Mike Easton and Yours Truly on News Channel 8 Tonight at 8pm

by Luke Thomas on Feb 19, 2009 5:51 PM EST in MMA News

To all those in the Washington, D.C. area, I'll be on NewsChannel 8's "Sports Talk" with Glenn Harris tonight from 8:00 - 8:30 p.m. Mike Easton and I will be on to shill for MMA and the UWC, but what else is new? Even though it's on television, the show is live and takes callers, so feel free to chat us up if you see us on. And by "us" I mean Mike.

I don't think DirecTV subscribers will be able to watch, but if you've got Comcast you should be golden. And, as always, thanks for the support.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Great job Luke, nice shout-out to Chad as well. I cringed at the Kimbo question but I guess it’s par for the course by now with mainstream broadcasters unfamiliar with MMA. Can’t wait for Saturday, keep up the good work.

The Beebe fight not happening

Chase was injured & is not even close to weight. Fight won’t happen.

What? Who are you to know this?

Need some details...

because I’m shocked if that is true and Luke and Nate are unaware at this point.

Beebe/Easton

Well he was recently cleared but the injury prevented him from training. He let the UWC know. This is no surprise to them but I don’t think they want to say anything for obvious reasons. Won’t happen @ 135.

Don’t shoot the messenger!

Interesting turn of events..How would Luke and Nate not know if he told someone at UWC?

Beebe/Easton

I haven’t talked to Chase directly so this is not 100. I heard this afternoon from more than a good sourse. Id literally put it at 97 & would be willing to bet a lot.

Either way I’m not pulling any type of prank.

Sorry. I wish/hope it isn’t true.

Hey Brent...

I hope I didn’t over step my boundries…

I kind of feel bad now. I just thought it was coming out in the next 12-18 hours anyway.

And I hope my info is anonymous.

No problem man...

check the front page. As Luke said, you did nothing wrong at all. You didn’t overstep in any way at all.

Sounds like you were just one step ahead of Luke, he was probably aware and just hadn’t spoken up yet.

This is terrible really, in the age of MMA when professionalism is on the rise…this happens? If you get injured and can’t train, get out of the fight…but if you wan to skip town because of a bigger payday (which won’t cover how much your gonna get sued)…thats just stupid.

A man is only as good as his word.
