On this week's edition of The MMA Hour, MDS and I were joined in studio by The Fight Network's John Pollock to discuss Fedor Emelianenko signing with Strikeforce and what this means for all the parties involved. We also previewed UFC 101's co-main event of Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva and BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian.

Later in the show, we were joined by WEC general manager Reed Harris to talk about Sunday's WEC 42 event and the organization's continuous expansion. Check out the show below.

On this week's edition of The MMA Hour, MDS, Mike Chiappetta and I discuss the aftermath of Affliction canceling "Trilogy" and joining forces with the UFC. Where does Fedor Emelianenko go from here? How does this affect Strikeforce? What will be Afflction Entertainment's legacy? Those questions and more were answered.

Plus, we were joined by WEC bantamweight contender, Joseph Benavidez, to talk about his upcoming fight against Dominick Cruz on August 9. The winner of that bout looks to be the No.1 contender in the WEC's 135-pound division. Check out the show below.

Get this: Josh Barnett was a guest on this week's edition of The MMA Hour just hours before learning that he had tested positive for an anabolic steroid and would not be granted a license by the California State Athletic Commission to face Fedor Emelianenko on August 1. Kind of makes the interview all that more interesting days later.

MDS and I also spoke to FanHouse columnist, Kevin Blackistone, about his recent article on Brock Lesnar's post-UFC 100 antics and his thoughts on the growth of MMA. Enjoy the show below.

This week's edition of FightHouse Radio was so great that we actually decided to permanently change the name of our weekly MMA show to The MMA Hour. And on this new and improved edition of the podcast, Mike Chiappetta and I talked about all things UFC 100. From the intriguing storylines to fight breakdowns to reminiscing about how far the UFC has come -- we seemingly covered it all on this historic week. Please enjoy the show below.

Behold another exciting edition of FightHouse Radio. This week, MDS and I were joined in studio by UFC lightweight fighter, Kurt Pellegrino, who faces Josh Neer at UFC 101 in August. Pellegrino talked about preparing for Neer and the difficult life of a pro fighter. We were also joined on the phone by Pellegrino's training parter and good friend, WEC bantamweight champion, Miguel Torres. Listen or watch the show below.
