MMA Nation Rewind: Tim Kennedy Talks Nick Thompson, Why Urijah Faber's Hand Doesn't Fully Explain His Loss and Tim Sylvia vs. Ray Mercer Talk

Mmanation_medium

There's a reason I didn't do any UFC 99 talk (check the comments), but the rest of the show went well:

I open the show with discussion of the Washington City Paper profile piece then go into detail about Faber vs. Brown II.

Tim Kennedy joins the show to talk Nick Thompson, back to training full time, the future of the Army Combatives program and more.

My producer Othello and I discuss the abortion that is Tim Sylvia vs. Ray Mercer and the culpability of Monte Cox in the sordid affair.

In the fourth segment, we discuss why Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg are not the top two female fighters in MMA and why Molly Qerim is significantly hotter than Gina Carano.

We end the show with a discussion of why the UFC Gyms could either be a over commercialized disaster or the types of initiatives that help bring MMA closer to the mainstream.

"MMA Nation" airs every Saturday 7:00pm EST to 9:00pm EST on 106.7 WJFK. To listen live over the Internet, go to WJFK's website and click "Listen Live".

I'm on Twitter now: @mmanation.

Why no UFC discussion?

The show was pre-recorded because I had to be out of town. Apologies.

Thanks for the rewind, btw

I usually don’t have time to listen to the whole show, so these rewinds are much appreciated.

yes indeed

the Tim Sylvia/Monte Cox segment is gold — other than the fight prediction. LOL.
I was wrong on that one too.

Yeah, the prediction is dead wrong, but of course, I don’t really feel bad about it in this case.

Gina Carano/Cyborg segment – “vigilant about upkeep”

That’s funny.
