“I feel like at times [Askren]’s being used as a pawn from one promotion to the other, personally. I mean, if [Bellator] doesn’t want him, let him go. I would love to see that fight happen, for sure. But Georges is talking about retiring, for one. Two, in order to make a title fight at welterweight in the UFC, they need footage to promote Ben, which they don’t have. “Bjorn’s got to know it’s a very hard asking for Dana, ‘let’s do this.’ Realistically you need footage and a contender fight. Where do we get the footage of Ben Askren in the background to promote this? Because Bellator owns this, and another TV company owns this. There’s a lot of things behind the scenes that just couldn’t happen. It’s weird, because [my] fighters are like my children. A week ago, Ben was down. He gets this told to him, he’s happier than a kid on Christmas.”

This episode of FIST-ta-CUFF Radio is dedicated to friend of the show, Mr. Barry Meyer, a man who has done more for MMA then could ever by typed… Barry passed away on October 15, 2013.

“Miesha and I know each other real well. I hate the bitch and she is secretly in love with me. I can tell just the way she looks at me and all that shit. She can’t leave me alone, you know what I mean? I know she has a big crush, but we’re never getting together. I’m not into her, you know? She’s disgusting. No, I don’t know. I don’t care what she says. She’s got her nose in everyone’s business, so I think it’s fucked up to say since I hadn’t even fought yet, it’s already dropping her little seed in Dana’s ear. I’m going to knee her in the cooter for that one, you know what I mean? I’m going to knee her or something really hot. I’m going to go crazy. I’ve been wanting to fight her for a long time. That would be a great fight. She’s friends with one of my exes, so apparently she knows every single thing about me. But she knows everything about everyone else in the sport, so Miesha digs her own grave everywhere. I have always not liked her and I’ll continue to not like her, so she can say whatever she wants.” TUF 18 contestant, Tonya Evinger, is steaming mad over Miesha Tate’s attitude. The female fighter was invited to ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ season 18 taping only to lose in the opening round to BJPENN.COM Blogger, Raguel Pennington.
