The Boys at the Hammer feature weekly coverage of all things MMA. They have one of the premier radio shows in the world of MMA broadcast weekly on Wednesday nights on 93.3 FM, CFMU. This week they are broadcasting live from Montreal in anticipation of UFC 158 and have a number of special shows in store for you. You can hear the first show here. Hammer Radio Special.
The Hammer MMA Radio staff are in Montreal for UFC 158: St. Pierre vs. Diaz, and somewhat unexpectedly wound up watching professional athletes practicing some MMA with the owner of Tristar Gym, and Georges St. Pierre’s right-hand man, Firas Zahabi.
So we caught up with former NHL great Georges Laraque, former NHL star Denis Gauthier, 3-time Olympic speed-skater Isabelle Charest, and 2-time Olympic speed-skater Marianne St. Gelais to talk about their brief foray into MMA, and what they are looking forward to seeing at the fights this weekend.
The Hammer features LastWordOnSports’ own writer Greg Persson, long time internet superstar Steve Jeffery, and is hosted by MMA aficionado Dave Abraham.
The Hammer has had interviews with some of the biggest names in MMA over the years, including BJ Penn, Dan Henderson, Sean Sherk, Mark Coleman, Rory MacDonald, Brendan Schaub, Mark Bocek, John Makdessi, Mark Hominick, Martin Kampmann, Johnny Hendricks, and others.
They continue to bring unparalleled, independent coverage of all things MMA to fans of the sport and they always bring you straight goods and the last word.
