And, as promised, here is our chat with Edwards as he nears one of the most important fights of his illustrious career. Important because it was less than a year ago that Edwards had lost five of his last six bouts and, needless to say, some were wondering if he should call it quits. Three victories later, though, the Yves Edwards bandwagon is back in full force and he now finds himself one win away from full redemption. Other topics he touched on included: The Elite XC/CBS deal Will this fight be televised on CBS (I’m going to keep asking until I get answers damn it!)

So, naturally, it only made sense for Tito Ortiz to hit the final stop of “the big four” and make his debut at JarryPark.com. I tried my best not to ask him the usual stuff we’ve been hearing and while some of it was inevitable you’ll definitely find some interesting nuggets in there. First off, Ortiz discussed the highly-anticipated release of Zombie Strippers. I had to ask. Then, we spoke about whether his fight against Lyoto Machida on 5/24 will, in fact, be his last for the UFC (while all signs point to yes he did seem to leave some hope). We later talked about the demise of Ken Shamrock and whether he believes the 44-year-old threw the Buzz Berry fight (completely ludicrous if you ask me). Finally, we spoke about which promotions he may be interested in fighting for as well his run in TNA Wrestling. I always thought TNA could have done a hell of a lot more with Ortiz but he seemed to disagree... First came Fight Network Radio, then The Howard Stern Show followed by HollyScoop.com.

Would it remain Mauro Ranallo or would the network look to bring in new talent? This might be the chance Gus Johnson has been waiting for. Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since the announcement and still no word on who will get the mic. So, The Fight Network’s John Pollock decided to hold an open casting call for any broadcaster in the business hoping to throw his (or her) name in the hat. Not surprisingly, the call was a success as the likes of Larry Merchant, Don West and Michael Buffer showed up. A solid crew, indeed.

It’s a little something we like to call “Pollock’s POV.” This week, the Prodigy tackles the always head-scratching world of TNA wrestling. As Total Nonstop Action approaches its six year anniversary, the biggest question floating around the wrestling world is what needs to be done to take this promotion to the next level. Striking a deal with Spike TV? Perhaps. Moving to Thursday nights? Maybe. Two hours in prime time? Eh. So, Pollock has devised a perfect plan that will surely help rise TNA to the top. I can’t think of one person who would not be in favor of this. tag:odeo.com,2008-02-25,17792073 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:54:21 -0800 no JarryPark.com http://odeo.com/episodes/17790723-Rob-Yundt-02-25-08 JarryPark.com’s combat sports interview of the day is with UFC fighter Rob Yundt.
