With Joe & Ted & The RNC crew looking on at ringside the Meadowlands April 4, Bad Brad Blackburn came through with a bang.

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!

JUMP ON THE TRAIN!

<—pass it down—>

Joe & Ted give you the best of the International Fight League (IFL) right here!

They started September, the month in which the IFL’s team champion will be crowned, by having on “Bad” Brad Blackburn, who will be fighting on the card Sept. 20, prior to the championship match between the Quad Cities Silverbacks and New York Pitbulls. The assistant coach of the Silverbacks, Steve Rusk, also gave his assessments 17 days before the championship throwdown.

Do not forget to stay tuned and find out what our favorite ring girl, Emily Miller, has been up to!

The focus of the show has been the IFL for more than six months. Let’s take time to see how Joe & Ted took an idea and turned it into the hottest show on the web.

From December until March, the show was in the experimental phase, being put together in a live test environment. When Emily joined the show as a guest one March evening, the show took a turn and the focus immediately shifted to the personalities and storylines of the IFL.

Joe & Ted also have done live shows from Chicago and the Meadowlands before IFL events, and will be doing shows from the sites of the Team Finals the week of Sept. 20, from the Grand Prix Semifinals the week of Nov. 3, and from the Grand Prix finals the week of Dec. 29.

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.

LISTEN HERE! 

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!

LISTEN HERE!

Just days before their IFL Semifinal match, coach Shawn Tompkins and light-heavyweight Alex Schoenauer of the LA Anacondas joined Joe & Ted in person, laughing it up for an hour. LISTEN HERE!

Joe & Ted went to the IFL’s hotel HQ in Teaneck, NJ, set up shop and jawed with Tompkins and Schoenauer while luminaries from the league popped in and out to check it out. Even the commish, Kurt Otto, pulled up a chair and took it all in.

The guys got things jump-started by getting Emily on the line, making Shawn blush like a shy teenager. When things settled down, the discussion covered everything from the Tompkins House to Canada to hockey to Chris Horodecki (a guest Thursday, Aug. 2 on Joe & Ted’s live stream from the Meadowlands prior to the semifinals).

Alex got behind the mic, and Joe eventually busted him for lying. But that was long after Ted’s interrogation about cooking, captaining a ship and puking. Did Joe & Ted get Alex to sing? Check out the show and find out!
