BJPENN.COM'S FIST-ta-CUFF Radio 172 Bobonis,Yager,Chandler

Our first guest is no stranger to this show and no stranger to the win column. Shah Bobonis is on a 7 fight win streak and coming off a very impressive win against Cornelius Godfrey in his XFC debut. Shah is now set to take on Pablo Alfonso at CFA 9 on January 19, 2013 in Coral Gables, FL. Get ready to get to know one of the best 135 lb. fighters in the nation not in the UFC. 

You know the rule of not feeding a Mogwai after midnight, well I think someone broke that rule. We got a Gremlin in the house and his name isn’t Spike it’s Josh Sampo and something says it won’t be long until you see him wrecking shop in the UFC. Josh is set to take on Alexis Vila at CFA 9 and with a win there it could mean big things for the Gremlin. Josh is coming off a huge win over Antonio Banuelos back in September and I can’t think of how the competition can get any better outside the UFC.

The man kicking off the second hour has a story I can’t wait to talk about and it all starts on BET. You read that right, I said his MMA career started on BET. Jamie Yager is in the shop and is ready to talk his Bellator MMA debut. Yager was a multiple sport athlete before he ever put on a pair of 4 oz. gloves. Jamie played Baseball, Football, and Wrestled in High School before heading out to College where he played football.

You know I mentioned earlier that we have a champ wrapping things up and a champ is what you’re going to get. This man knows a thing about taking the long road to get what you want. Michael Chandler has worked his way to the top spot without a single shortcut. Chandler didn’t just get a title shot in Bellator he was a product of the tournament format and even took on the Bellator reigning champ Eddie Alvarez in what many believed could have been fight of the year. Michael is set to take on a man who has taken a similar route to get his title shot in Rick Hawn on January 17, in Irvine, CA.
