MMA Live 08-13-2010

Jon Anik, Franklin "Smart Brother" McNeil, and Stephan Bonner host today's episode of MMA Live. They are joing by former UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen who actually appears in studio at ESPN, just a few days removed from his final round collapse against Anderson Silva. MMA Live is also joined by UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson, WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, and Ryan Couture.

Wow, so much MMA coverage by ESPN. I mean they covered Zuffa owned-WEC and Zuffa-owned UFC. Oh and a little-bitty pioce on Strikeforce's Ryan Couture, son of UFC fighter Randy Couture. So glad there's no other events coming up of significance like Strikeforce Challenger's one-night women's tournament or King of the Cage's event. Lord knows they can't use the exposure to a mainstream audience to help the sport grow. Nah, let's devote 95% of the show to the two biggest companies (face it, WEC is bigger than Strikeforce) with the huge machine behind them. Let's watch as the insider has an orgasm over Chael Sonnen being in studio.
