I realized that as I finish all my podcasts up for the week around 2:30 PM on Friday, I switch to music. I've also noticed that the particular playlist I've been listening to gets me all manic and ramped up for the weekend. I'd like to share it with you:
Now that season 11 of "The Ultimate Fighter" has begun filming, head coach Tito Ortiz confirmed the assistant coaching staff he has invited to help train his team. Ortiz selected Rob McCullough, Saul Soliz, and Cleber Luciano as his three main assistant coaches.

Chicago-based Bellator Fighting Championships recently announced the signing of lightweight competitor Ferrid "The Hurricane" Kheder, an Olympic-level judoka who began competing in MMA in 2006. Boasting an impressive 16-5 record, with all losses coming by way of decision, this French-born fighter is looking to make a splash in the 155 pound tournament set to being April 8. MMA Spot's Joe Gullo recently sat down with Kheder to talk about his judo background, his transition to MMA and his thoughts on his new promotion.
