Podcast: Baszler, Kaufman, Mitchell, Gonzalez

TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to the Sherdog Radio Network on Wednesday for another edition of “Beatdown.” Joining them on this edition of the program were UFC women’s bantamweight fighters Shayna Baszler, Sarah Kaufman, former UFC fighter David Mitchell and Fernando Gonzalez.

Women’s mixed martial arts has been a focal point for the Ultimate Fighting Championship for the last year. Two longtime veterans, Baszler and Kaufman, joined the program Wednesday to talk about the long road to the Octagon, where they feel women’s MMA would be without champion Ronda Rousey, and what they expect from one another in their April rematch.

Mitchell all but struck out of the UFC going 1-4 on MMA’s biggest stage. He has since changed training camps and looks to rebound this Saturday night against Gonzalez at West Coast Fighting Championships 8. Both Mitchell and Gonzalez join “Beatdown” at the exact same time. The two welterweights discuss their fight, how the believe it will go down, and if this is a fight that will usher Mitchell back in to the UFC conversation or launch a relatively unknown Gonzalez in to the radar of MMA prospects.

De Santis and Sherwood have been away from the SRN for a week. They get caught up with MMA current events, chat about the upcoming UFC card which pits Lyoto Machida against Gegard Mousasi, and recount some shenanigans from the road.
