"Beatdown" and "The Savage Dog Show" had busy days Wednesday on The Sherdog Radio Network,
On "Beatdown" Jack, Lotfi and myself provided the usual "insight and hilarity." However we were joined by a pair of UFC fighters who are entering the biggest fights in their careers.
Jon Jones will be facing Brandon Vera this Sunday in Colorado. "Bones" talks about his road to being a main event fighter and what he has experienced since moving his training camp to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Dan Hardy is also starting a main event and super stardom right in the face. "The Outlaw" is looking to dethrone UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre at UFC 111. Hardy talks about the upcoming fight, being shadowed by a film crew, and his new relationship with former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra.
A man not foreign to main events himself is former King of the Cage champion and UFC title challenger Paul Buentello. "The Headhunter" looks to get back on the winning track against Frenchmen Cheick Kongo. Buentello shares his thoughts on the upcoming fight and where he is at as a fighter.
Wednesday, March 17 12:02 pm PT: John Danaher, Georges St. Pierre's jiu-jitsu coach, doesn't know why everyone has been so quick to write off Dan Hardy as a legitimate contender to his student's title.
In this exclusive video interview, the BJJ savant also touches on GSP's rumored flirtation with putting his MMA career on hiatus to chase his Olympic dream.
Wednesday, March 17 11:57 am PT: Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee heard about Brock Lesnar’s health issues via Paul Heyman at the Heyman Hustle, and the Fox News talk show host didn’t hesitate to echo Lesnar’s criticism of Canadian health care: “If it could nearly kill the toughest man in the world, think what it could do to you.”
