JNPO Classic: Chuck O’Neil on ‘Uncle Brock’; GSP vs. Nick Diaz booked

Jump into the wayback machine with yours truly as we continue our run through the archives of the WGAM MMA Show, a weekly MMA focused radio show on ESPN NH that ran from 2011-12, hosted by myself and co-host/producer PJ Huot. 

On the 6-2-2011 edition of the show:

– We discussed the breaking news that then-UFC welterweight champion GSP vs. then-Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz was confirmed for Las Vegas, NV. We had a lot of questions about what this meant for Diaz’s future in Strikeforce.

– We did a full review of a boring UFC 130 and aired our frustrations with Rampage Jackson and the entire light heavyweight division.

– We discussed Dana White’s pleading with Roy Nelson to drop to light heavyweight.

– We did an extensive interview with then-UFC rookie and current pro wrestler Chuck O’Neil. We talked about his TUF experience and fighting against Tony Ferguson on the show. We also asked about “Uncle” Brock Lesnar and his impending fight against Chris Cope.

– We previewed the TUF finale show featuring Ferguson vs. Ramsey Nijem and the “can’t be bad” main event between Clay Guida and Anthony Pettis.

Six years ago never sounded so good.

JNPO Classic (May 19, 2011): Phil Davis interview; NY to legalize MMA?

Six years ago, yours truly and trusty co-host PJ Huot launched a weekly MMA show on a New Hampshire ESPN Radio affiliate. Recently, those digital tapes were unearthed and are being uploaded weekly for your listening pleasure.

On the 5/19/11 edition of the WGAM MMA Show:

  • I stopped calling PJ “King of the Office Octagon”
  • We discussed NY State reportedly preparing to vote on the legalization of MMA (again, this was six years ago)
  • We discussed Chael Sonnen being suspended by the NSAC for two years and what potential options he might have
  • PJ did a 10-minute interview with Phil Davis who had got the call to take Jon Jones’ place against Rashad Evans at UFC 133
  • We discussed why Jones was out of the fight 
  • We talked Bellator ratings, Dan Severn’s run for his 100th win, TUF, PJ heading to a bachelor party and the term “thwapping your junk around”.
