Last week’s show was so good with guests Mike Dolce and Sean McCorkle that we almost didn’t even bother having a show this week. Seriously. It’s gonna be hard to top. But it’s Tuesday, and that means MMA Beatdown Radio resets its weekly clock and tries to raise the bar one more time. This week on the DieHards Radio Network, Mike an Amy are joined by Brian Ebersole and, well … a superhero named “Wonderboy.”
Ebersole (49-14-1) gives the show a buzz, and we don’t mean the kind he hears while shaving his chest hair into an arrow. It took the Midwest native more than 60 fights to get to the UFC, but once he got to the Big Show he’s been all business, going 3-0 last year with a Fight of the Night bonus – and a special bonus for finishing Dennis Hallman in the first round to get his bikini trunks off the broadcast faster, Dana White said. We’ll talk to the Australia resident about what’s next for him after his win over Claude Patrick last month – and whether he thinks he can land a coaching spot on a proposed Australian edition of “The Ultimate Fighter.” And let’s be honest – the chest hair thing is probably gonna come up.
Stephen Thompson (5-0) makes his UFC debut on Saturday at UFC 143 in Las Vegas. The “Wonderboy” is going to give us an introduction about just what makes him so wonderful, and the South Carolina-based welterweight will walk us through the stellar amateur kickboxing career – reportedly 56-0 with 39 knockouts – that made him the Wonderboy he is today … a Wonderboy about to introduce himself to mainstream MMA fans against Daniel Stittgen.
The show streams live here atMMADiehards.com at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 PT. If you miss the live broadcast, well dude – chill. Take a deep breath. Relax. Everything’s gonna be all right. The show will be available on demand RIGHT HERE after the completion of the broadcast or as a download at iTunes.
