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 Wednesday's UFC on FUEL TV 1, which is headlined by a welterweight showdown between Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez and a heavyweight bout between Stefan Struve and Dave Herman. We'll preview the evening's bouts while taking your calls, emails, tweets and comments.
We'll also discuss all the latest news in MMA.
We'll be joined by UFC middleweight Tim Boetsch as he prepares for a huge bout against former top contender Yushin Okami later this month at UFC 144 in Japan. We'll chat with him about this fight, getting such a big fight early in his middleweight tenure, the challenges fighting in Japan presents and much more.

i know it is old news but
I would like to know how it felt for Tim to come in on short notice for his UFC debut and put a highlight reel on Heath like he did

WE AREEEEEEEEEEEEEE LIVE!
Matt Bishop - February 14, 2012
Howdy all.
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
hey Mountaineers
a new addict of The Verbal Submission!
Brian Hemminger - February 14, 2012
Ben Thapa puts asses in seats…that host is pretty nubs though!
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
Sunday nights, right?
Is it just as wiki-wiki-wild as BE radio?
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
I would totally check it out
but I’m kinda biased
Brian Hemminger - February 14, 2012
Tempting....
but do you have better audio equipment management on the verbal submission than you do during BE radio?
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
Sup, guys
and (rumored) gal(s).
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
Pec pop of love.
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
I can dig it. Do it.
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
There's more than a possibility for a lot of great action....
I’d say plan for it.
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
Strangely…Brian doesn’t have these technical difficulties for The Verbal Submission.
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
Listen all y'all...
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
Brian said his favorite fighter was Stefan Struve. You need to do a review show to capture that fresh disappointment when Struve gets KTFO’d.
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
so disappointed
but I was back on track for his fight with Barry
Brian Hemminger - February 14, 2012
Comcast owns NBC. FOX owns FUEL. Coincidence?
Machiel Van - February 14, 2012
OH. MY. GOD. Is this sad or what?

mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
Can't fault the guy for trying....
but yeah, he kinda let himself go there for a bit, and lost a lot of support.
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
Tim: I don’t like you because even in this video where you’re trying to appeal to fans’ sympathies you have to try to build up your own image by trashing other fighters. You had your chance, now it’s time to go away.
Machiel Van - February 14, 2012
It’s like he woke up all of a sudden and realized “Damn, I’m past my athletic prime and have wasted the last 3 and a half years, better try one last run while I can potentially make money off my fading name.”
On the other hand, maybe he just thought “Man, I miss being able to see my penis. What could motivate me to get back in shape?”
Machiel Van - February 14, 2012
UFC lightweight division could be erased again!
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
If Rampage wants to excite me....
he can check a leg kick, and attempt to slam Ryan Bader through the canvas.
SteveevaD - February 14, 2012
SCOTT SMITH JUST BLEED WARRRR@
@@$%#
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
Damn, would love to see Fodor – Healy. Don’t really care about the Kaufman fight though.. but yeah, horrible decision.
Horselover Fat - February 14, 2012
I don't know much about Scott Smith's personal life, but he seems like one of these guys that doesn't have much options outside of slugging it in a cage.
pud333 - February 14, 2012
Would be inclined to agree.
Matt Bishop - February 14, 2012
Do you have an estimated time for the Boetsch interview?
Horselover Fat - February 14, 2012
10 minutes from now.
Matt Bishop - February 14, 2012
Cool, thanks. Then my shower shall have to wait.
Horselover Fat - February 14, 2012
When they announced this bout, I thought that “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers was coming back.
mountaineers101 - February 14, 2012
Brian's morse code translator crapped out on him again.
pud333 - February 14, 2012
I wouldn't be surprised if Okami overwhelmed him.
I think Okami is looking for a big win after that Silva embarassment, and it’s also in Japan, so that’s a plus.
pud333 - February 14, 2012
Boetsch's redneck judo is just beautiful.
pud333 - February 14, 2012
BREAKING NEWS: to see nude pics of (former?) ring card girl Chandella Powell, google pic search “Mariah Ashton”
Horselover Fat - February 14, 2012
Welcome to yesterday, pal.
Matt Bishop - February 14, 2012
Then why was I not informed earlier!?
Horselover Fat - February 14, 2012
You spent yesterday under a rock?
Matt Bishop - February 14, 2012
I did not know this. If I weren’t at work, I’d totally check.
pud333 - February 14, 2012
No, I was right here, buddy boy. Clearly I’m not paying enough attention though.
Horselover Fat - February 14, 2012
Thanks everybody for listening!
