Fight Opinion Radio #87: Josh Barnett & Shayna Baszler

By Zach Arnold | August 3, 2008

They wanted to come on our show, so we gave them a not-so-cotton-candy Q & A session. Topics mentioned during the interview include: reports about Affliction pay cuts, will or will not Fedor fight on the second Affliction show, reasons for why Shayna got mauled by a woman named Cyborg, and why Shayna is all of a sudden buddy-buddy with Gina Carano. We’re not playing nice here on this week’s edition of the radio show.

The 87th edition of Fight Opinion Radio is now online and available to download. Download this week’s show here.

    Zach, you do a good job on the show. I would listen to it every day if you came out with it that often. However, I do miss Erin. Having three people on the show gives it another layer.

  2. Jeremy (not that Jeremy) says:

    Is it just me or does that link go to the show about Forrest vs Rampage?

  3. gary says:

    links to forrest rampage not bazler barnett hope u get the right one up soon i cant wait to hear it

    Ed. — It’s fixed now. Sorry.

  4. Zack says:

    Zach…good idea on leaving the comments open on your radio shows. I’ll download it now.

  5. MMA Ratings says:

    Well, when is it going to be up?

    Is that why Fight Opinon is getting killed in the MMA Radio show ratings:

    @MMARating

    Who cares, and 6th Place is not considered being “killed”. Damn, I remember a decade ago Beverly Hilly 92010 or whatever it was called was a rating killer too.. but only idiots watched that. Stick your ratings up your ass dude. lol.

  7. MMA Ratings says:

    regardless of “whocares” being an ass, 6th place is not bad at all. When I posted, it was much lower.

  8. MMA Ratings says:

    Zach, I meant to say, though that interview was a bit frustrating, props to you for calling Shayna on making excuses.
