Power MMA Show co-host Ryan “Darth” Bader will give new meaning to the word ‘exclusive’ when he joins Aaron Simpson and Jim Grieshaber live on the air Saturday January 26 from Chicago, just hours before his fight against Russian Vladimir Matyushenko on the UFC on Fox 6 card.

The former two-time ASU All-American wrestler and Ultimate Fighter: Season 8 winner will tell us about fight week in Chicago, how he feels heading into this matchup and what he has to do to get the win, and you can only get it here on Arizona Sports 620 and ArizonaSports.com. Keep checking back for our chat with Team Power’s top 10 Light Heavyweight here on the Power MMA Show page.

Also on this week’s show, Power MMA’s CB Dollaway talks about his big win over Daniel Sarafian in Brazil last Saturday, how it felt to have everyone in the arena screaming against him and his resurgent career. Plus, the Maximum Fighting Championship’s Anthony Birchak of Tucson tells us all about his new deal and first fight in the MFC coming up in May.

We’ll also talk about King Mo, Ben Askren and Bellator on Spike, plus this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter Jones vs. Sonnen, with Arizona’s own Kelvin Gastellum earning his way into the house with a win.
