UFC heavyweight number one contender Shane Carwin featured on tonight’s Pro MMA Radio

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Three time All-American wrestler and UFC heavyweight number one contender Shane Carwin will join us tonight at 9 p.m. ET on MMAmania.com’s exclusive presentation of Pro MMA Radio.

“The Engineer” will discuss the roller coaster ride he’s been on trying to nail down a date for his pending showdown with Brock Lesnar. The champ was forced to withdraw from UFC 106 after battling a lengthy illness that also led him to reject a tentative make-up date of Jan. 2 for UFC 108.

Hosted by Larry Pepe, Pro MMA Radio is professional, guest-driven program that features some of mixed martial arts biggest names.

If you’re looking for a radio show that revolves around a couple of MMA fans ranting and raving about everything that’s already been covered ad nauseam, then Pro MMA Radio probably isn’t for you.

However, if you want to hear from actual fighters and industry insiders answering questions that are relevant to the current MMA scene, tune in every Monday night at 9 p.m. ET for our exclusive live feed.

See you tonight at 9 p.m. ET!

Jon Fitch: ‘Waiting around for Thiago Alves to get better was not an option’

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Props: Pro MMA Radio

Quoteworthy:

“I needed to fight, I was (previously) scheduled for Nov. 21 and I’ve been training 5-6 weeks already. I don’t like a lot of down time, I like to fight often. Waiting around for Thiago (Alves) to get better was not an option. The last week has just been up and down, changing training camps from one day to the next and emotionally getting up and down for different opponents. Mike Pierce is not well know but sometimes these kinds of fights are harder than the high profile fights because people expect you to go out and smash a guy they don’t know so if you don’t, they hold it against you. This fight can very easily turn into one of my tougher fights.”

Former UFC welterweight number one contender Jon Fitch shares the frustration of undergoing multiple changes in both events and opponents after Ricardo Almeida and Thiago Alves both went down with knee injuries and were forced out of action. Now Fitch must face the unknown Mike Pierce, which as the former Purdue wrestling standout explains is perhaps more dangerous than a high profile opponent due to the limited scouting report and lofty expectations. Is Fitch in a no-win situation?

Antoni Hardonk is no prophet — but still predicts a good performance at UFC 104

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

“People ask me this all the time. I’m not a prophet like Muhammad Ali. I don’t know beforehand what’s going to happen, but I do know that I feel really comfortable with my game right now. I feel the strongest Antoni Hardonk I have ever been. So I focus on myself and I don’t know what my opponent is going to do. That’s up to him. That’s his responsibility, but I feel great and I am ready to give a really, really good performance and it’s going to be tough for him, that’s for sure.”

Antoni Hardonk discusses his upcoming UFC 104 fight against fellow kickboxer Pat Barry on MMAmania.com’s exclusive presentation of Pro MMA Radio. The fight is one of two featured undercard bouts that will make their way onto Spike TV as a prelude to the main card, which is headlined by the light heavyweight championship scrap between Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua. Hardonk entered UFC 97 on a three fight winning streak, only to have it cut short by Cheick Kongo. He looks to rebound with the Spike TV audience watching at 9 p.m. ET on Oct. 24.

WEC Quick Quote: Danny Castillo wants the WEC title — not revenge on ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone

Friday, October 16th, 2009

“Definitely, (a rematch with Donald Cerrone) would be a huge fight for me. There’s that saying — that revenge is a dish best served cold and that’s definitely a fight I would love to have back. But I want a title shot. I’m not worried about the “Cowboy.” I want to continue in the lightweight division and make a name for myself. The way it’s looking is I’ll probably have another fight. I don’t know what else I got to do. There’s not too many other guys in the division. They keep bringing guys in. They brought in Palaszewski, then Ricardo Lamas beat him and they threw him against me. I haven’t had an easy fight since I’ve been in the WEC. I hope that after this win on the eighteenth they give me a title shot. If not, I’m still getting paid the same no matter what. It doesn’t matter, whoever they put in front of me. If I have the proper amount of time, a great training camp and I’m healthy then I’m confident I can beat anybody in the WEC.”

– WEC lightweight contender Danny Castillo answers questions on MMAmania.com’s exclusive presentation of Pro MMA Radio earlier this week about a potential rematch with the only man to ever beat him, Donald Cerrone, as well as where he belongs in the WEC lightweight title picture. Castillo has won three straight under the WEC banner since losing his debut on just five days notice to “Cowboy” in June of 2008. “Last Call” is set to do battle with Team Takedown wrestling standout Shane Roller on the main card of WEC 44: “Brown vs. Aldo” on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 9 p.m. ET on the Versus network live from “The Pearl” at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. Does another win put him in the line for the title in the suddenly crowded 155-pound division?
