NO HOLDS BARRED: Eddie Goldman Speaks With With Jeremy Lappen, CEO of the World Fighting Alliance (WFA)

There is a new episode on my NO HOLDS BARRED podcast:

nhbnews.podOmatic.com

On this week's edition of NO HOLDS BARRED, host Eddie Goldman speaks with Jeremy Lappen, CEO of the World Fighting Alliance (WFA) (http://www.wfa.tv/). They are running a major mixed martial arts card Sat., July 22, at the Forum in Los Angeles and on pay-per-view, headlined by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson fighting Matt Lindland.

Included in this discussion are Jeremy Lappen commenting on the fight card for this event, the WFA's business and media plans to become a major mixed martial arts promotion, and his attitude to other mixed martial arts organizations.

Eddie also offers his usual NO HOLDS BARRED commentary on the latest move by the UFC to work with Pride in the wake of that group getting kicked off Fuji TV, a major broadcast network in Japan, following allegations in the Japanese media that Pride is actually owned and run by the yakuza, Japanese organized crime (charges which Pride, of course, denies).

Also make sure to check out my weekly boxing show, SecondsOut Radio. This week we discuss Cory Spinks's upset victory over Roman Karmazin and the importance of boxers using the social networking site MySpace.com to help win new and younger fans. We also interviewed Jack Mosley, father and trainer of Shane Mosley, and Danny Smith, trainer of Fernando Vargas, about the Mosley-Vargas rematch coming up this Saturday, July 15. SecondsOut Radio is also free to hear, but you must register to gain access to it, at www.secondsout.com/radio.

Eddie is a great guy, went out of his way to write a great story on Tyler Graebner when we were going through all of the stuff with him. I listen to his podcasts on a frequent basis and they are well worth a listen.
