The Rear Naked Choke, Featuring Joe & Ted

Did you WATCH? Did you LISTEN? The Rear Naked Choke’s first-ever VIDEO ringside livestream is in the books!

Live from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, Joe & Ted did their thing once again, capping off a whirlwind week that saw the show reach new heights. You see, well, SEEING is the key because now The RNC has broken into the world of live video. The guest roster: IFL matchmaker Kurt Otto, ring announcer extrodinaire Tim Hughes, IFL czar Jay Larkin, and light heavyweights Chael Sonnen of WEC & Team Quest and Mike Ciesnolevicz of the IFL and Miletich Fighting Systems!

Sure, it’s really a radio show, but now you can watch it, like you watch Mike & Mike, or Mike & The Mad Dog! And you can do it right from your computer!

Another benefit for those who prefer to listen live is that the audio quality will be top notch. So even if you just want to listen, this would be a great way to do it! (AND you’ll get to watch what is going on while the commercials and promos play)

Big Country helped us make history. Again.

The first guest when the show was re-christened The Rear Naked Choke last year, IFL heavyweight champion Roy “Big Country” Nelson again was first when the show went to live-streaming video the day before the fights at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.

Wasting no time bringing out the big gun for the debut, Roy sat in as the show streamed live for the first time ever, via www.IFL.tv. From here on in, you can listen to the shows the traditional ways, or watch and listen as they happen. Just go to www.IFL.tv and click through the “Live Event” link!

After Roy stepped aside, Nick and John sat in together and hilarity ensued. Nick was given special treatment because he is from Joe’s hometown of Emerson, NJ - even though this was the first time they met. John got special treatment because he was with Nick.

Despite being fairly new to the MMA scene, these guys brought a lot of personality to the show.

Like John and Nick, Mike was getting set to make his IFL debut the next night. Mike is more established in the MMA scene in the Northeast and talked about how this fight with Danillo Villefort means a lot to his burgeoning career.
