Rory MacDonald, Liz Carmouche, Firas Zahabi, Francis Carmont on Alchemist Radio

Tonight on Alchemist Radio Mike Ricci will join Bryan Levick as guest co-host and will talk a few familiar voices.

The show will lead off with a prerecorded interview with UFC women's bantamweight contender Liz Carmouche who faces Alexis Davis this Wednesday on UFC Fight for the Troops 3.

Reed Kuhn will call in to discuss that card as well as Saturday night's card in Brazil featuring a main event of Dan Henderson vs. Vitor Belfort.

Tri-Star head coach Firas Zahabi has two huge fights coming up at UFC 167 as UFC welterweight champion George St. Pierre will defend his title against Johny Hendricks and Rory MacDonald will battle Robbie Lawler.

Francis Carmont is another UFC fighter under the tutelage of Zahabi. His win over Costa Philippou at UFC 165 was his 11th straight and ran his UFC record to 6-0.

Speaking of MacDonald he will join us to discuss his preparation for his bout against Lawler and what looks afterward should he and teammate GSP both win. Both men have said they have no desire to fight one another, but as the possibility becomes more realistic neither man can sidestep the question any longer.

Bellator fighter Rick Hawn is preparing to fight in his third tournament final for Bellator. He lost the season four welterweight final then proceeded to win the season six lightweight final before losing to former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler. This season he made the move back to 170 and will face Ron Keslar in the season 9 welterweight finals.

UFC welterweight Rick Story is the only man to have defeated Johny Hendricks and is currently at Tri-Star helping GSP prepare for his title fight against the hard hitting lefty. Story will face Brian Ebersole at UFC 167 as he looks to rebound from a controversial split decision loss to Mike Pyle at UFC 160.

We are airing on Tuesday this week at 8pm EST due to the UFC card on Wednesday night.
