On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with our
correspondent Bob Carson. Bob is also the host of the Carson's Corner
podcast (http://carsonscorner.podomatic.com).

In a lengthy discussion, we focus on the cancellation of the August 1
Affliction mixed martial arts pay-per-view, the subsequent collapse of
the Affliction mixed martial arts promotion, the renewal of an
Affliction Clothing-UFC deal, and the implications of these
developments. As usual, we stand up for the rights of the fighters,
and take a highly critical view of the machinations of these
promotions and the direction they have taken mixed martial arts in
America.

No Holds Barred: Eddie Alvarez, Bellator Lightweight Champion

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with one
of the most exciting and versatile fighters in mixed martial arts, and
the new Bellator Fighting Championships lightweight champion, Eddie
Alvarez (http://www.alvarezfight.com/).

We had a chance Wednesday afternoon to conduct a lengthy telephone
interview with Eddie Alvarez about his life, his career, and his
family. We discussed the importance of his family to him, how and why
he got involved with mixed martial arts, and how his upbringing in
Philadelphia has affected his fighting career. We discussed his
victory in the eight-man tournament to capture the Bellator Fighting
Championships lightweight title, winning all his fights with
submissions, over Toby Imada, Eric Reynolds, and Greg Loughran. We
analyzed his style, which effectively combines boxing, wrestling, jiu-
jitsu, and muay Thai. We discussed his fights last year in the Dream
organization in Japan against Joachim Hansen, Tatsuya Kawajiri, and
Shinya Aoki. And we talked about his plans to fight in the future for
the Bellator Fighting Championships after taking a very well-deserved
rest.
