KOTO MMA (Knights of the Octagon)

This week it was Chucky Cheats birthday and man was it a great show! Chucky, Kayak, Teabaggins and SoCo were all drinking, celebrating and shooting the breeze with 4 amazing guests. First Shorty Rock Sean Santella makes his first appearance on the show and he was great. The local Flyweight beast talks teaching at Miller Bros., GPG, SoCo and cherries, Pink hair and the road to the UFC. Can't wait to shoulder dip with him in the future. We then added our resident hitman, Teddy Holder. Teddy was awesome as always just shooting breeze... he cut us a bumper, had no clue who Evan Thompson was and then left abruptly to feed Jonah to the whale. Evan Thompson joined us and talked Texas, fighting, training and even how they settled things in the Thompson house growing up. Looks like we will need Dad and wonderboy to join us soon. The show wraps us with one of our favorite UFC fighters, James Vick. We talk winning, seeing him at UFC 184, his smoking Voodoo lady, possible opponents and calling out Jesus Chiesa. We will need to get James over Chucky Cheats castle nest time there is a KOTO gathering. Thanks for listening and interacting. Like the Facebook page, follow us on twitter, iTunes and Stitcher. Happy Bday Chuck!

See you all again next Monday night!!

This week we catch up with our pal Lee "The American Bulldog" Morrison. Lee tells us what has gone on since he last stepped inside the cage about a year ago... His bulldog mix Otis, his son Max that will be here next month and a refocus on his training regiment to come back better than ever when he battles the featherweight Ivan Dragos of the world over in Russia. Lee makes his return to the cage at M-1 Challenge 58 in Ingushetia, Russia on June 6th against Pavel Vitruk. Good luck to Lee, we can't wait to tune in and cheer him on.

The show this week goes off the rail a bunch of times while we poke fun a Mark Munoz' retirement, make some bets on the upcoming UFC card and it all comes to a head when James Vick gives us the wrong number and we crank call an old timer down south. Never a dull moment with KOTO crew. James did give us the correct number and he will be on the June 1st show (Sir Chucky Cheats Birthday Special!).

Lee Morrison is about to plant the American Flag in Russia!

KOTO? Who in Tarnation is this??

We will be back on Monday night with Sean "Shorty Rock" Santella and Evan "The Titan" Thompson

Great show this week as our pal Willy Sisca joins Sir Kayak, Sir Chucky Cheats and Sir SoCo to talk to NJ boys, brother and UFC Vets Dan and Jim Miller. Dan and Jim have recently opened the Miller Brother Mixed Martial Arts gym and even though Dan is nowhere to be found on the website, this is already on its way to becoming an elite training facility. Dan talks about family, getting back into the cage after a long hiatus and a possible reality show. Jim follows shortly thereafter and talks about the UFC Reebok sponsorship, zombie apocalypse and what the future holds for him. Sir Kayak was in fan boy heaven talking to two of his favorite all-time UFC fighters. It is so hard not to root for the local boys. Willy Sisca takes a break from tending to his own brood of little people (there must be something in the NJ water) to co-host and shoot the breeze with the crew. Thanks to everyone for listening, tell a friend and take a minute to write us a 5 star review on iTunes.

Dan Miller is back on July 12th!

Jim Miller is not looking to be Rick Grimes

Check out the new training ground!

This week the 4 main cogs of the KOTO clan sit around and shoot the breeze. A whole different type of show as there are no guests, no structure, no list of topics and of course not safe for work. Fear not we have guests booked through the middle of June so lots of interaction opportunities for the listeners on the horizon. Make sure to join our chat channel http://mixlr.com/kotomma/ so you can ask questions while we are live and interact with us and the guests. Please take some time to give us a 5 star rating in iTunes and like us on Stitcher Radio app. Tell a friend and spread the word of KOTO! We will be back on Monday night with UFC vets Jim and Dan Miller as well as our pal Randy Costa. Oh yeah, Willy Sisca will once again guest co-host. Boom...

This week we have 2 great guests and a lot of chatter from the KOTO crew. We kick off with Bellator light heavyweight Linton "The Swarm" Vassell. a first time guest to KOTO, Linton walked the mine field of questions from the KOTO nation and was a great sport the entire time. You will love some of the questions asked and answered by the swarm as he solidified himself as one of our favourite new guests. Some of the questions sent to us that we didn't ask; "Is this Sting?" "Do you like honey in your tea?" "Do you have a sticky wicket?" ah, ya gotta love our listeners.

We then had our pal and RFA Bantamweight champ on the show Luke "Cool Hand" Sanders. Luke is fighting May 8th at the RFA vs. Legacy superfights on AXS TV. After we left Luke an 8 second voice message as he did not answer on the first (or second) attempt, Luke called in and the talk went all over the place. From his upcoming fight to terrible PPVs there was an array of topics between Luke and the KOTO crew. Check it out, enjoy the podcast version of this week's show and we will be back at it next Monday.

Luke "Cool Hand" Sanders - UFC call is coming soon!

This week we were recovering from our exploits at UFC Fight Night at the Prudential Center. Still a little out it we welcomed back to the show UFC Female Bantamweight Jessica "Evil" Eye. Jessica brought us up to speed what has been going on since she last talked to us, talked about her upcoming fight in July against Miesha Tate and even a little Bar Rescue. We love having Jessica on the show, take a listen and hit her up on social media.

The second half on the show we talked to our pal and resident superhero slayer, Manny Walo. Sir Wings and Plantains was in rare form talking about his fight with Ben Fodor, girls with chameleon eyes, stereotypes and even want on a little rant. Hopefully the next time the whole KOTO crew is together in JC Manny will join in (and bring the plantains). Also, as Sarah Brady pointed out, it was thanks to Manny that all criminals in the Seattle area are practicing double legged take downs. LOL!

Give us love on Facebook, iTunes and Stitcher... we will see you back on Monday!

The KOTO crew loves Jessica Eye!

July 25th - Chicago - War!

This week Yak celebrates his birthday by talking to our pal George "The Silencer" Sullivan. George is set to fight Tim "The Dirty Bird" Means on April 18th at the Prudential Center for UFC Fight Night. The Silencer army will be out in full force that night including Sir Chucky Cheats who convinced the wife that nothing says a romantic getaway for their 10th wedding anniversary better than Newark, NJ. The KOTO gang also look at the upcoming fights this weekend and recap UFC fight night (day?) in Fairfax, VA. Wait to you hear what chuck had to say to Al Iaquinta LOL!

Our Tribute to The Silencer

What a great show this week! Sir Kayak, Sir Chucky Cheats, Sir Teabaggins and Brady Bunch are all on the deck on the Starship KOTO. We are joined by our pal and resident Hitman from Tennessee, Teddy Holder. Teddy has the the whole KOTO family in a constant flux of fap after his KO of Thiago Silva 2 minutes of round 1 at the WSOF 19. 19 month layoff - no problem, one day notice to fight Thiago Silva - no problem, no pre-fight warm ups - no problem. Teddy stunned everyone outside the KOTO family and is now set to fight for the WSOF Light Heavyweight title (KOTO Road Trip seems in order). We are all so proud of our Hitman and can't wait for this ride to continue. Next we talk to a few of our local pals. Flyweight Evan "El Diablo" Velez joins us and catches us up on what he has been up to since we last chatted. Evan has his eyes set on the UFC and the next step is May 9th, CFFC 48 at the Borgata Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, NJ where he will take on Claudio Ledesma. Evan is focused and is surrounded by some of the best folks in the MMA business...we can't wait for El Diablo to rain fire in AC. Evan also joined us for a round table discussion wrapping up season 5 of The Walking Dead. It's time to get Evan on TWD as a zombie in a KOTO shirt... we need that to happen! The show then moves on to Muay Thai Sith Lord Primo Bellarosa. A long time pal of the KOTO crew we talk about his beloved Westchester Fight Club, his career, the transparent white color of his pal Mike Stewart's skin and even the size of his dog's balls. Primo is by far one of the nicest people we have met covering MMA and it is a treat to have him back on. All of us want to catch up with him at an event soon and tip a few back. If you are in the tri-state area, stop by Westchester Fight Club and let him show you the ways of the force. Chuck wraps the show up with a few conversations he had across the country this week after adding a lot of miles to the KOTO private jet. Yes we kid...but we care. We truly do.

This week Chuck, Yak and JAC were at the KOTO helm. The 3 amigos talked about the past week's UFC fight card in Brazil and how it should be the end of the road for KOS, Dober was robbed so bad we think he may have even lost an organ down there and Maia is Portuguese for wrestle F#ck. Midway through the show we call Invicta fighter Amanda "The Ladykiller" Bell. Those listening live lit us up saying how cool she was and we wholeheartedly agree. Riding a 3-fight win streak, Amanda heads into KC on April 24th looking to make it 4 in a row. A great guest and new KOTO fave, we can't wait to root her on in a few weeks!

The boys wrap up discussing the upcoming Bellator and WSOF cards this weekend. Our pal Teddy Holder is stepping back into the cage! Finally a WSOF we are all anticipating.

 

Amanda "The LadyKiller" Bell

Thank you for all that tuned in...we set a new record for live listeners and 1st time listeners again!! You are all amazing and we love all of our KOTO Family. Next Monday at 9pm est we will have our pal and rising Flyweight star Evan Velez on to do a round table discussion on this year's season of the Walking Dead AND we will have on Muay Thai Jedi Knight - Primo Bellarosa.

This week we had on TUF 7 Alum and now Heavyweight, Jeremy May. Jeremy discussed his time on the show, how life changes when you become a dad and everything in between. We thought he was a great guy and can't wait to root him on as he strives to be best in class of the heavyweight division. Jeremy's journey continues in Pensacola, Florida on March 28th when he takes on Lorenzo Hood at Island Fights 33.

Also this week we we welcome back JAC and Sarah, celebrate St. Patty's Day and Chuck and Yak recap their trip to UFC 185 in Dallas.

March 28 - Jeremy May looks to keep his win streak going!
