September 22 2008 Tough Talk
Tough Talk returns with a very special interview with UFC’s President
of European Operations Marshall Zelaznik. He gives a first-ever
glimpse into the financials behind the European expansion, Lorenzo
Fertitta’s exact role in developing the brand, how ticket sales are
doing for Birmingham, TUF9 US vs UK, why Michael Bisping hasn’t yet
been announced as a TUF coach, coming to Scotland and Ireland,
expanding into the European continent and Randy Couture’s role in the
expansion, self-regulation, drug testing and what would – and in fact:
did – happen in case of a failure, WEC coming to the UK and much more.
Mike Sawyer and Oliver Copp then review last week’s Ultimate Fight
Night, including Clay Guida’s fighting style, and go into detail on
the first episode of TUF8. 76 minutes of MMA – no excuses.
