Fight Opinion Radio #38: Big Birthday Blowout Bonanza

By Zach Arnold | January 19, 2007

Potential sponsors (web sites, fighters, teams, companies) – if you want to have ads on our show (paid or barter), e-mail us immediately.

It’s the boss’s birthday and he’s in a good mood. This week’s Fight Opinion Radio show is 2 1/2 hours long, packed with a ton of news and comedy. Our special guests this week on the show include Caleb from The Fightworks Podcast, Jordan Breen, and Dave Doyle. All three guys were really great guests on this week’s show.

Dave joins us to discuss his MMA Top 10 Pound-for-Pound fighter list and the new MyNetworkTV deal that the IFL signed this week. Caleb joins us to discuss the future of MMA in the American marketplace (will UFC = MMA in the minds of casual fans? Caleb’s mainstream checklist for MMA is here). Jordan joins us to discuss the scandal that has rocked the Japanese fight scene, involving Yoshihiro Akiyama and Kazushi Sakuraba. If you are a casual fight fan who does not follow the Japanese scene very closely, pay close attention to Jordan’s interview segment. He does an amazing job of breaking down, from start to finish, the entire story (laying out the characters, promoters, and officials involved). In many ways, this segment will be something that listeners will be able to play back in 5 years and reference it for historical news material.

Since it is the boss’s birthday, you can make him happy by donating some money directly to the Fight Opinion project. Every donation is truly appreciated and you’ll more than likely get a personal response back from us with your site donation. The time to upgrade the server is coming very shortly, so the funds will be of great help to us in the process.

In addition to our three guest interviews, we have a tightly-packed show featuring the entire Fight Opinion Radio team. Segments include Randy Couture’s comeback to UFC (is it good or bad?), the future of PRIDE (Tommy Lee & car dealerships – you can’t beat that), and the world-famous grab bag (a tribute to skin lotion).
