Ryan McGivern & Dennis Davis join Joe & Ted after Giants win Super Bowl!

Back to the IFL on Monday night, the guests on The Rear Naked Choke will be Ryan McGivern and Dennis "The Piranha" Davis, both of whom will be fighting on the IFL's Feb. 29th card at the Orleans in Las Vegas. See how the IFL bills our show and others'. Ryan, who competes for Miletich Fighting Systems (MFS), has been thrust into the middleweight title bout against Matt "Suave" Horwich because our friend, American hero Tim Kennedy, has been called to duty for the U.S. Army. Tim is an Army Ranger. We wish him safety and are thankful he and others in the military and their families make the sacrifice to keep peace. Ryan's last fight was a stunningly dominant knockout of Fabio Leopoldo at the IFL Team Finals in Florida back in September. Although he is taking this title fight on four weeks' notice, Ryan is known as perhaps the top-conditioned athlete of the rugged Miletich camp. We're not talking about the best person at your local gym here, we're talking about the top conditioned guy at the factory. He's always in fighting shape. Dennis is fighting at featherweight against Ian Loveland. While this fight is listed as a preliminary bout, those in the know realize it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting matchups on the loaded card.

Although the IFL is team-based, Drew has what is usually titled the "matchmaker" role in other promotions.
