Sunday March 10, we kick BJPenn.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF Radio off at 7:30 PM PST with the head instructor and co-founder of American Top Team. Ricardo was named the 13th most powerful player in MMA in the Fight! Power rankings which means this is a perfect guest to talk to about the current state of MMA. We will talk to Ricardo about the history of ATT, his time learning martial arts from a young age (He got his start in combat sports at 4 years old), and the program he has at ATT to teach judo to visually impaired students. Ricardo’s story of getting into BJJ, to his leaving the famed Gracie academy, creating Brazilian Top Team, and ending up in the states to start ATT is worthy of a movie and we will be talking all of it. I couldn’t think of a better way to start out the show then to have a man who has won Gold at the first ever “Mundials,” or World Jiu-Jitsu Championship & Gold in the International Masters Mundials. Follow Ricardo on twitter @LiborioATT

The man wrapping up the show this week has seen all the madness that has happened inside the Bellator FC cage this year. Manny Rodriguez is back in the shop and that means you are in for a treat. Manny “Mean Bean” Rodriguez is one of the men who holds it down on the mic for the Bellator FC and he’s had a front seat for all the fights this year. Bellator has put on some amazing fights, some huge upsets, and an amazing season of tournament fights so far. We will talk to Manny about everything that has gone down up to this point and of course what is left for the rest of the year. Think about it we are only in March and we have seen so much already.

BJPenn.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF Radio kicks off show 178 with a man you don’t want to sleep on when it comes to The Bellator Middleweight Tournament. Brett “Fudoshin” Cooper opens up the show and we have so much to discuss, from his five fight win streak, to his match-up in the Bellator Final, to having to overcome the beast that is the Bellator Tournament format. Brett has dominated his fights to get to his final match up with Dan Cramer. The fight should be a typical Bellator finals match up, which just screams fireworks for fans. Get ready to get to know a man who is looking for a title fight and hungry to pick up another win inside the Bellator cage to get to his shot at the belt. Follow Brett on twitter @BrettCopperMMA

Randy Couture finds himself in a bit of a pickle. According to UFC President Dana White he is no longer allowed to attend any UFC events. He is banned for life for signing with SPIKE TV and Bellator.

“The judge must not have done his homework if he’s agreeing that Spike TV and FOX are the same platforms,” exclaimed White. “They’re so f–king far apart, it’s not even funny. It’s two different f–king universes. “I saw in their argument where they said, ‘Oh, Spike launches pay-per-views.’ No, actually they don’t. That’s not true. We did. What they’re doing is, they’re saying — not as much Spike, as Viacom — has been saying, ‘We built the UFC.’ No you f–king did not. No you did not, you arrogant, pompous jackass. You did not build the UFC. We’ll see if you did.
