Bloody Elbow Radio, presented by Bad Boy, will be LIVE! at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT for another edition of the show. Join hosts Matt Bishop and MMA Mania's Brian Hemminger as they preview this weekend's UFC 142, which is headlined by a world featherweight championship bout between Jose Aldo and top challenger Chad Mendes and a middleweight affair between former light-heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort and Anthony Johnson.
We'll preview all the evening's bouts while taking your calls, emails, tweets and comments.
We're scheduled to be joined by MFC light-heavyweight Dwayne Lewis as he prepares for his five-round main event bout with UFC veteran Wilson Gouveia on Jan. 27 at MFC 32 in Edmonton. We'll chat with him about that bout, what's kept him out of the ring for nearly a year and much more.

Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
Hello
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
BREAKING: Bellator Brian doesn’t read his mail.
Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
He sends messages through via The Pony Express.
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
IS THERE A WARRANT OUT FOR BRIAN?
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
Brian bartered them a VHS player and a Betamax for it…
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
I got sent to a collection agency over leaving AOl last year despite owing them nothing. I got harrased by them for six months despite owing them nothing. Surprisingly it stopped after I consulted my Uncle’s Law firm.
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
I got a gift card for IKEA for christmas.. sadly I don’t really need anything from there, and I don’t want to go there. Could have used the cash though.. thanks parents!
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
You can’t steal other people’s money if it’s electronic…..
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012
Brian just got that new Prince cassette that came out…Red Rain or Purple Storm or something like that…?
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
Haha. It’s just that we go there so often that we kind of get sick of it with age. We are all immensely proud though! I already have an IKEA office chair that I stole from the attic at my last apartment house, it’s great.. thanks neighbors!
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
Isn’t Brian’s ATM card also a debit card? Mine is
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
you may have already said it but doesnt electronic monopoly defeat the point, the game was originally created to teach children math and money management skill. also are there overdraft fees in the game now?
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
skipbo
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
skip-bo owns
Brian Hemminger - January 12, 2012
UNO!
Love that game, we used to play it all the time when we got stoned instead of studying in college. We created evil custom cards like the “three step rocket” and such.. ah, good times.
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
better learn portugese
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
believe me
I’m working on it
Brian Hemminger - January 12, 2012
Great idea! Good luck.
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
1am in Rio is like 6pm in minnesota>>>
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
call him RoSto
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Great, I don’t have to stay up till 4pm over here now to watch something. How does aldo ever cope normally having fights in the us then?
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012
4am rather
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012
“Bellator” Brian “Brazil” Hemminger
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
sounds portugese anyway
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Shock Horror
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
Brian
The Cyborg – Carano fight was close till the end! I re-watched it a few month ago and let me tell you, it doesn’t matter how much Forrest disses Carano, she held her own till the end.
killphil - January 12, 2012
Cerrano*
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
+1
Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
I actually had the picture of an utter destruction in my head too, but I was surprised how good Cerrano fought. Cerrano was just a bit dumb and inexperienced on the ground, when she was on top and simply stood up. I guess she didn’t want to get submitted.
Cerrano…. yiep ;-)
killphil - January 12, 2012
because Cyborg’s ground game is so good?
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
No
I guess because she wasn’t confident in hers.
killphil - January 12, 2012
Nas’ hit “Eth Thur?”
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
Any questions for Lewis?
Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
not a question
but he sounds like Jerry from Fargo
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
Who are some of his favorite fighters to watch? What inspired him to begin martial arts? And what did he do in his down time during recovery?
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
What are the differences between training for a 3- and a 5-round fight?
killphil - January 12, 2012
Is Goveia his ‘bitter rival’?
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
seconded
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
question for Lewis
When he eventually finishes fighting and is looking back on his career, what things he’s learned will be the most prized?
rohedron - January 12, 2012
thanks Matt, you chose a good moment to ask.
rohedron - January 12, 2012
do you cut weight to get to 205? and if so how much?
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Wilson “The Gym Champion” Gouveia
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
That’s what his trainers and teammates say.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
Question: Which event will end up with a better buyrate, UFC 142 or WEC 48?
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
WEC 48.
mountaineers101 - January 12, 2012
nah
WEC 48 did what… 175K?
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
i hpoe the nickname has no relationship to “driving range champion”.
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
wooooohooooo!!!!
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
what does Brian make of Alvarez’s decision to not participate in the LW tournament
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
Terry Etim vs edson barboza-fight of the night perhaps? standup war!
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012
I’m gonna be at the bar wathcin both!!!
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Watered down PPV is watered down..
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
This show should be on FX.
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
Lol.
UFC 5 was huge! It’ll definitely beat 142 in the buyrate department.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
And if you think I’m being sarcastic, look it up.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
Lowest post TUF PPV was UFC 53 which did 90,000
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
That’s not much of a “Heavy Hitter” :P
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
I’m not going to count that either.
Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
They took off after UFC 57. That’s a good cutoff date.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
UFC 72 did 200,000 buys
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
Cards that are broadcast LIVE from Europe always do atrociously. UFC 99 would’ve done the same except it had Wanderlei AND Rich Franklin AND CroCop. UFC 72 was Rich Franklin against Okami. This is a big reason why they do all the Europe shows via tape delay on TV, or adjust the timing of the live event so that they air in the standard 7-10 PM PST time-slot.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
Aldo is a pretty good BJJ Black Belt
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
Over/Under 2:30 minutes for this one?
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
Over.
See: Anthony Johnson vs Dan Hardy.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
This is either gonna be short and violent or a fifteen minute wrestling match.
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
I’ve talked a lot of crap about Johnson cutting to welterweight. It never made any sense and I always thought he was a bit of a coward for it.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
This will be a takedown fest.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
just finished watching Vetor fighting with corn rolls in, didn’t know he rocked that style, too funny!
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
vitor’s fought bigger and better wrestlers than rumble johnson…
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012
Vitor’s
foughtlost to bigger, better wrestlers than Anthony Johnson.Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
von-der-lay?
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
who
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Brian is busy lamenting the fact that Eddie Alvarez won’t be in the next Bellator tournament.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
not the end of the world
Brian Hemminger - January 12, 2012
yes. yes he does
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
That's not Brian's actual voice! They dubbed it!
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
Which leg is Palhares gonna rip off? Left or Right?
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
I shutter to think
what would happen if he got someone in a neck crank…
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
8/10
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
that came up about a week ago dude
Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
the whole yamma. harsh
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012
I used to use the "arrow in the knee" meme,
Then someone put an arrow through my face.
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
I'm sure you deserved it...
HA HA!
Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
im on the line, you should answer my call so i can give my locks and upsets
jbmoviefan - January 12, 2012
Good predictions there! Completely agree about Njokuani and Pearsons striking, two of the absolute best in those divisions for sure.
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
Also agree that Prater could give Silva some trouble, or at least hang in there longer than a round.
Horselover Fat - January 12, 2012
Very nice…really like those picks.
Jesus H. Christ - January 12, 2012
Ricardo Arona is fighting Satoshii Ishii in March apparently
http://oneround.com.br/ricardo-arona-vs-satoshi-ishii-no-brasil/
Google Translate:
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
nevermind Arona denied it
MattParker117 - January 12, 2012
Stout opened as the favorite and was eventually bet to the dog.
Jesus H. Christ - January 12, 2012
Ah, interesting. Thanks for the info.
Matt Bishop - January 12, 2012
Is the carvhalho vs arantes fight the only one on facebook? cant find any other listed
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012

Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
They didn’t want to waste it on FUEL TV :P
Machiel Van - January 12, 2012
gd, more people watch it then :)
UK MMA MAN - January 12, 2012

Our Bovine Public - January 12, 2012
