MMA INTERVIEWS
Jon Anik, the host of ESPN.com's ground-breaking news show "MMA Live," joined us today on MMARated Radio.
We had a fascinating conversation about the television side of things as well as some hot-button topics around the sport:
* How did the show come about?
* Deciding what stories to cover
* ESPN's interest in MMA
* The evolution of the show
* Randy Couture, Dana White and Brock Lesnar's trip to Bristol
* The lack of promotion for the next EliteXC SHOW
All that plus Anik's prediction as to if (or when) we will see "MMA Live" on ESPN or ESPN2.
"MMA Live" premieres every Thursday afternoon on ESPN.com. If you haven't seen it yet, which I doubt, do yourself a favor and check it out.

what's te % you think of "MMA fans" who are listen to that ESPN show who dont know what Sengoku is? I'm guess 80-90% dont. Yes, you are an Anik nut-hugger but he is the only one on that show i can stand. He a good professional broadcaster. he knows enough not to look dumb and knows which buttons to push or not to push. but mmalive, its probably 7th on ma liste of podcasts/multimedia like mmarated, tagg, fightlinker and so on. i would rather just troll youtube for random mma fights. it is sick that nogueira is tied up like a poodle on television instead of fighting in the prime of his career. fighters fight. the do sambo, they do abu dhabi and those kind of events. minotauro is being paraded like a kept women instead of fighting. in 2006 in PRIDE, Nog fought 5x include his NYE rematch win against Barnett. In UFC he once fought Herring in 2007 and Sylvia in Feb 2008. Not war Nog, yes Hollywood.
