    • EliteXC - The Run - Jared Shaw

      Send us a text

      Ep 310 EliteXC The Run - Jared Shaw

      Following the huge buzz from Part 1
      (#308: "The Rise of EliteXC"), Jared returns for an unfiltered deep dive into the promotion's explosive two-year run that seriously challenged the UFC.
      Hear the insider stories: nearly signing Brock Lesnar post-K-1, flying Kimbo Slice to LA with a briefcase of cash to lock in MMA's first viral superstar (his
      43-second KO of Tank Abbott drew massive Showtime ratings), Gina Carano's breakthrough win over Tonya Evinger at Uprising in Hawaii (despite her tough weight cut), and the bold events that pushed women's MMA forward while building legitimacy with fighters like Robbie Lawler and Nick Diaz.
      Shaw opens up on the highs (CBS primetime deals bringing MMA to millions), the internal chaos, financial struggles, and the dramatic 2008 collapse after the Heat event
      controversy. Plus, personal reflections like his life-changing open-heart surgery at 19.
      This is authentic MMA history straight from the VP who lived it-raw, revealing, and essential for any fight fan.

      Ep 309 Ed Herman BEFORE the UFC

      Dive deep into the raw origins of UFC veteran Ed "Short Fuse" Herman - The Ultimate Fighter Season 3 runner-up, a middleweight powerhouse with 26 official UFC bouts (plus his TUF Octagon appearances), 13 wins inside the promotion, and an impressive eight post-fight bonuses, including Knockout of the Night, Submission of the Night, Fight of the Night, and Performance of the Night honors. As the UFC's longest consecutively tenured athlete, his journey is legendary.
      From his gritty Pacific Northwest roots, wrestling under the influence of Dan Gable's legacy, to grinding at Team Quest alongside legends like Randy Couture, Matt Lindland, and Chael Sonnen, Ed shares untold stories of his pre-UFC wars against future stars like Glover Teixeira and Nick Thompson.
      Now retired after a storied career spanning 2003-2023, he's giving back as owner of Short Fuse Martial Arts in Vancouver, WA, and coach at American Top Team Portland, mentoring the next generation.
