Check out the blog to read my exclusive with Jon Anik, who discusses his start with MMA Live, some of the challenges of running the show, and the obstacles he sees between MMA and regular mainstream media coverage.

That's a good read. I get frustrated when anyone advocates doing away with elbows on the ground, but if the reward was far wider mainstream acceptance, maaaybe I could learn to live with it. It would be interesting to see what percentage of cuts in high level MMA really are caused by elbows on the ground.

It's usually on at about 130am to 2am on Friday mornings. If you have DVR, just set that beast up to record it.
