As much as I'd like to leave the snow covered plains of Canada to attend a Sin City reception to celebrate John McCarthy's new job, I will be unable to attend.
I'll try to make it on to this Friday's conference call to announce Big John's new gig at The Fight Network though. This of course will be very big news if it turns out that his duties with the Canadian TV channel will correspond with his retirement from refereeing.
John McCarthy has been a part of the UFC almost since its inception. Have we heard the famous "let's get it on" for the last time?
Don't forget about tonight's big radio show!
Any Given Saturday returns TWICE this week, the first show being this Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST! In honor of the season finale of The Ultimate Fighter reality show, we're going to have Clay "The Carpenter" Guida stop by to tell us how he's preparing for his main event fight this Saturday against UFC-poster boy Roger "El Matador" Huerta.
Courtesy Ring and Cage Clothing, we'll also be giving away some gear!
Remember, Any Given Saturday is LIVE and TAKES YOUR CALLS!
Call-in number: 646-478-5091
