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 broadcasted weekly on Wednesday nights on 93.3 FM, CFMU and here at Last Word on Sports.
It’s a strange weekend of MMA coming up with both UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy, and Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie taking place. We start this episode previewing Sunday night’s snakebit UFC Fight Night, which is now main evented by dueling cowboys. Although the card has lost a lot of interesting matchups due to injury, there are still enough interesting fights for us to break down.
In the second half of the show we take a look at this Friday night’s Bellator event, a show headlined by a twenty year old grudge match between Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie, along with a co-main event between Kimbo Slice and his apparent street-fighting rival Dada 5000.
Finally we try to find time throughout the show to discuss the week in MMA, including both Alistair Overeem and Aljamain Sterling re-signing with the UFC, Rampage Jackson returning to Bellator, the NAC suspension of Wanderlei Silva, and the unfortunate passing of UFC and Pride legend Kevin Randleman.
Hosted by Steve Jeffery, David Abraham and Greg Persson.
Listen to us Wednesday nights at 6:30pm on CFMU 93.3 FM, and online at http://www.thehammermma.com, Last Word On Sports, The Itunes Store, Stitcher, MMAPodcast.com, Player.FM, find @SteveJeffery on Twitter, or just email us.
