I absolutely love when this guy is on the program. He really gives a no-nonsense approach to the breakdowns. You can tell this is a guy who not only loves the sport, he studies the sport. When Carwin had Lesnar on the ropes, I thought of the things Joey had said a few days before... about Carwin being the poor man's Lesnar... I think this was perhaps the only time, I've heard a Joey O. assessment that wasn't pretty damn close to spot on... that said, Lesnar came back to win the fight. So go figure.
Can't wait to hear what he has to say about the Nelson/JDS fight. GG loves the hell out of JDS... interestingly, Joey presents a good case for why he doesn't or hasn't bought into the hype.
And Damn, how great was last Friday, too... having him and Laimon break things down together... could not pull myself from the headphones once they got going.

BRILLIANT.
very glad to hear it, 'bout 117, sounds like he'll be on a little more often, and that is for sure double plus good.
I've heard him on other radio shows. but it's clear just from the way he says "hey george, how ya doing goze" etc that he
genuinely
likes you guys. which probably is part of the reason why he is so damn good on yours.
man I remember every time i hears him on junkie radio. it blew my mind, the stuff that man can talk about, the angles he thinks about. when he talked about hungry fighters, what makes them truly hungry, cubans out of cuba etc....amazing.

Good! I get a sense that Jake Rosholt likes talking about fights most fighter don't for what every reason. Odessa is the shitno BS with them straight to the to point. he backs up is beakdowns with facts and gives the Odd's

perfect, I'm gladd he's got one. Gonna go follow him now. Thanks again Ph1sh
I find Joey very informative but, thought he rambled on a bit and swayed away from the topic of breaking down the UFC 117 card on Friday's show. I wouldv'e liked a bit more breakdown on the prelims (only for some more info on the fighters I'm not to familiar with for JFC 52). But I put that down to him having to break down so many fights, & retain so much information, that I can understand it would be hard to summerise a fight over acouple of minutes.
love you guys for having JO on.
not caught up to the latest shows, but will listen to fridays before watching UFC117 today.
tor from norway, as i once called myself in a junkie hotline drunkcall a while ago
At this point if you still think JDS is hype, you are not paying attention. The guy has a pretty good streak of wins, in my opinion he has the best wins at HW.
Carwins win over GG got him a title shot but Brock got ill. Is Carwin hype too?
JDS is the real deal folks.
Joey O loves him some wrestlers. Prob cause they have more ways to win. He made the call for 117 Fitch and Hughes were his suggestions and both where on the $
yup i agree, i find it really interesting listening to the ufc117 breakdown (from friday) after fightnight, really impressed with JO. so funny listening to him getting alot of the action spot on as it happened.
