Today on MMA Nation on 106.7 The Fan: Nate Marquardt, SHINE Fights Update, the Week in Mixed Martial Arts


Live streaming video by Ustream

Remember, we are  now on: Sundays 9 to 11pm EST.

Today on MMA Nation we'll be joined by UFC middleweight contender Nate "The Great" Marquardt. We'll talk to Marquardt about his upcoming fight with Rousimar Palhares at UFC Fight Night 22, his loss to Chael Sonnen and who he thinks will win the rematch between Anderson Silva and Sonnen.

We'll also recap the week in MMA: Bellator's Warren vs. Soto, DREAM 16 match-ups, Manny Pacquiao talking MMA and more.

And, of course, we are taking YOUR CALLS throughout the entire show. So much to talk about, so get your thoughts in early and often.

"MMA Nation" will air tonight 9:00pm EST to 11:00pm EST on 106.7 The Fan. To listen live over the Internet, go to The Fan's website and click "Listen Live".

I'm also on Twitter: @mmanation.

AS A NEW FEATURE: We'll stream the show live over UStream.tv. Here's my channel. I'll embed the live stream player in this post when the show begins. If you want to ask a question for us to answer on air, leave a question in the comments section. We'll get to all of them.

"MMA Nation" is also available by podcast on iTunes. For now, iTunes is disabled, but the show will be posted on the station's website soon afterward. I'll be sure to put a post up when they're ready to go. And when we're back on iTunes, I'll put up a link to that as well.

Talk to you then.

Luke,

I am wondering if Nate has found holes in Palhares’ stand up game that he feels he can exploit early in the fight like he did against Maia or if he is more concerned about the takedown in this fight and may not open up on the feet as much.

Also, PLEASE ask him if there is anything input he may have on the Carwin PED story. I know it may not endear you to him very much but I think he has the ability to speak about it not only as a training partner but as a former user himself.

I know MMANation RARELY covers boxing (and frankly IDK any shows that cover boxing like MMANation does MMA) but could you speak on Mayweather’s actions on the Ustream and predict what may or should happen?

What actions? What’d Mayweather say?

If Pacman directed similiar comments towards Mayweather in that manner Jesse Jackson and Rev Al would be on the warpath….like that bad. And it was offensive to Asians as a whole.

This.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

And I kinda agree about what Luke just said about the DC area.

Can Shine still put on a profitble show?

They’re going to have to forfeit the deposit to the Patriot Center, I’m not sure if any of the sponsors were local but they all must be out, and all ticket sales are out.

Is rescheduling the fight an effort to recoup some expenses and fulfill fighter and network contracts?

If someone in the Zuffa umbrella is going to get the fight, I wouldn’t think that MTB would get it. Urijah would be the first choice I would think, or Jose Aldo.

by xDieseLx on Sep 5, 2010 9:52 PM EDT reply actions  

Maybe Faber

But I don’t see them throwing Pacquiao in there with one of their champions. Too much of a risk, and to non-MMA or casual MMA fans Aldo isn’t any more of a draw than Faber.

Wonderful, I get to brace for Luke to shit on WKR as a whole, rather than the one guy who ran the Lavigne story(stories). I still got love for you Luke, I can’t hate you and your beard. Now, you could say that you were disappointed that it wasn’t pulled by the higher ups, but there’s quite a few people who you’ve verbally shat on who had nothing to do with it.

The Journal de Montreal is a sensationalist, tabloid newspaper

Albeit a large one here. I would not put it past them to bend the truth or outright lie to put out a controversial storyline and/or to defame someone (Saku Koivu, for those who follow hockey).

They make TMZ look like angels by comparison.

by dv8shun on Sep 5, 2010 11:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Actually, I’m pretty sure Mayweather makes like less than 1% of his income from sponsors. I’d have to track down the article but I believe Zach Arnold pointed out that Mayweather made only $70,000 on endorsements last year. This is amazing, considering his standing in boxing.

by Chromium on Sep 5, 2010 9:55 PM EDT reply actions  

How much average you think boxers take home?

Cause I always assumed they made millions but a lotta boxers ain’t ballin. I forget sometimes they gota pay promoters and trainers and such

by Krimson on Sep 5, 2010 9:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

I know most boxers make jack all in the sport. Mayweather makes tens of millions in the ring, is considered one of the top two p4p fighters in the world, yet he only makes a smidgeon of that in endorsements. I’m just pointing out the disparity on how the guy’s personality or whatever has made him pretty difficult to market to sponsors.
