  • Josh Nason’s Punch-Out episode 9: ‘Filthy’ Tom Lawlor on his new UFC contract, Nashville, Roddy Piper, Ronda Rousey, more

    This is not Josh Nason. Josh does have a desk though.

    Even though Jon Stewart has left The Daily Show and the U.S. Republican candidates are very Trumpy, Wrestling Observer writer and editor Josh Nason is here to cheer you up with the ninth episode of Josh Nason’s Punch-Out.

    This week, UFC light heavyweight Tom Lawlor joins Josh in a special crossover event. On the menu of topics for their hour-long conversation:

    – Josh takes his lashing for picking against Tom at UFC Fox Chicago

    – Tom talks about picking fighters that are coming off long layoffs

    – Tom describes his ‘business-like’ approach to his Chicago return and his attitude on the win after the fact 

    – Tom spills the beans on his new UFC contract and why Bellator really wasn’t an option

    – Whether there’s anything more to be said about Ronda Rousey after the last week

    – His thoughts on the passing of Roddy Piper

    – Seeing Khabib Nurmagomedov at IHOP the day after the Diaz brothers brawl at WSOF and what happened

    – A look at the main event of UFC Nashville between Glover Teixeira and Ovince St. Preux

    – And more!

    Show Notes:

    – UFC Fight Pass indeed launched in January 2014, so Tom’s fight vs. Michael Kuiper was on Facebook.

    – Here’s the RSS feed for the show.
