The Hammer MMA Radio - Episode 243

The Hammer MMA Radio crew are on the way to Montreal for UFC 186: Johnson vs. Horiguchi.  Joining us on that trip, as well as on this episode, are Fightland contributer Shawn Smith and The Hammer MMA Canada host Rob Veevers. This is an extra-long two hour episode that begins with a huge preview of UFC 186. There hasn't been a ton of mainstream interest in this event but we break down the entire card from the UFC Flyweight Championship main event to the Fight Pass exclusive Women's Strawweight fights. Following that Rob Veevers takes over the middle segment of the show to discuss MMA in Canada, including a likely Titan FC event in June, a Global Warriors event in Ontario next month, and some discussion as to why live MMA has essentially disapeared from the province of Ontario. Finally we wrap up this massive episode with a full recap of last Saturday night's UFC On Fox: Rockhold vs. Machida, and a preview of Friday night's Invicta FC 12: Kankaanpaa vs. Souza. Keep checking back all week for multiple bonus episodes on location from Montreal including interviews with many of the fighters competing at UFC 186. Hosted by Steve Jeffery, Dave Abraham, and Greg Persson.  Listen to us Wednesday nights at 6:30pm on CFMU 93.3 FM, and online at http://www.thehammermma.com, Last Word On Sports, The Itunes Store, Stitcher, MMAPodcast.com, Player.FM, find @SteveJeffery on Twitter, or just email us.
