As you can see by the picture for our next guest he isn’t in the fight business to play games, he entered the Bellator tournament for two things. His check and his shot at the title; he got his check, but a hand injury has kept him from getting his chance at the belt. We will talk to Daniel about his time out healing from the injury, what he has done to stay busy knowing that he is the next #1 contender, watching others go through the Bellator Tournament Format, and more. Daniel has been a stable on FIST-ta-CUFF Radio since before our move to BJPenn.com so don’t miss this interview cause we got a man that is determined to take what he has worked hard to claim.

Veronica “V-Rod” LoCurto is back in the shop and with the recent events in Women’s MMA we have plenty to talk about.

You know we have to talk about Fallon Fox and the upcoming CFA tournament and no one but V-Rod would be better to handle this situation. Did I forget to mention that Invicta FC has a stacked card coming up, I hope you are all ready for a solid half hour of the hottest WMMA topics to be covered by one of the best in the sport.

Sunday March 10, we kick BJPenn.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF Radio off at 7:30 PM PST with the head instructor and co-founder of American Top Team. Ricardo was named the 13th most powerful player in MMA in the Fight! Power rankings which means this is a perfect guest to talk to about the current state of MMA. We will talk to Ricardo about the history of ATT, his time learning martial arts from a young age (He got his start in combat sports at 4 years old), and the program he has at ATT to teach judo to visually impaired students. Ricardo’s story of getting into BJJ, to his leaving the famed Gracie academy, creating Brazilian Top Team, and ending up in the states to start ATT is worthy of a movie and we will be talking all of it. I couldn’t think of a better way to start out the show then to have a man who has won Gold at the first ever “Mundials,” or World Jiu-Jitsu Championship & Gold in the International Masters Mundials. Follow Ricardo on twitter @LiborioATT
