Would like to hear your thoughts on Paulo Filho's upcoming retirement
This is what he told Tatame according to MMA Fighting:
“I may fight in November because I already signed the contract, after that I will retire,” he tells Tatame. “I don’t want this anymore.”

I heard Roy Nelson has dropped a few kilos recently
Can anyone confirm or deny his current weight status?
What did you guys think of Inside MMA’s live debut?

Not very good.. those interviews with Mir and especially Nelson were just horrible, way too much delay. Other than that it was pretty much just like all their normal shows, but they really have to get rid of those mega-delayed remote interviews. Either do it before the show and edit, or find some better technology for it.

It was hilarious. Kenny Rice creaming his pants over Phil Davis was quite funny. He also demonstrated that he knew jackshit about the sport.

Yeah, I mean I like the show and I watch it every week, but Kenny Rice is a giant tool. I always kind of roll my eyes when he says on the show that you can his read columns or whatever on the HDNet homepage. Who on earth would voluntarily want to read what that man has to say?

I hope to God it was edited. It was horrendous. Watch it for comedic purposes.

Ask Danny what styles Duke blends together to get the unique acrobatic style that his camp is known for. Also, ask Danny what some of his favorite fights he has participated in are and what he took away from his Jeremy Stephens loss.

What does Dustin think he presents that will be able to defeat Tavares? What has he seen in Tavares that he has had to work on?

Damn, this will be Mr. Jacoby's 6th fight in 2011...
I’d like to know how he feels about staying so busy in general and also about having 5 out of 6 1st round stoppages (the other stoppage was 1/2 way into R2)
Sanchez vs. Kampmann.

WOW. Nice pull guys.
Ask Ben how much Duke Roufus’ camp has helped his striking and what else he has picked up from the camp.

Also, what are some of his goals after this Hieron fight? Who would he like to fight in some superfights, perhaps a move to the UFC, etc.?
Thanks for taking most of my questions, guys!

Listening to Ben speak live, he is actually a lot more well-spoken and friendly than the press paints him. Sure, he is arrogant, but that is a byproduct of being a champion. Good interview.

Ed on a possible Bisping Fight (Sherdog)
"I’ll be honest with you: I never even really thought of Bisping too much. Not that I didn’t respect him as a fighter — I do. It was just that it didn’t cross my mind because there’s so many things happening all the time. People talk about Chael and Brian Stann, and sometimes people are focused on the TUF show. But I think Bisping could be a good opportunity. GSP could be a good opportunity. There’s a lot of great opportunities, and I do think the Chael fight could potentially sell. It could be a big seller. I think it could be a huge pay-per-view. So I see all angles of it, but I’m just expressing what Anderson has talked to me about. That’s how he feels."

It doesn’t cross his mind because Bisping isn’t any good.

The more Ed Soares says along these lines
the less and less sense any of it makes sense.
Anyone else, is just STUPIDER!!!
Matt Bishop is more likely to get hit by falling space satellite pieces
than Silva vs. Sonnen II not happening.
Thanks everybody for listening!

I know i'm days late but i had to come in here because i'm listening now about the ridiculousness that ensued
1. Anderson v Sonnenn II not happpening would be biggest disappointment? That title goes to Fedor not coming to the UFC to fight Brock
2. Anderson being scared? You brining up the point that he had basically the same reaction to Hendo when he beat Bisping and wanted a title shot proves my point… Anderson does not like rematches for the title. Or do you think he was ducking Hendo also. He made an effort to say he only gave one to Franklin because he felt like that’s who he won the title from and he felt the need to return the favor of a title shot.
3. Him not taking the fight being an asterisk on his record? No. History will talk about Chael being 4-5 in the UFC and loses only to win one fight and get a rematch.
4. Discrediting Bisping for a Title shot because he cheated but not Chael? Come on… Cheal cheated WAYYYYYY worse than Bisping, and Wandys win over him was not decisive one bit i don’t even call it a loss and i hate Bisping.
5. “The guys been calling you out and you don’t respond” “These are fighting words” come on does he have to fight every guy that he has ALREADY beat again and again just because they call him out and use these fighting words about his wife.
6. Have to take Chael with a grain of salt because we all realize he’s just talking… Yeah sure until he talks about your nationality or your family. I think not responding is a perfect response for Anderson to have. He may be good on money and not concerned about 1 mil pay per view buys.
7. Why are you not interested in seeing Anderson going down to 175 to fight GSP since none of his Black House team mates are welterweights.
8. Listening to this btw made me think you guys may need to add me on the radio show btw :) I mean gotta have disagreements on radio not two people constantly agreeing with each other. I mean come on the other guy didn’t share an opposing opinion at all.
btw…fight wasn’t booked and wouldn’t have been booked with the Juice monkey getting caught.
I’m not resting until I’m officially Anderson Silva status.- Jon "Bones" Jones
I should have argued more instead of agreeing with him for everything, would have made better radio.
Usually Forrest Lynn is the counter-argument to everything but he wasn’t on the show other than the last 5 minutes. I’ll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for the healthy addition. I appreciate it!
