ABOUT MY BEARD, (CYRUS) I CANT BELIEVE THAT. (CASEY) YEAH, SOME WERE SAYING IT WAS A GIMMICK..OK.. BUT WHAT ALOT OF
PEOPLE DONT KNOW IS THAT THIS BEARD HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LOT OF YEARS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I GOT A FEW PICTURES THERE
(CYRUS) WOW...YOU WERE YOUNG THERE (CASEY) YEAH YEAH THAT WAS SIXTH GRADE YOU KNOW... (CYRUS) THATS IMPRESSIVE. (CASEY)
YEAH I STARTED SHAVING WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND BY THE TIME I WAS IN THE SIXTH GRADE I HAD THAT PRETTY MUCH DOWN PAT
SO... (CYRUS) ITS LEGIT BRO. (CASEY) ITS TO LEGIT TO QUIT. (CYRUS) TONIGHT... WE'RE GONNA BREAK DOWN THE JAMIE VARNER
CONTROVERSY, IM CALLING IT VARNER GATE FROM KENTUCKY AND CHECK OUT THE RESULTS FROM THE SECOND EVENT IN THE
STRIKEFORCE HEAVYWEIGHT GRAND PRIX! (CASEY) AND OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THE MOST HATED MEN IN MIXED MARTIA
ARTS, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE AND WERE GONA HAVE A HUGE MAIN EVENT FROM M-1 GLOBAL. (CYRUS) IT'S ACTION PACKED
PARTNER. BUT RIGHT NOW, LETS TALK ABOUT VARNER-GATE, THATS WHAT IM CALLIN IT YOU KNOW. JAMIE VARNER GOES TO KY HES GONA
FIGHT FOR GRUESOME MMA, THATS BRANDON NEWSOMES COMPANY, WE HAD THE BIG PREVIEW SHOW WHERE WE ANNOUNCED THAT VARNER WAS
GONA BE THERE, BIG DEAL. WE SHOW UP THERE TO COVER THE EVENT, IM ANNOUNCING THE EVENT, WE SEE JAMIE VARNER THERE HE DID
MAKE IT TO THE EVENT. WHICH OF COURSE IS FANTASTIC FOR HIM TO BE IN BELFRE, KY OF ALL PLACES RIGHT? BUT WE SEE BRANDON
NEWSOME AND HES A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING AND OF COURSE HES WORRIED BECAUSE THERES NO BLOOD WORK IN. HE HAS
EVERYBODY COVERED EXCEPT FOR HIS MAIN EVENT, THE BIG FISH JAMIE VARNER. DOES NOT HAVE HIS BLOOD WORK IN. VARNER GOES
AND TALKS TO THE COMMISIONER, TOD NEAL, SAYS IM GONA GO TRACK DOWN MY PAPERWORK, IM GONA GET YOU SOME PAPERWORK. UM.. COMES
BACK 45 MINUTES WITH THAT PAPERWORK UM.. TOD NEAL NOTICES THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK QUITE RIGHT, VERIFIES WITH THE DOCTOR
AND THE DOCTOR SAYS THATS NOT GENIUNE AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT CASEY HE TEARS OFF. I MEAN HIS HANDLER TAKES THE BLOOD
WORK OUT OF HIS HAND AND THOSE 2 ARE OUT THE DOOR. THEIR RUNNING UP THE STEPS, THEIR FREAKED OUT, AND THEIR OUTSIDE
THE BUILDING. (CASEY) NOW SEE THATS WHEN I CAME IN. THATS THE FIRST THING I SAW. I DIDNT KNOW ANY OF THIS WAS GOING ON. I
HEARD THAT HIS BLOOD WORK HADN'T COME THROUGH AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GET IT AND THEN I HEARD THAT THE BLOOD WORK IS IN,
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOK OVER AND I SEE JAMIE VARNER GOING UP THE STAIRS AND OUT THE DOOR. OK, WERE IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE, BELFRE, KY IS LIKE 30 MINS FROM ANY SORT OF MAJOR CITY OR YOU KNOW... SO HES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH
NO RIDE, NO ANYTHING SO WE WERE LOOKING FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM ANYWAY, THATS WHAT WE WERE THERE FOR. IT WAS A HUGE DEAL
THAT HE HAD JUST BEEN RELEASED FROM SUFFA AND HE WAS THERE IN THAT SMALL COMMUNITY AND WE WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT SO YOU
KNOW. I TORE OUT THE DOOR AFTER HIM, YOU KNOW JUST TO GET SOME WORD FROM HIM AND I SEE HIM HES OUTSIDE ON THE STEPS,
AND I STARTED TALKING TO HIM AND OF COURSE HES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE LIKE I SAID HES IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND I
ASKED HIM IF HE FELT LIKE HE WAS IN WRONGTURN AND HE SAID YEAH SORT OF... (CYRUS) I DID TOO. (CASEY) BUT I MEAN
BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY, BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY BUT HES JUST NEVER BEEN OUT.. YOU KNOW BACK IN THE SOUTH BEFORE. HE WAS A LITTLE
BIT UNCOMFORTBALE AND YOU KNOW, WE OFFERED TO GIVE HIM A RIDE, AND OF COURSE HE WAS BARRED FROM THE ARENA SO HE WAS
GONA HAVE TO SIT OUT THERE FOR A FEW HOURS. SO WE GAVE HIM A RIDE AND HE WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THAT INTERVIEW TO
KIND OF GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HIS INSITE INTO WHAT WAS GOING ON. (CYRUS) LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE INTERVIEW RIGHT NOW, ROLL
THE FOOTAGE. [INTERVIEW] (CASEY) ALRIGHT WERE HERE SOMEWHERE IN KY WITH JAMIE VARNER HERE. MAN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT
JEREMY CARPER TONIGHT MAN, WHAT HAPPENED? (JAMIE) WELL UH.. CAME HERE FOR THE FIGHT,CAME TO SIGN IN AND DO ALL THE
PHYSICAL STUFF ANDTHEY ASKED ME FOR A COPY OF MY BLOODWORK AND I DIDNT HAVE A COPY OF MY BLOODWORK ON ME, I DIDNT KNOW I
NEEDED TO BRING THAT AND JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM AND THE COMMISION HERE WOULDN'T LET ME
FIGHT SO I TRIED MY BEST TO GET OUT THEIR AND MIX IT UP HERE FOR THE KY VANCE. (CYRUS) ALRIGHT CASEY YOU SEE THE VIDEO
THERE, EVERYBODY SEES THE VIDEO. PUT YOURSELF IN THE SEAT OF THE PROMOTER, YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE. TO ME HE SEEMED A
LITTLE LAISE FARE, HE WAS LIKE. "OH I COULDN'T FIGHT, I WANTED TO FIGHT BUT I COULDN'T YOU KNOW WHATEVER", HOW DO YOU
FEEL ABOUT THAT? THAT WAS YOUR BIG GUY, THATS WHAT PEOPLE WERE COMING TO SEE 600-700 PEOPLE THERE TRYING TO WATCH
GRUESOME MMA WITH JAMIE VARNER AND HE DOESNT SHOW UP, HE CANT FIGHT. (CASEY) WELL BLOODWORKS A BIG DEAL, IVE SEEN ALL OF
FIGHTS FALL THROUGH DUE TO BLOODWORK AND THATS SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU KNOW YOU LOOK AT IT FROM
TWO DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES OF COURSE. AS A PROMOTER, I'M ALWAYS AM SURE TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE THE
BLOODWORK. I CALL AND MAKE SURE THATS EVERYBODYS GOT IT BUT IN THE SAME TOKEN, YOU KNOW BRANDONS LOOKING AT JAMIE VARNER
AND SEEING THAT HES BEEN A WORLD CHAMPION BEFORE AND HE KNOWS THAT HE HAST TO HAVE HAS BLOODWORK, SO HE ASSUMES THAT HES
GOING TO COME WITH THE BLOODWORK YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND SO YOU KNOW... (CYRUS) WOULD YOU ASSUME THAT? (CASEY) I PROBABLY
WOULD NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING WHEN WERE TALKING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY WERE PAYING JAMIE VARNER BUT IT WAS WHAT IT
WAS AND IT WAS REALLY UNFORTUNATE THE WAY ITY WENT DOWN. (CYRUS) NOW I HEAR THERE IS SOME LIDIGATION THAT ITS
POSSIBILY GONA HAPPEN HERE BETWEEN GRUESOME MMA AND JAMIE VARNER. WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT AS SOON AS WE FIND OU
ANYTHING FOR SURE. NOW YOU GOT TO FEEL BAD FOR JEREMY CARPER HIS OPPONENT. TALK ABOUT A GUY THAT MISSED OUT ON THE BIGGEST
OPPORTUNITY IN HIS CAREER BECAUSE, I'LL SAY IT, STUPIDITY.. I DONT LIKE IT BUT ON A GOOD NOTE, GRUESOME MMA WAS A GREAT
SUCCESS BUT YOU DO GOT TO FEEL BAD FOR JEREMY CARPER. (CASEY) I DO FEEL BAD FOR HIM YOU KNOW BECAUSE HE TRAINED VERY HARD
AND I TOLD JAMIE EVEN THAT AND HE WAS LIKE HE WAS VERY UPSET JAMIE SAID HE WAS VERY UPSET AND ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE UPSET
AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH MAN BUT YOU GOT TO LOOK AT IT FROM HIS PROSPECTIVE. YOU KNOW, HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT THE
FORMER CHAMPION OF THE WORLD IN FRONTOF HIS FAMILY IN HIS HOMETOWN AND WIN,LOSS,OR DRAW, EVEN IF HE GOT BEAT UP IN THAT
FOREVER, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAN WHO FACED JAMIE VARNER. DEFINANTLY A REPUTABLE NAME IN THE SPORT (CYRUS) THERE'S SOME
BIG WINS AT THAT CARD, IT WAS STILL A VERY GOOD CARD, VERY EXCITING THE PEOPLE OF KY WERE FANTASTIC, GREAT FANS. ADAM
NEWSOME GOT A BIG WIN.... BO PRIESE WAS ANOTHER GUY THAT ENDED UP GETTING FIGHT OF THE NIGHT AND THEY HAD A GREAT
ANNOUNCER. I DONT HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT THOUGH, I WAS THERE, NO IM JUST KIDDING BUT YOUCAN HIRE ME IF YOU WANT TO... SO
WHATS NEXT FOR GRUESOME MMA? I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE GRUSEOME MMA 5 WILL BE COMING SOON AND YOU CAN GO CHECK

STRIKEFORCE RESULTS, WHATS GOING ON WITH MOUNTAIN EMPIRE, MEKK? (CHRIS) WELL WE JUST UH SUMMERTIME, CLASSES ARE PACKED

EMPIRE. (CHRIS) WE DO WE HAVE A SUMMER CAMP FOR OUR KARATE STUDENTS THATS KEEPING US BUSY MORE THAN ANYTHING. IT JUST
GIVES THEM SOMETHING TO DO OVER THE SUMMER. (CYRUS) WELL ITS COOL THAT YOU OFFER THAT TO KEEP KIDS OUT OF TROUBLE.. I WAS
ALWAYS IN TROUBLE, MESSING WITH THINGS. CAGE BRAWLS COMING UP, CAGE BRAWL #6 YOU HAVE T BE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. NOW RANDY
STAMEY IS ON THE CARD, WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HIM FIGHT AGAIN COMING OFF A BIG WIN. AND THEN YOU GOT TYRONE
JACKSON HES GONA BE FIGHTING, BUT THEY DONT HAVE AN OPPONENT, WHAT GOING ON WITH THAT? (CHRIS) THEY'VE HAD TWO GUYS THAT
THEY HAD BOOKED TO FIGHT TYRONE AND FOR SOME REASON THEY KEEP BACKING OUT. (CYRUS) HES THE BEAST, I WOULD BACK OUT AS WELL.
(CHRIS) BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THE GUYS AT CAGE BRAWL TODAY, THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY HAD SOME GUYS THAT THEY WERE GONA
HAVE TO FIGHT TYRONE ON THE 8TH (CYRUS) OK. ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE MR. TYRONE JACKSON BACK IN THE CAGE. HE HAST TO BE RIDING
THE NICE HIGH, MAKING A COME BACK I KNOW YOUR EXCITED TO SEE TYRONE AGAIN. (CYRUS) OH I AM MAN. I LOVE TYRONE TO DEATH MAN
THAT GUY IS SUPER RESPECTFUL AND HES REALLY REALLY ENERGETIC WHEN HE GETS IN THE CAGE, HES DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE GET A
LITTLE SCARED WHEN THEY SEE HIM FIGHT. (CYRUS) OH YEAH! HE LOST THE INTIMADATING DREADS BUT NOW HE JUST LETS THE HANDS
DO THE WORK. (CASEY) YEAH NOW HES JUST BEATING PEOPLE UP! (CYRUS) LETS TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT STIRKEFORCE, ITS A BIG
CARD IN THE BIG D! HERE'S SOME OF THE RESULTS RIGHT HERE... YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK, LOOKING AT THE MAIN CARD FROM BOTTOM TO
TOP. YOU HAVE CHAD GRIGGS OR AS I CALL HIM.. CRAZY SIDEBURNS GUY, TAKING ON ALISTAIR OVEREEM'S BROTHER VALENTIJN. BOTH
GUYS. PRETTY LEGIT STRIKERS. IT'S GRIGGS THAT PULLS THIS ONE OUT THOUGH. AS OVEREEM SUBMITS DUE TO STRIKES. THEN YOU HAVE
DANIEL CORMIER, THE FUTURE OF THE STRIKEFORCE HEAVYWEIGHTS, TAKES ON HIS BIGGEST CHALLENGE, THE JOURNEYMAN, THE SNOWMAN,
JEFF MONSON! A GUY THAT SEEMS TO BE FIGHTING EVERY WEEK MONSON IS ALWAYS GAME BUT CORMIER, THE YOUNGER, HUNGRIER OF
THE TWO REALLY CAME TO FIGHT. HE GETS THE UNANIMOUS DECISION. CORMIER HAS TO BE THAT CLOSE THOUGH YOU GOT TO FIGURE TO BE
FIGHTING ONE OF THE GUYS THATS IN THE GRAND PRIX RIGHT NOW AND REALLY HAVING A BIG CHALLENGE. (CASEY) WELL DANIEL
CORMIER, OF COURSE, A VERY VERY EXCELLENT WRESTLER HAS BEEN CRITISIZED A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE MAYBE FOR BEING A LITTLE BIT
SLOW AND NOT ENOUGH ACTION IN SOME OF HIS FIGHTS BUT HE KNOWS HOW TO POSITION AND KNOWS HOW TO PULL OUT THE VICTORY AND IN
THIS JEFF MUNSON FIGHT, ITS A HUGE ONE. JEFF MUNSON'S A HUGE NAME, HES BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS, SO THAT DEFINANTLY POISES
DANIEL CORMIER FOR VICTORY. (CYRUS) I AGREE, I COMPLETELY AGREE. NOW THE ONLY FIGHT THAT WASN'T HEAVYWEIGHT ON THE MAIN
CARD FEATURED THE ONLY FIGHT THAT WASN'T HEAVYWEIGHT ON THE MAIN CARD FEATURED TWO TOP LIGHTWEIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OR TWO
OF THEM, K.J. NOONS AND JORGE MASVIDAL MIXING IT UP. ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE PICKING K.J. BUT MASVIDAL DOMINATED ON THIS ONE
UNANIMOUS DECISION WIN! NOW GUYS, YOU GOT TO BELIEVE THAT JORGE MASVIDAL IS UP NEXT FOR GILBERT MELENDEZ "THE CHAMP" A
GUY THAT HAS DOMINATED THE DIVISION. HOW DO YOU THINK HE WOULD FARE AGAINST HIM? (CHRIS) I THINK ITS GOING TO BE A
GOOD FIGHT, IT WOULD BE A GOOD MATCH UP (CYRUS) MELENDEZ WAS TOUGH, HE TORE KIWOGERE UP. HOW DO YOU THINK HE WOULD DO
AGAINST MASVIDAL? (CASEY) WELL MASVIDAL IVE KNOWN HIM FROM WAY BACK IN THE DAY, BRANDON BLEDSOE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF
OURS HE WAS RIDING HIGH BACK IN THE EARLY 2000'S AND HE WENT DOWN THE FLORIDA TO FACE MASVIDAL WHO WAS TRAINING WITH THE
AVALON BROTHERS AT THE TIME, AND THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WALK THROUGH FOR BRANDON BLEDSOE, THEY WERE VERY VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE THAT MASVIDAL WAS GONA FACE BRANDON BLEDSOE AND HE ACTUALLY BEAT BRANDON PRETTY DECISIVELY WITH KNOCK OUTS
AND HE WAS ON A RISE EVER SINCE THEN. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE NEXT BIG THING, THE MOST RECENT BIG THING WAS WHEN MASVIDAL
GOT CAUGHT IN THAT BIG SUBMISSION BY TOBY AMADA YOU KNOW AND WENT TO SLEEP, BUT OF COURSE UNTIL THEN HE WAS TEARING IT UP.
MASVIDAL VERY VERY TOP TALENT, AND IM ANXIOUS TO SEE... (CYRUS) HIM AND MELENDEZ? (CASEY) I THINK HE WOULD GIVE
MELENDEZ A HECK OF A FIGHT MAN (CYRUS) FINALLY, A TOURNAMENT QUARTER FINAL MATCH UP CAME UP HERE, THE BIG CO-MAIN EVENT
JOSH BARNETT GETS LICENSED AND TAKES ON THE HARD HITTING BRETT RODGERS. NOT A BAD FIGHT EARLY ON BUT AS MANY PICKED,
BARNETT KIND OF CRUISES THROUGH A VICTORY, GETS THE ARMTRIANGLE SUBMISSION IN THE SECOND ROUND. BARNETT WILL NOW
MEET THE PRIDE K-1 LEDGEND NASTY STRIKER, SERGEI KHARITONOV! DOES KHARITONOV HAVE A CHANCE IN THIS ONE OR DOES BARNETT
WALK RIGHT THROUGH THEM TO THE FINALS? (CHRIS) I THINK BARNETT IS GOING TO BE IN THE FINALS DEFINANTLY, I HONESTLY
THINK IT WILL BE BARNETT AND SILVA. (CYRUS) STRIKERS CHANCE THOUGH? (CASEY) HE DOES, HE DOES BUT ITS REALLY HARD TO KNOCK
OUT JOSH BARNETT THOUGH. HES GOT A REALLY GOOD CHANCE, HES FOUGHT ALOT OF TOUGH GUYS BUT KHARITONOV, WHEN WE SAW HIM
FIGHTING ARLOSKIV HE REALLY TORE IT UP. WORD IS, THAT KHARITONOV USED TO TRAIN WITH FIDOR AND THAT THEY WERE REALLY
CLOSELY STRONG TRAINING PARTNERS FOR ONE ANOTHER BUT FIDOR KIND OF TOOK OFF ON THE PRIDE SCENE AND KHARITONOV SORT OF
RESENTED THAT. SO HE WILL BE MAKING A VERY STRONG PUSH TO COME BACK AND WIN THIS THING SO YOU CAN NEVER COUNT HIM OUT.
(CYRUS) YEAH I AGREE. NOW IN THE MAIN EVENT THERE WAS A REMATCH FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING! HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP "THE
DEMOLITION MAN" ALISTAIR OVEREEM TAKES ON FABRICIO WERDUM, WHO WON THE FIRST MATCHUP BACK IN PRIDE! NOW WERDUM LANDED A
FEW DECENT SHOTS, BUT OVEREEM, THE NEW OVEREEM, WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH. WERDUM KIND OF DID THE WHOLE BUTT SCOOT
THING, HE WAS TRYING TO PULL HIM INTO GUARD, BUT OVEREEM DIDNT FINISH THE FIGHT, VERY UPSET THAT HE DIDN'T BUT OVEREEM
IS GOING TO THE SEMI-FINALS HES GONA BE TAKING ON ANTONIO "BIG FOOT" SILVA AND THAT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT MATCH UP.
BIGFOOT IS ON A RISE MAN HE IS RIDING HIGH. (CASEY) YEAH HE IS, ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE DISSAPOINTED WITH OVEREEMS
PERFORMANCE EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED THOUGH TO A ROUGH PERFORMANCE. YOU KNOW STYLES MAKE MATCHUPS AND SOMETIMES YOUR
NOT GONA PERFORM AS WELL AS YOU COULD BUT I THINK THAT SILVA IS GONA BE A BIGGER, STRONG VERSION OF FABRICIO WERDUM, ITS
GOING TO BE A TOUGH FIGHT IF ALISTAIR GETS ON BOTTOM AND CANT MOVE, THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM BUT OF COURSE YOU CAN NEVER CANT
OVEREEM OUT BECAUSE THOSE KNEES ARE SO DEVASTATING. (CYRUS) NO. I KNOW YOU LIKE STRIKERS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. YOUR A
KEMPO GUY. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OVEREEM? I MEAN IF YOU GET A WIN AND YOUR GOING INTO THE SEMI-FINALS HIM AND SILVA. YOUR
KIND OF LIKING SILVA RIGHT? (CHRIS) ABSOLUTELY, YEAH. (CYRUS) WOW. OK, WHATS THE REASON BEHIND THAT? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(CHRIS) I JUST THINK, LIKE YOU SAID, THAT HES ON A RISE RIGHT NOW, HES RIDING HIGH FROM HIS UH WIN. (CYRUS) HOW CAN YOU NOT
BE, GOING AGAINST A LEDGEND, WELL THATS GOING TO BE VERY GOOD. THE SEMI-FINALS WILL BE SOMETIME AFTER THE
FEDOR/HENDERSON FIGHT.THAT WILL BE JULY 30TH IN CHICAGO. A SUPER CARD FOR STRIKEFORCE IN THAT ONE! AND YOU KNOW WE'VE
COVERED JOSH BARNETT AND JAMIE VARNER IN THIS EPISODE. COULD THOSE TWO MEN MAKE THE TOP 5 HATED IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS?
COULD CASEY OXENDINE MAKE IT? ITS VERY POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD BE ON THE LIST! AND ALSO WE GOT A HUGE M-1 GLOBAL MAIN EVENT
AS WELL. SO KEEP IT RIGHT HERE ON MMA INSIDE THE CAGE!
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
(CYRUS) WELCOME BACK TO MMA INSIDE THE CAGE. CYRUS FEES, CASEY OXENDINE, AND THE MAN CHRIS MASSIE IN THE HOUSE.
WELL..IN THE SPORT OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, THERE'S ALWAYS A COUPLE OF GUYS OR GIRLS THAT JUST RUB EVERYONE THE WRONG WAY!
BEFORE WE SEE THE RESULTS...IF YOU HAD TO NAME ONE PERSON THAT YOU CAN'T STAND IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, THATS ON THE
SCENE RIGHT NOW, CHRIS MASSIE, WHO WOULD THAT PERSON BE? (CHRIS) MICHAEL BISPING, HANDS DOWN. (CYRUS) I MIGHT BE KIND
OF WITH YOU ON THAT ONE. WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIM? JUST THE ATTITUDE. (CHRIS) THE ATTITUDE, YOU KNOW WHEN HENDERSON
ABSOLUTELY JUST CLOCKED HIM AND THEN.... (CASEY) I THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN HE SPIT IN JORGE REVERIZ CORNER. (CYRUS) YEAH THAT
WAS NASTY, THAT WAS NASTY. CASEY HOW BOUT YOU BEFORE WE SEE THIS LIST. WHOS THE ONE GUY? (CASEY) I GOT A LIST OF FIVE BUT
YEAH BISPING.. (CYRUS) HES RIGHT UP THERE? WELP MAYBE WE'LL BE THE TOP LETS TAKE A LOOK RIGHT NOW.. LETS SEE WHO WE GOT
HERE. #5, LETS GET A DRUMROLL, FRANK MIR. FRANK MIR IN THE HOUSE THERE ALWAYS A GUY THAT KIND OF RUBS EVERYBODY THE
WRONG WAY, KIND OF HAS A COCKY ATTITUDE. CHRIS, YOUR A FAN OF MIR, HE SAYS THE WIFE KIND OF LIKES MIR TOO. (CHRIS) YEAH DEE
LIKES FRANK MIR PRETTY WELL BUT YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO GIVE THE GUY PROPS, HES A GOOD STRIKER, HES GOT GOOD JIU JITSU.
(CYRUS)I HAVENT BEEN REAL IMPRESSED WITH WHATS BEEN GOING ON HERE LATELY, NOT REALLY LIKING THE FIGHTS. HE GOT A WIN
AGAINST NELSON, BUT I DONT THINK HE HAS MUCH TO BRAG ABOUT IN SOME OF THOSE FIGHTS. (CHRIS) YEAH WELL HES BUT IF YOU LOOK
AT HIS HISTORY OVERALL, FRANK MIR HAS PAID HIS DUES. (CYRUS) OK. ANDERSON SILVA, #4 ANDERSON SILVA HES THE MAN. I MEAN IS
THAT JUST A CASE OF HIM BEING THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND NOBODY REALLY LIKING THAT GUY. KIND OF LIKE HOW EVEYONE USED
TO HATE MICHAEL JORDAN ANDJERR GORDON AND ALL THOSE GUYS WHO WERE #1 AND NOBODY LIKED THEM. (CASEY) I THINK THAT PEOPLE
ARE A LITTLE MAD THAT HE IS SO GOOD, THAT HE IS CAPABLE OF EMBARRASSING FIGHTERS AND NOT GOING FOR THE KILL. OF COURSE
HIS FIGHT WITH PETER BELFORD WAS AWESOME. (CYRUS) STEVEN SEGAL DID THAT (CASEY) YEAH, BUT BEFORE THAT HE HAD THE FIGHT
WITH DAMIEN MIA WHERE HE DANCED AROUND ALOT AND ALOT OF PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE THAT. SO YOU KNOW, PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SEE
HIM FIGHT BECUASE THEY KNOW HE CAN AND KNOW HES THE BEST. (CYRUS) #3 ON THE LIST, NICK DIAZ. WHO WOULD EVER GUESS THAT,
SUCH A NICE FELLA. THAT NICK DIAZ. NOT A BIG FAN MR. MASSIE? (CHRIS) NO NOT REALLY I KIND OF AGREE WITH CASEY. YOU KNOW
HOW CASEY WAS TALKING ABOUT SILVA, DIAZ HAS A WAY OF HOW TO TAWNT AND JUST HUMILIATE HIS OPPONENTS. (CYRUS) BUT ON THE
FLIP SIDE.. (CASEY) I THINK ITS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, NICK DIAZ IS MY FAVOSITE FIGHTER, AND LIKE WHAT HIS PERSONAL
ANTICS ARE OR NOT, HE KNOWS HOW TO GET IN THE HEAD OF HIS OPPONENT. AND I THINK THE DIFFERENCE IS WHERE SILVA IS DOING
A LITTLE MORE SHOWBOATING FOR THE SAKE OF SHOWBOATING, THERE IS A METHOD TO NICK DIAZ'S MADNESS. I MEAN EVERYTIME HE
FIGHTS, HE GOES IN, HE TALKS HE BREAKS HIS OPPONENTS APART
AND THATS JUST HIS METHOD AND YOU GOT TO RESPECT IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BECAUSE HE GETS THE "W". (CYRUS) #2 MR. JOSH
KOSCHECK. NOT A FAN OF MR. KOSCHECK, HES ONE OF THE GUYS WHOS RIGHT ON TOP OF THE LIST FOR ME. THE WHOLE ULTIMATE FIGHTER
SEASON JUST DROVE ME NUTS AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE GEORGE ST. PIER BEAT THE TAR OUT OF HIM, AND IVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO
SEE SOMEONE GET BLOODY AND BROKEN AS WHEN GSP DISMANTLED HIM. HOW DOES KOSHCHECK RATE FOR YOU? (CHRIS) EH YOU EITHER LIKE
HIM OR YOU DONT HES OK.. (CYRUS) #1, WE CALLED IT, MICHAEL "THE COUNT" BISPING. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, THAT MICHAEL BISPING
WOULD BE #1 ON THIS LIST. CASEY #1 FOR YOU? (CASEY) SPITTIN ON CORNER MAN. OF COURSE. (CYRUS) #1 FOR YOU? (CHRIS)
ABSOLUTELY MAN. (CYRUS) #1 FOR ME AS WELL.. #1 BEING THE MOST HATED MAN IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, WRITE IT DOWN. WELL..IT WAS
TWO WEEKS AGO, WHEN WE SHOWED THE WORLD GURAM GUGENISHVILLI, M-1 GLOBALS HEAVYWEIGHT MONSTER. AS IT HAPPENS OFTEN.. THE
INJURY BUG HIT, AND GURAM WILL NOT BE FIGHTING BIG PAT BENNETT AT M-1 CHALLENGE 26 ON JULY 8TH! INSTEAD... WE GET
ONE OF THE MOST OUTSPOKEN, EXCITING FIGHTERS IN THE COMPANY... KENNY "DEUCE" GARNER TAKING ON PAT BENNETT. THIS
ONE WILL MOVE THE WINNER ALOT CLOSER TO A TITLE FIGHT AGAINST GURAM WHEN HE GETS BACK. THINGS ARE GETTING INTERESTING IN
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION, CASEY.. M-1 IS A GREAT FAST MOVING COMPANY RIGHT NOW. (CASEY) MAN, OUT OF EASTERN EUROPE, ALL
OVER THE WORLD AND OF COURSE THEY COUPLE WITH STRIKE FORCE TO PUT ON EXCELLENT SHOWS AND THEIR PUSHING TO BE THE BIG #2
(CYRUS) THEY GOT THE FINANCES, THEY GOT THE PUSH I THINK THEY COULD REALLY DO THAT IN THE BIG SHOW TONIGHT. TONIGHT'S MAIN
EVENT WILL BE THE FIRST FIGHT BETWEEN THESE TWO. IT WAS BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR... M-1 SELECTION 2010. IT'S OUR MMA
INSIDE THE CAGE MAIN EVENT OF THE WEEK! [MAIN EVENT] (COM) GREAT NICKNAMES HERE, BIG 10 DAN AND WERE ABOUT TO SEE SOME
HEAVEYWEIGHT SWINGIN. WOW BOTH GUYS ARE COMING OUT WITH
FURY.. (COM2) WELL IM SUPRISED ACTUALLY GARNERS ACTUALLY PRESSURING PAT AGAINST THE ROPES, OH TRIED FOR THAT LATERAL
THROW BUT ENDED UP ON HIS BACK, NOT SO GOOD, NOT WHERE YOU WANA BE... AND HES DOING A GOOD JOBN THOUGH TRYING TO STAND
UP. TWO POWERFUL MEN IN THERE, HE JUST POWERS UP GARNER, THERE GOES THE ROPES.. DAN ROD THE PHOTOGRAPHER SCURRIES OUT
OF THE WAY FROM HIS PRON FACE POSITION, PROBABLY A SMART IDEA WHEN THESE TWO GUYS ARE COMING AT YOU. (COM) OH TWO RIGHTS IN
A ROW BUT PAT STILL STANDING FROM THEM.. OH AND ANOTHER RIGHT.. PAT COMING FORWARD LIKE A BAD GUY ZOMBIE THAT WONT
DIE IN A MOVIE, HES NOT GIVING UP. (COM2) OH HE EATS IT AGAIN, ANOTHER LEFT HOOK.. HES BLOCKING ALL THE PUNCHES WITH
