Ben Mike and Chad are back this week with the thirteenth episode of Potato Nation’s ever-growingly popular bi-weekly Bum Rush Radio Show podcast.

On this show the guys run through the big winners and losers from the UFC’s New Year’s Day UFC 125 card, dissect the Strikeforce heavyweight tournament and give their thoughts on Chael Sonnen’s latest scandal.

Later on in the show former Strikeforce light heavyweight champ Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal stops by to chat about a number of topics including the status of his knee rehabilitation, his tryout with the WWE and the unlikely character who influenced him the most to become a fighter.

As always, we suggest you download the podcast through iTunes and ask that if you like the show you give us some positive feedback in iTunes as well as here in the comment section.  If you don’t have iTunes, (we aren’t going to judge you, but man, who doesn’t have iTunes?) you can download the show the old fashioned way HERE. 

We welcome your suggestions for future segments or guests you would like to hear on the show as well as any recommendations to make the show better.

Hopefully we can make your Friday 78 minutes less mundane.


Bum Rush Nugget: Phil Baroni Represents ‘Real Fighters,’ Calls Out Minowaman for One More Battle

When we learned that the match between UFC veteran Phil Baroni and 23-year-old prospect Brad Tavares would indeed be aired before the UFC 125 pay-per-view broadcast this Saturday, it reminded me of our last chat with the New York Bad Ass on episode 11.1 of the Bum Rush Radio Show. Baroni has reached that point in his career where youngsters are trying to make their names off of him, and he has to beat them if he wants his own name to retain its value. I asked Phil if he felt like the last in a bygone generation of fighters, considering that so many of his rivals are no longer competing. And I thought his response was worth sharing again…

Have a Listen to the Last Episode of The Bum Rush for 2010 with Special Guest George Sotiropoulos

 
 

With the holidays nearly upon us and your work week winding down, we figured we’d give you something to do while you drink your bourbon spiked coffee alone in your office today.

With the holidays nearly upon us and your work week winding down, we figured we’d give you something to do while you drink your bourbon spiked coffee alone in your office today.

This is our twelfth and final episode of the year, but it’s a good one.

Besides our "expert" breakdown of UFC 125, we opened the phone lines up again for this show to hear from the Potato Nation one last time before heading into 2011.

At approximately the :79 minute mark (for those of you who can’t stand our hodgepodge of Canadian and American accents) UFC lightweight contender George Sotiropoulos stops by to talk about a number of topics, including his upcoming fight with Dennis Siver at UFC 127, the lightweight title bout between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard coming up on New Year’s day, the hate towards 10th Planet jiu-jitsu and the controversy surrounding his competition legwear.

*We apologize in advance for a fragment of latent audio from a past episode that somehow made it into the intro by Ben when he’s talking about our pal Dallas Winston. We’re in the process of uploading the new version of the show with the soundbite removed, but it likely will take an hour or so to complete the process.

As always, we suggest that you subscribe to The Bum Rush on iTunes if for nothing else but simplicity’s sake, but if you’re still against all things Apple, you can download the episode by right-clicking HERE.

In case you’ve been wondering, we haven’t abandoned the live, interactive editions of The Bum Rush, we’ve just been trying to figure out how to fix all of the audio issues we’ve encountered since we began using Talkshoe.

Since you’ve been asking about when we’re going to include the Potato Nation in another podcast, we figured we’d make our last episode of the year an interactive one so we can drink rum and eggnog and shoot the shit with our homies during the holidays.

You can listen to live, HERE at 5:30 pm ET tomorrow and then check back in on Thursday for bonus taped interviews added to the show with UFC lightweight George Sotiropoulos and Nemesis fighter Chris McNally.
