Speechless. 😔

After nearly 15 years, today will be my last show on SiriusXM Radio. The company is turning Fight Nation into a pro wrestling channel, replacing all MMA and boxing programs. Fifteen years is a long time in one place—especially in this business—and I’m grateful to have had a unique platform to force my opinions on others. SiriusXM really did put together one hell of an MMA team. Just look at the list of people I’ve co-hosted with: Michael Bisping, AJ Hawk, Miesha Tate, Anthony Smith, Alan Jouban, Din Thomas, Angela Hill, Dan Hardy, Sean O'Connell, Jordan Breen (RIP), Luke Thomas, Jimmy Smith, Ryan McKinnell, Andreas Hale, and more. So many MMA broadcasting careers were launched by cutting their teeth at SiriusXM. There’s never a perfect time to lose a show, but I’m lucky to have a few oars in the water. I’ll announce my next move(s) in the months to come. But most importantly: I Love This Sport. Being a radio host is great—but using my voice, my context, my analysis, and my experience to help shape this sport in some small way... that’s what truly matters to me. I hope all of you listeners enjoyed the fun, remembered the analysis, felt the passion, and tolerated the vulgar humor.
