The MMA Outsider Podcast has been lucky enough over the past year to interview plenty of UFC, Strikeforce, and Bellator fighters, as well as other top prospects, and now we're happy to bring our show to InterMatFight.com.
My partner in crime, Richard, has wrestling experience all the way up to the collegiate level, competing at McDaniel College in Westminster, Md. Meanwhile, I trained at a mixed martial arts school for about 18 months -- just long enough to learn I'd never be a professional fighter. Both of us have covered the sport of MMA as journalists for several years. Richard recently received a master's degree in journalism from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Ill., and I have been a full-time reporter since 2005.
To kick things off, we give a detailed breakdown of UFC 143, which features a main event bout between Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit for the interim welterweight title. In between the prelims and the main card, we interview top light heavyweight prospect Tom DeBlass, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt that competed in the prestigious 2009 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling Championship. DeBlass has a 6-0 MMA record and currently holds the Ring of Combat 205-pound title. Unfortunately we just got word that his opponent for a Feb. 11 title defense fell through, but it's still a great opportunity to get to know a guy that will likely be in one of the sport's top promotions in the very near future.
