Show 86 and we got a TUF show going down. No I don’t mean tough I mean TUF as in 3 of our four guests have been on the show The Ultimate Fighter. Okay so now that we are on the same page, lets get to it.
The first hour is Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck reunion time. Our first guest was the man that got on a lot of guys nerves in the house, but he did what he needed to and shocked a lot of people. Winning three of his four fights and losing to the eventual runner-up of the show. Yeah if you haven’t guessed yet who we got if I said Bruce Leroy, I’m sure you would know, so that’s right we got Alex Caceres on before his UFC debut against Mackens Semerzier at UFC Fight Night 24. We will talk to Alex about making his debut, what he has done to stay busy since the show, and if he still wants to fight or second guest Nam Phan. We will also talk to Alex about his time on the show and if he has anyone moment that will go down as a favorite for him. We will also talk to Alex about how things have changed for him since the show and what type of nerves he has stepping into the cage on this level.
Okay so I already gave up who our second guest is, so I saved you the guessing game and me the writing. Nam Phan is back in the shop. (Strange fact if you type Nam Phan into google the second search result suggestions is “Nam Phan Robbed.”) Nam is stepping back into the cage against Leonard Garcia for a rematch with Leonard Garcia. This fight promises to have fireworks as both fighters have something on the line. Many felt Nam was robbed in his UFC debut, so this time around I would assume neither fighter is wanting to leave it in the hands of the judges. We will talk to Nam about what he has been doing since that fight, and if he has done anything with the paycheck from that fight. Oh and you know we will have to ask if he still wants to fight our first guest as well…
Second hour we kick it off with the man who was runner up on the Liddell vs. Ortiz season of TUF. That’s right Kris McCray is back on the show to talk about his upcoming match at UFC Fight Night 24 against John Hathaway. Since his loss to Carlos Eduardo Rocha, McCray has switched up his camp and moved things to the Renzo Gracie Combat Team, so we have plenty to talk about. We will talk to Kris about fighting in the UFC, how life has changed for him in the last 6 months, his memories of TUF now that he has been gone for a while, and much more. Kris is a great interview and usually brings a certain type of energy with him. We will talk to him about his time in the service growing up in a military home, and his favorite part of the sport at this level compared to what it was like when he was coming up making a name for himself.
Sean McCorkle is back for his second spot on the show and if you missed his last interview don’t sleep on this one. McCorkle has to be one of the funniest kats in the sport. He is the guy that clowned on Stefan Struve for weeks leading up to their fight. McCorkle has something to say about everything and if he doesn’t have anything already planned to say, it doesn’t take but half a second for this witty son of a mongoose to come up with something. McCorkle is set to take on Christian Morecraft at UFC Fight Night 24. Both fighters have only one loss on their record and that loss comes from the same man, Stefan Struve. We will talk to McCorkle about his match up, his feelings for the UFC Hw Division and if he wants to beat up anyone from the newly acquired Strikeforce. McCorkle is a blast to have on the show and I don’t expect this time to be any different then normal.
