Benji, Benji, Benji. BENJI!!!
Benji Radach of the LA Anacondas, the top-seeded 185-pounder in the IFL, finally made it to the mic with Joe & Ted just days after he stopped Gerald Harris of the Quad Cities Silverbacks in the team semifinals!
Although Benji’s triumph was the Anacondas’ lone victory that evening, he was able to look forward to the Nov. 3 IFL Grand Prix semifinals in Chicago with a positive attitude.
With plenty of time to max and relax, Benji talked to Joe & Ted about getting bitten by a spider and nearly having a hole through his leg as a result. He also recounted - in deep detail - that fateful night in Vancouver when he single-handedly foiled an armed robbery.
Benji is a fun person, so it figures that when Joe & Ted got a hold of him that (as usual) hilarity would ensue. But because of the nature of the subject matter, his visit turned out to be one of a more serious nature.
Benji’s show was Joe & Ted’s third in a week before their summer break, and it completed a run that gave listeners the most access on the net to the Anacondas. Alex Schoenauer, coach Shawn Tompkins, Chris Horodecki and Benji all were on in that short span!
The show finished very strong, as IFL Operations Manager Drew Archer talked about how an event works and where the league stands in the world of MMA.
Emily came on and helped the guys close out things. The shy (?) ring girl from Iowa, when she was in for the IFL team semifinals, took New York by storm so much so that she blacked out next to some (lucky) guy on a plane!

Horodecki dominates again, this time on TRS with Joe & Ted
Chris Horodecki, one of the most dominant fighters in MMA the past two years, was at his best outside the ring when he joined Joe & Ted on The RON Show at the Meadowlands moments before the IFL Semifinals.
Hanging around long enough to earn co-host status, The Polish Hammer gave Joe & Ted nuggets you will not hear anywhere else. Horodecki covered everything, from MMA to the movies, and was able to defend against the guys, who were armed with “dirt” about the 19-year-old superstar given by his coach and mentor, the LA Anacondas’ Shawn Tompkins.
Leading off the show guest list, Tokyo Sabres heavyweight Wayne Cole stepped in for a few minutes, giving a preview of his fight with Bryan Vetell of the NY Pitbulls (it did not turn out well for Wayne).
Then Chicago Red Bears coach Igor Zinoviev stepped to the mic. Igor is still training two to three times per day and looks like he could (and should) fight any day. He hinted at a return to the ring.
It came time for a change of pace, and that’s when Emily Miller, our resident MMA expert, took some time to sit with Joe & Ted before starting her evening’s duties as a sexy IFL ring girl. Keep track of Emily all the time on The RON Show!
Chris jumped in and carried things for quite a while, then the guys from MMA Madness took over and closed it out. Hear senior writer Jeff Hamlin, czar Vince Waddell and editor-in-chief Pramit Mohapatra talk about the genesis of the site that is taking the world of mixed martial arts by storm!
The guys mixed and mingled all week with the movers-and-shakers of the IFL, and it all culminated on the air! With Joe & Ted, you never know who is going to show up!
