REPORT: IFL TO BE SOLD TO UFC
AFFLICTION: BANNED’S MATT LINDLAND TALKS RAMPAGE
The RNC’s Joe & Ted on the HUGE MMA weekend
There are numerous reports out there that the IFL is being sold to the UFC/Zuffa. Joe will post his take soon.
This week on The RNC:
Matt “The Law” Lindland talked about the Rampage Jackson arrest and his Affliction fight with Fabio Negao, plus his future with the promotion. Matt was fast-and-loose, poking fun at his opponents’ name and making light of Rampage’s legal troubles in his own unique way. The Law certainly did not seem fazed with his fight so close.
Matt "The Law" Lindland, Affliction and UFC Fight Night roundtable and predictions on The Rear Naked Choke! [61:57m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadJoe & Ted spent the early part of the show talking about the HUGE weekend in MMA, with Affliction’s pay-per-view taking on the UFC’s Spike card. They covered the topics, went over much of the cards and even made some predictions at the end of the show.
The other highlights:
Ted talked about his experience acquiring one of the brand-new iPhones.
Joe talked about Anderson Silva’s no-risk fight with James Irvin, and the brilliance of the UFC brass in putting together the Fight Night card to battle the competition.
The guys will be watching the fights on both cards involving all the former IFL stars, including Bad Brad Blackburn & Rory Markham, who both have co-hosted The RNC!
BAD BRAD BLACKBURN: HIS UFC DEBUT IS COMING
BUT FIRST, HE JOINS THE RNC!
Brad Blackburn made his first appearance on The Rear Naked Choke since signing a multi-fight deal with the UFC!
Listen To / Watch The Show:
Brad’s UFC debut is July 19 against James Giboo, on the Spike TV card the same night as Affliction Banned.
Joe flew solo on this one, but Brad was nice enough to essentially do the entire show with Ted sidelined. Joe & Brad went very in-depth on all of the issues surrounding the IFL’s pending demise and his being part of the first wave of fighters from the promotion to be gobbled up by Dana White and Co.
There was plenty of talk for the hardcore MMA fans on this one, which is a bit of a change from the normal lighthearted format.

THE CHAMP, HIS BRO, TED & JOE IN DA HOUSE!
The Rear Naked Choke visits AMA Fight Club
Home of newly crowned IFL middleweight champ Dan Miller
And his brother Jim!
Highlights: Oil Can Boyd, 5-on-2 … JUST LISTEN! OR WATCH!
Dan Miller stunned the establishment Friday night at Mohegan Sun with his belt-winning kneebar of IFL middleweight champion Ryan McGivern.
On May 19, Dan and his brother, Jim, welcomed Joe, Ted and The Rear Naked Choke crew to AMA Fight Club in Whippany, NJ for an in-person show! To hear Dan’s initial appearance on the show, Dec. 3, 2007, click the second player below.

Don’t worry, we also made Dan talk AGAIN about “The Guillotine From Hell” from his first IFL fight!
It got ugly when Jim revealed the dirty tricks of wrestling and Ted busted out the Oil Can Boyd reference.
If you missed it live, you can download this or any show to your iTunes by clicking the iTunes widget on www.joeted.com, and there also is an RSS feed available among the ways to keep on top of The Choke.
We also are feverishly working to get the VIDEO archive of live shows available through our partners at IFL.TV - feel free to check out the video player and do not wait for word from us. IT’S OK!
THOUGHTS FROM MOHEGAN
We once again were treated in a top-notch manner by the IFL and its staff, especially Jerry Milani, Greg DeSanctis and Katie Eskin. Katie has been instrumental in getting the video livestream running on IFL.TV. As we work out the kinks, the product will continue to improve (and believe us, we’re working tirelessly on it).
As usual, Debbie Rizzo killed as producer. James “The Kitch” Kitcher did well remote producing and keeping up joeted.com from The Land of Urijah Faber. Marty Lang gave us a taste of his professional film making by manning the video.
The guest list from the three on-site Mohegan Sun event-related shows:
Bad Brad Blackburn (co-hosted in Ted’s spot 5/14), Joey Guel, Carlos Hernandez, Zac George, Ryan “The Lion” Schultz, Roy “Big Country” Nelson, John Franchi, Nick Calandrino, Mike Massenzio, Kurt Otto, Tim Hughes, Jay Larkin, Chael Sonnen and, last but not least, Mike Ciesnolevicz.
After the fights finished, the crew hung out at the casino. Ted and Marty chilled with Big Country, and Joe and Debbie caught up with them after a nice chat-up with the Team Quest guys, including Ryan The Lion, Chael, Aaron Stark and Matt Lindland, who eagerly exposed his right nipple.
Bad Brad, renowned MMA photographer Tracy Lee, and Kurt Otto caught up with the crew when Royce Gracie showed up!

Matt Horwich, Brad Imes kick off IFL Fight Week!
PLUS:
-Get some Rear Naked love
-Tons of shows this week!
LISTEN HERE!
Matt “Suave” Horwich and Brad “The Hillbilly Heartthrob” Imes kick off IFL Fight Week, joining Joe & Ted tonight as the get ready for their IFL fights on the Mohegan Sun card Friday, May 16.
Matt will battle an old friend, Joey “Coyote” Guel, at middleweight, while Brad was a late replacement for Branden Lee Hinkle and gets a heavyweight title shot against Roy “Big Country” Nelson.
This was our last studio show before the in-person throwdowns in Connecticut.
Matt is making his first appearance back in the ring (and on The RNC) since losing his IFL middleweight title Feb. 29 to Ryan McGivern in Las Vegas. That means it’s also his first go-round at both since becoming a married man - he tied the knot the day after his defeat.
Hillbilly Heartthrob Brad pushed his MMA to the next level when he was a finalist in the UFC’s Ultimate Fighter 2 in 2005, dropping a split decision to Rashad Evans. Although he stuggled in going 0-3 in the UFC, Brad has rebounded nicely and has been winning consistently. He trains at Miletich Fighting Systems with the likes of Ben Rothwell and Tim Sylvia.

The Rear Naked Choke: After Hours Party Shenannigans w/CrossFit AllisonNYC
Listen to the Show
Well into the middle of the night after the IFL had completed its event, there was another competition just across the Meadowlands. And JoeTed.com was there! Breaking into video a little differently than expected, check out the video clip below of CrossFit legend AllisonNYC doing pullups to try and win a bet. You might also see some other familiar faces from The RNC!
On April 7, we returned to the regular schedule with a look back at the recent IFL event:
“Bad” Brad Blackburn joined The RNC to talk about his amazing comeback knockout of Delson Heleno, the potential for an IFL welterweight title fight and his Behind the Scenes with Joe & Ted video. Brad also digs the first-ever video produced on JoeTed.com and gave some of the background to its making!
Starting off the show was James “The Kitch” Kitcher, who runs JoeTed.com and sometimes a co-host and contributor, not to mention a CrossFitter and personal trainer. The Kitch recently was hanging in Sacramento with Matt “Suave” Horwich and Urijah “The California Kid” Faber, and gave the update on how it all shook down. The Kitch also riffed about the star of the JoeTed video (it’s just below), CrossFit AllisonNYC!

BAD BRAD - WITH A BANG!
RINGSIDE LIVE AT THE MEADOWLANDS IFL
RING GIRLS, BIG(GEST) LOSERS AND FIGHTERS!
Listen to the Show
With Joe & Ted & The RNC crew looking on at ringside the Meadowlands April 4, Bad Brad Blackburn came through with a bang.
Bad Brad was in trouble after losing the first two rounds to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu master Delson Heleno and he needed a knockout in the third round to win.
He got it.
RESULTS:
Jay Hieron defends welterweight belt over Mark Miller, TKO 2:10 Round 1
Wagnney Fabiano defends featherweight belt over Shad Lierley, KO :30 Round 1
Vladimir Matyushenko defends light heavyweight belt over Jamal Patterson, TKO 3:20 Round 2
Brad Blackburn defeats Delson Heleno via KO at 1:50 Round 3.
Alex Schoenauer defeats Brendan Barrett at light heavyweight via split decision
LC Davis defeats Rafael Dias at featherweight via knockout (leg kick) at 3:56 Round 3
Chris Horodecki defeats Nate Lamotte at lightweight via unanimous decision.
Jim Miller defeats Bart Palaszewski at lightweight via unanimous decision.
Emyr Bussade defeats Jesse Lennox via tapout due to submission on kneebar at 1:25 Round 2.
Carmelo Marrero vs. Mike Ciesnolevicz ruled no contest due to accidental headbbut cut on Marrero at 1:37 Round 1.
What you might not know is that The Rear Naked Choke video squad was behind the scenes with Bad Brad from the time he got off the plane! To watch the inside story behind one of the greatest in-fight comebacks in IFL history, keep track of www.joeted.com and listen to The RNC.
Prior to settling in for the fights, Joe & Ted had Ring Girls and Big(gest) Losers. Oh yeah, and fighters, too!
Ring Girl Lauren Urso, who was one of the winners of the IFL/NY Post Ring Girl contest, was the first guest and got things (and Ted) heated up in a hurry.
The massive Conan Silveira from American Top Team talked about coming from Brazil to Miami and gave some good intel on his fighters.
Jim Germanakos from The Biggest Loser stepped in. Jim is a big MMA fan and knows a thing or two about dropping weight and getting into shape. His brother, Bill, won the title after 17 weeks on the ranch. Jim stayed for six weeks and Bill for the entire 17.
Then it got to the fighters, with Deividas Taurosevicius and Mike Massenzio, both of whom will be fighting on the IFL’s May 16 card at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
Deividas’ wrist injury kept him from fighting in the Meadowlands but he has been cleared to battle for the lightweight title against Ryan “The Lion” Schultz. Deividas is from Lithuania and recounted his professional athletic start as a rugby player.
Massenzio, who will be making his IFL debut at Mohegan Sun, capped it off by talking about his amazing New Jersey high school wrestling career and his current role as a high school coach and MMA fighter. He was 142-13 in high school and is now 10-1 in MMA!

Blackburn, Miletich, Matyushenko & Lierley at the IFL hotel!
Listen to the Show
Brad Blackburn, Pat Miletich (yes a mini Miltetich Love In finally got to happen!), Vladmir Matyushenko & Shad Lierley join Joe & Ted at the IFL hotel two days before the Meadowlands event. It was a veritable roundtable of experts, but the chattered covered everything from weight cutting, to UFC vs. IFL and somehow, just somehow got to Bad Brad Blackburn telling a story about how he ripped apart a very sensitive, vital part of his body.
Without a doubt, that aforementioned story is THE MOST HILARIOUS MOMENT IN RNC HISTORY that had Joe and Ted and everyone just gasping for air in fits of hysteria! Find out what the body part was and how it got torn along with all the rest of the fantastic MMA entertainment. Go ahead. Do it. You know you want to know. We even bet you think you know. But you don’t. Not until you…
