Opening up the second hour of show 183 is a woman known as Lights Out and did I mention that she is also a first in the sport with her sister. We have one half of the first set of twins to compete in MMA and it’s Jocelyn Lybarger. We have so much to talk about with Jocelyn; from how her and Jillian got started in the sport, training at the MMA Lab, her upcoming fight for King of the Cage Saturday May 25th, and of course the recent support of Ronda Rousey for both twins to be placed on the upcoming Invicta FC card. Jocelyn is set to try out for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter so you know that we will of course talk her getting ready and the possibility of her and her sister both making the show.

Veronica “V-Rod” LoCurto is back in the shop and with the recent events in Women’s MMA we have plenty to talk about. We are going to talk the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, having women and men on this season, and if a female from outside the organization is good enough to get a contract. You know we have to talk about Fallon Fox and the upcoming CFA tournament and no one but V-Rod would be better to handle this situation. Did I forget to mention that Invicta FC has a stacked card coming up, I hope you are all ready for a solid half hour of the hottest WMMA topics to be covered by one of the best in the sport.

“Cris has shown in Strikeforce, why she’s so dominant, why women are afraid of her. She has three fights with Invicta, she will be the world champion and she will walk away a world champion. Like I said, New Year’s Eve, let’s make a super fight. Forget the title. Champion vs. champion, who cares about the title? Fans want to see a fight and as a manager, I want to make sure that this fight happens and that’s why we didn’t sign with anybody else, with any competition against the UFC. I want to work with UFC and I want to give fighters the opportunity to fight on the biggest stage in the world as I fought for 15 years. I was excited for the reaction for women fighting and women’s fighting is here to stay and it isn’t going anywhere.”
