Dave Simon: @davesimonmma

Kevin “Big Tuna” McKough: @TheKevinMMA

This is the April 6, 2012 episode of Ringside Report Radio. Hosted by Dave Simon and Kevin “Big Tuna” McKough.

Georges St-Pierre appeared on this episode to discuss his recovery from knee surgery, Greg Jackson’s role in his fight with Carlos Condit and more.

Bellator women’s fighter Munah Holland was also on the show and talked about her recent win and the prospect of a 125 lbs. women’s tournament in Bellator in 2013.

Instinct MMA president Stephane Patry was on the program to talk about the recent Instinct 3 card in Sherbrooke, Quebec and the June 2 Instinct 4 event that will take place in Montreal.

Black Belt TV’s “Jabbin” J.J. was also interviewed about her show on the Black Belt television channel.

All this and much more MMA on this 2-hour episode of Ringside Report Radio.

Instinct MMA 4 will take place in May in Montreal, Quebec and will feature a light-heavyweight main event of Steve Bosse (9-1) v. Renato “Babalu” Sobral (36-9). Instinct MMA president Stephane Patry recently appeared on Ringside Report Radio and revealed more big names planned for Instinct 4.

Patry announced former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver (25-16) would make his Instinct MMA debut in May in Montreal. Though no opponent has been named for Pulver, Patry indicated it could be someone fighting at Instinct 3 on March 31 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. “Jens Pulver’s opponent could be someone that is fighting on March 31. So I want to wait for some of the results,” Patry said. Pulver currently fights at bantamweight and would make a good challenge for top Quebec prospect Stephane Pelletier (5-1) who is scheduled to fight in one of three bantamweight bouts at Instinct 3.

Stephane Patry also announced Pete Spratt (24-21) will return to Instinct MMA in May after a TKO win over Martin Grandmont (12-6) at Instinct 2 on December 2, 2011 in Quebec City, Quebec. Grandmont will be headlining Instinct 3 on March 31 versus Team Grudge product Brandon Thatch (6-1) but is also scheduled to face UFC veteran Phil Baroni (14-14) in May. “Whether he wins or loses on March 31, he’s fighting Baroni in May,” Patry said “Obviously the only thing that could prevent that fight from happening is a big suspension or a 60 day (suspension) if he loses that fight.” Patry also has plans for Brandon Thatch to fight again for Instinct MMA after a first round TKO win over Patrick Vallee (7-2) at Instinct 2. “Brandon is fighting on March 31 and he’s also fighting in May in Montreal.”

Undefeated light-heavyweight prospect Todd Stoute (4-0) is also one of the fighters competing at Instinct 3 that could be in the plans for the May show. Stoute is from Toronto, Ontario and is 2-0 in Instinct MMA with a co-main event bout at Instinct 3 versus Sebastien Gauthier (6-2). “Todd Stoute if he does well wants to be on the May card as well. A lot of the top guys that are fighting in March in Sherbrooke most of them obviously if there is no injury or suspension will be on the Montreal card.”

Recent Instinct signee Moise Rimbon (18-9) is set to make his promotional debut against a yet unannounced opponent on March 31 but is also slated to fight in Montreal. “ Moise Rimbon who we just signed is going to fight on March 31 is also going to fight in May, if he’s not injured. So, a lot will depend on Sherbrooke.”

Stephane Patry also revealed ongoing negotiations with Eric Esch aka Butterbean (14-10) who fought at Instinct 1 in October 2011. “I’ve been talking to Butterbean in the last couple of days about fighting in May.” Patry said, “ I have an opponent in mind, I just need to make sure he’s healed. He’s injured as we speak. If his opponent is ready to go and he’s healed I think we’re going to have a barn-burner.”

Patry also dismissed stories of Renato “Babalu” Sobral fighting on March 31 in Singapore for ONE FC against Melvin Manhoef. ““Babalu is not fighting on March 31,” Patry stated, “He was scheduled to fight for the One FC promotion against some Japanese Judo player. He showed up in Singapore at the press conference only to learn that his opponent had changed without anybody telling him and that he was now fighting Melvin Manhoef.” Patry also told Ringside Report Radio that Babalu is currently helping Wanderlei Silva coach The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil leading up to Silva’s fight with his opposing coach, Vitor Belfort. “Right now he’s one of the trainers on The Ultimate Fighter with Wanderlei Silva. All he does 24 hours a day is train, eat, sleep.” Patry also noted that UFC heavyweight Fabricio Werdum would be in Babalu’s corner for his bout with Steve Bosse.

Although Instinct 4 will take place in May, Patry did not give an exact date. “We don’t know for sure the date in May yet. It could be the end of May. It could be the middle of May. We don’t know yet,” Patry said.  “Honestly I’m talking with 3 different venues right now in Montreal. That’s one of the reasons why I can’t announce the exact date. I reserved a couple of dates with the commission but each venue has a different schedule conflict. So it can’t be the same day in all three venues, otherwise I would tell the date already,” Patry told Ringside Report Radio. “We know that a fight between Babalu and Bosse will bring at least 8000 people. So if you do your research you will find out (which venues are possible). ”

Patry also stated he wanted to do “something special” for Instinct’s first show in Montreal.  “We’re going to do stuff like meet-and-greets. We’re probably going to do afternoon fights free for the fans. So whoever has never seen MMA live before will be able to come in for free. Watch 3 or 4 fights that we’re going to offer there and buy tickets to see the big card at night.”

Dave Simon: @davesimonmma

Kevin “Big Tuna” McKough: @TheKevinmma

Bosse  is coming off a huge victory over Houston Alexander at Instinct MMA’s inaugural show last October. With that victory Bosse adds Alexander to his resume of notable victories that include Wes Sims and Marvin Eastman. However, now “The Boss” is definitely stepping up in competition, and taking on his toughest test to date when he takes on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black belt, Renato “Babalu” Sobral in May.

Sobral has become one of the most recognizable names in MMA since his debut in 1997 fighting in UFC, STRIKEFORCE, and Affliction. With notable victories over Maurice Smith, Rameau Thierry Sokudjou, Trevor Prangley, Mike Van Arsdal, Jeremy Horn, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (twice), Chael Sonnen and Robbie Lawler; not to mention he’s gone toe-to-toe with Gegard Mousasi, Dan Henderson, Chuck Liddell and Fedor Emelianenko. The Former STRIKEFORCE Light Heavyweight champion was last seen in a losing effort to #2 P4P ranked Dan Henderson, but is currently working hand in hand with Wanderlei Silva as part of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil reality show, and will be cornered by Heavyweight star Fabricio Werdum for this bout. Interesting enough, that late December of 2011, Sobral apparently signed an exclusivity deal with Singaporean MMA promotion ONE FC, and is slated to fight on their March 31st card against Melvin Manhoef.

The exact date and venue of Instinct 4 has yet to be determined, nor have any other bouts been announced. Rumors are circulating that event is slated for May 5th at the Bell Centre. Instinct MMA President Stephane Patry is scheduled to appear on Ringside Report Radio Wednesday, February 22nd to give further details on both Instinct 3 March 31st and Instinct 4.

UFC middleweight Mike Massenzio was interviewed on this episode and talked about his recent win at UFC 136 over Steve Cantwell.

Post-fight interviews from Instinct MMA 1 with Patrick Cote, Todd Stoute and Eric “Butterbean” Esch were also aired on this show.

Dave and Kevin discussed the results from UFC 136 and Instinct MMA 1 including Frankie Edgar’s win over Gray Maynard, Chael Sonnen’s victory over Brian Stann and Steve Bosse defeating Houston Alexander.

All this plus much more MMA talk on this 2-hour episode of Ringside Report Radio.

Instinct MMA kicked off the weekend on Friday night with an amazing card at the Centre D’Excellence Sports Rousseau in Boisbriand, Quebec. Although he has spent some time away from the cage, Steve Bosse looked amazing in his main event bout against Houston Alexander with a knockout victory. The card also included Patrick Cote, Butterbean, Martin Grandmont, and a great win for Derek Gauthier. More details click here. (Full Instinct MMA 1: Bosse vs. Alexander event results below.)

At UFC 136 in Houston, Texas the world finally got the “Answer” of who the best Lightweight fighter in the world is, when Frankie Edgar avenged his only blemishes on his record by knocking out Gray Maynard in the fourth round. Maynard repeated his aggressive style of coming out strong and dangerous in the first, but using his great striking Edgar proceeded to pick a part Maynard and dropped him in the fourth causing the referee to call the action when Maynard was not defending himself. UFC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo retained his championship against Kenny Florian by keeping the fight standing. It was evident that the weight cut took its toll on Florian as he was unsuccessful in his take down attempts. Trash talking Chael Sonnen racked up another win in his pursuit to get back in title contention over Brian Stann. After being away from the cage for over a year Sonnen showed no cage rust and submitted Stann in the second round. (Full UFC 136 event results below.)

Bellator held the semi finals of their Season 5 Welterweight Tournament on Saturday at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma. Ben Saunders and Douglas Lima both advanced to the finals by finishing off their opponents. (Full Bellator 53 event results below.)

Victory MMA held their third event on Saturday night with 12 amateur action packed bouts including three kickboxing and nine MMA bouts. JKS’s Xavier Aloui captured the Victory MMA Bantamweight title in 25 seconds, when he submitted Josh Harley via arm bar and improves to 6-0. The night also saw some amazing knockouts with Mike McKenna ground and pounding his way to victory in 50 seconds and Chris Cleveland knocking out John Bryd in 18 seconds. (Full Victory MMA 3: Young Guns event results below.)
