Roy’s fight with Kimbo Slice took place months ago, but it was behind the closed doors during the filming of TUF 10.  Without revealing the result, Big Country talked to Joe and Ted about his anticipation of the fight, the selection process of the bout and what might lie in store for their relationship down the road.

Mike made his first appearance on Rear Naked Choke Radio and gave some background about himself, plus an insider’s view on what was going on during the early time in the TUF house with regard to the completion of the first two fights and the preparation for Big Country vs. Kimbo.  Did you know Mike was an assistant football coach at Arkansas, where he guided players such as NFL running backs Darren McFadden, Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis?

Tim is coming off another dominating win at Strikeforce in the middleweight division, choking Zak Cummings from the ranks of the unbeaten.  Joe and Ted found out who were the other two groups of people Tim tried to thank in his post-fight interview on Showtime with Stephen Quadros.  They addressed the prospect of the Army special forces green beret getting a shot at the winner of the Strikeforce 185-pound interim title match between Jake Shields and Jason “Mayhem” Miller.
