Gamebred FC + Alex “Spartan” Nicholson = A Match Made in Heaven

August 21, 2021 by Christopher James

Sometimes life just really works things out in such a way that you almost feel as if it were scripted that way. When it occurs in the world of combat sports, I find it to be exciting beyond belief. Alex Nicholson was born to fight. Let me rephrase that, Alex Nicholson was bred to fight. His father Mark Nicholson made sure of that! A fighter in his own right from a different era, and he is one of the toughest, no-nonsense men I have ever come across since I have been involved in the combat … [Read More...] about Gamebred FC + Alex “Spartan” Nicholson = A Match Made in Heaven

Cage Side with Christopher James EXCLUSIVE: BKFC Star Francesco Ricchi ” I Went To The ER, Passed Out, Woke Up and It Was December”

December 18, 2020 by Christopher James

Francesco Ricchi fought Noah Cutter on Friday, November 13th at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship #BKFC14. It was one helluva fight as Cutter controlled it early and nearly finished Ricchi. However, Ricchi showed his true warrior spirit and mounted what many people thought was the comeback win of the year when he finished Cutter in the 3rd round via TKO. What we didn't know was that Ricchi had sustained what we would later find out was a life-threatening injury after sustaining an injury to his larynx after an errant pair of punches caught him in the throat. Ricchi ended up hospitalized, and in a medically induced coma from the injury. He had blood in his lungs, and luckily the good folks at Broward General Hospital were on point and able to act swiftly to save this man's life so he could share his story with all of us. Ricchi took home the win but nearly suffered the biggest loss in doing so.   I had Ricchi on The Cage Side with Christopher James Show on Thursday, … [Read More...] about Cage Side with Christopher James EXCLUSIVE: BKFC Star Francesco Ricchi ” I Went To The ER, Passed Out, Woke Up and It Was December”

Cage Side with Christopher James Chats with TITAN FC C.O.O. Lex McMahon

April 15, 2020 by Christopher James

Tuesday night TITAN Fighting Championship C.O.O Mr. Lex McMahon took some time away from a movie night with his family to jump on the show. We discussed TITAN's next event slated for May 29th, sports being deemed as "essential businesses" in Florida. The WWE and their Performance Center in Orlando as a possible destination on May 9th for the UFC after the cancellation of UFC 249 and the possible real reason it was canceled, which seemingly had more to do with politics and not so much to do with MMA or public safety as the State of California's Democratic leadership wants us to believe. So much fun, including Lex singing on the show, which has become a time-honored tradition, and a favorite segment of mine, and the fans of the show. Sit back relax, and pay attention to McMahon during this interview, he shares some wisdom and knowledge that we can all use in our lives. Click the link and enjoy the show, and subscribe to my Youtube channel while you're at … [Read More...] about Cage Side with Christopher James Chats with TITAN FC C.O.O. Lex McMahon

Cage Side with Christopher James Revisits Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 5 with Jason Knight and Artem Lobov

April 12, 2020 by Christopher James

Last week we celebrated the greatest fight to date at David Feldman's Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Artem Lobov vs. Jason Knight which took place at BKFC 5 in April of 2019 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Knight and Lobov put on an amazing fight that night, and just like Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin's fight at the conclusion of season 1 of the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter helped the UFC catch fire, Knight vs. Lobov did the exact same thing for BKFC! What better way to reminisce about that incredible battle than by talking with the two men who actually created that moment. Here is my conversation with Knight and Lobov. We covered their bout, a possible trilogy and if they would ever face one another in an MMA contest since both are UFC veterans as well as Bare Knuckle fighters. We even discussed a bare-knucle MMA fight! David Feldman let's make that happen!

Cage Side Chats with UFC Featherweight Aalon Cruz and Special Guest UFC Welterweight Niko Price

April 12, 2020 by Christopher James

Last week I had the chance to talk with UFC Featherweight from right here in Tampa, Florida, Aalon Cruz. This hard-working young man, who maintains his regular job at local grocery chain Publix, tells about life as a fighter that can't fight due to the Coronavirus pandemic. During the interview, we were chatting about another Florida based UFC fighter Niko Price. Price suddenly joined us on the comment thread, and I brought him on as a surprise guest since he and Cruz are friends and periodically train together. This episode was fun and with the addition of the always up for a good time Price, became a great show. We even discussed who had the best man-bun!
