For the upcoming Ufc on Fuel TV 7 card in Wembley Arena, I called upon our British Mma correspondent and co-host, English Thom Burton to help me breakdown the event. We cover all 12 fights with particular emphasis on the interim championship match between Renan Barao (29-1, 1) and Michael McDonald (15-1). Barao is easily one of the most talented fighters in the Ufc and a legitimate threat to Dominick Cruz’s stranglehold on the Bantamweight division when he returns from injury.
The other notable fights include a battle between Cub Swanson () and Dustin Poirier () at Featherweight, which promises to be a contender for Fight of the Night. Also expect big knockouts in the Lhw Jimi Manuwa (12-0) vs. Cyrille Diabate and the James Te-Huna (15-5) vs. Ryan Jimmo (17-1) matches. These fighters have an amazing 36 knockouts between them.
If submissions are your thing, then Paul Sass (13-1) takes on Danny Castillo (14-...

We return for another Mma podcast. This time we are previewing the massive card in Montreal, Quebec, Ufc 154. How big is big you ask? 13 fights! Including 5 on the main card. The highlight of course is the epic showdown between the Interim Welterweight Champion, Carlos Condit (28-5), against the returning Welterweight Champion, Georges St-Pierre (22-2).
Quite frankly this is a massive fight and one that will affect Gsp’s legacy far into the future. If he wins this fight, then the Anderson Silva fight must happen. If he loses, then Gsp must recapture his belt, perhaps by first fighting Nick Diaz and working his way back toward Condit.
But there are other exciting fights on the card including a #1 contender eliminator between Martin Kampann (20-5) and Johny Hendricks (13-1), the streaking Francis Carmont (19-7) against Tom Lawler (8-4), and England’s very own John Maguire (18-4) fighting Matthew Riddle (10-3).
