on American Kickboxing Academy ground and pound monster Cain Velasquez, who hasn't been knocked out or submitted in his career, partly because his skull is twice as thick as the average human's but also partly because he has never faced anyone who is even close to Nogueira's caliber before.

What about Herschel Walker and Bobby Lashley? Were their opponents hand-picked tomato-cans chosen like lambs for the slaughter? Hear the answers to these questions and more, then stick around for a rousing run-down of the upcoming UFC show.

Then, as quick as a bunny, we move on to preview the preliminary card for the next UFC, where Randy Couture is set to fight Marc Coleman in a battle between aging wrestlers. Before we get to that, though, we have to talk about the "may not be broadcast" fights earlier on the show, like Mustapha Al Turk vs. Rolles Gracie and Tim Hague vs. Chris Tuscherer. Damn, we hope those are broadcast. Why? Listen and find out, then hang on as Chael Sonnen stops in to talk about his match vs. Nate Marquardt and give his thoughts on Couture vs. Coleman. If you've ever heard Sonnen do an interview before, you know he's not afraid to pull punches. Hear why he thinks Coleman is a "bum" and why he thinks Hammer House is a joke. Ohhhhh! Trash talk.

In the main event, Nick Diaz takes on Marius Zaromskis for a battle between crazy strikers. Will the fight go to the ground where Diaz has the advantage? Or will it stay on the feet, where Zaromskis could score his fourth KO win in a row with his insane savage kicks. It's a question to ponder! Also, hear a rousing discussion about the fight between Cris "Cyborg" Santos and her opponent Marloes Coenen. Is Coenen doomed? What about the match between Robbie "The Hurt Machine" Lawler and Melvin Manhoef? You know someone is getting KO'd for that one! Plus football star Herschel Walker and pro-wrestling titan Bobby Lashley step into the Strikeforce cage. Are those going to be worth watching? The answer is either yes, no or maybe; depending on who you are.

Then, stick around as American Kickboxing Academy's grappling coach and Guerilla jiu jitsu founder Dave Camarillo joins the show to talk about judo, jiu jitsu, wrestling, MMA and how they all fit together in his system; which he has passed along to Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck and Mike Swick, just to name a few.
