by Luke Thomas on Mar 14, 2009 7:20 PM EDT in MMA News

Today on "MMA Nation" we'll be joined by boxing legend and MMA/boxing hybrid promoter Roy Jones, Jr. Roy will talk about his upcoming card, the Ken Shamrock fallout and why some established members of boxing or interested in becoming a part of MMA.

We'll also catch up with former WWE superstar turned MMA fighter Bobby Lashley. We'll ask him how he feels about his new opponent, why he chose to fight Shamrock and how he feels about Dana White's comments regarding how unlikely it will be that Lashley makes it to the UFC.

We'll also be giving a 30-day pass to train MMA at Evolve Academy.

Roy Jones should transition into MMA, hopefully he will realize how awesome that will be after this card.

Roy sounded a bit punch drunk during the recent 24/7 special on HBO. Hope it was me & this isn’t the case. I’ll be interested to hear him during Luke’s interview. Opinions?

He's not really been hit enough..

in his career to be punch drunk.

He’s really no different now than he ever was. He’s always been a laid-back talkin’ dude when he wasn’t yelling.

Boxing, MMA, and all sports have the same steroid problems

Roy Jones tested positive for steroids.

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2782402

“Roy Jones Jr. and Richard Hall both tested positive for the testosterone precursor androstenedione after Jones defeated Hall to retain his undisputed world light heavyweight championship in Indianapolis in 2000. Jones insisted his test was the result of ingesting the supplement Ripped Fuel.”

You guys wanna see some fan mail?

“You are a fucking bitch! How dare you talk like that about Roy Jones Jr, the second he hangs up from your pathetic show? You and your little fuck buddies just sound like stuck up, racist, white as can be, faggots. You guys must also do that show "the whitest kids you know”, right? Luke Thomas, you are a fucking joke and you probably fight worse than you do radio, disrespectful prick…."
