Breen said something about you trying to convince a female wrestler to turn MMA after the Olympics?

Yeah

Stay tuned. I’m trying to get America’s greatest judoka Ronda Rousey to come on the show. Looks promising.

The Mayeda interview should make for an intelligent discussion….. i love MMA but don’t discount it’s negative aspects. like anything else it has it’s good with it’s bad, and it is disingenuous to talk up one while downplaying the other…....have you read the book, Luke? wonder if he would comp copies for review purposes?

He definitely would

It’s worth reading. It reads like a long dissertation from a structure point of view, but getting past that is easy. Email him and he’ll def send you a copy.
