Classic fight commentary for patrons!
First of all, let me extend my sincere thanks to everyone who has already pledged to support the show. Both Pat and I truly appreciate it. This show is a pleasure to produce, in no small part thanks to you, our wonderful listeners. Being compensated for our time (and reimbursed for the costs of producing the show) is just icing on the cake.
Now, to business. We're interested in producing commentary tracks for classic events, whether Pride FC, UFC, or whatever sounds interesting. If you tuned in for our Heavy Hands Livecast a few months ago, these would be very much like that, a few hours of commentary meant to be listened to alongside the main card of a classic fight event--though of course you'd be welcome to listen whether or not you have access to the fight footage. Think of it as supplementary fight commentary, complete with live, detailed analysis, and fight-related banter between bouts.
We're interested in offering these a la cart for a small price (probably in the $3 to $5 range), but unlimited access to all of the commentaries will be offered as a reward for pledges. Our thought was to offer access to every classic commentary for a pledge of $20 or $25 a month, though we might also consider offering access to a select number for a smaller pledge--say, four commentaries of your choice for $15 a month.
Please let us know what events you're interested in seeing us cover, and we'll make sure to pay special attention to suggestions from folks who have already pledged to support the show. Keep in mind that we'll probably be covering big-time classic events already, so if you have any underappreciated classics in mind, don't hesitate to shout 'em out.
Thanks again for your support and patronage. We'll keep coming up with ideas to reward our patrons, and we're always open to suggestions from you.

I finally gave in and got the change out of my couch for the best MMA podcast ever. My question for the speed bag is why are elbows not used more often as a a deterrent for takedown attempts and why are they not used from the bottom more like Bisbing did in the GSP fight? He probably would have won the fight if the instant the bell rang for round one he let George take him down and just elbowed him straight to the plastic surgeon's office. Those were brutal. Seems like with the distance that is closed so quickly on a takedown attempt the short windup of an elbow strike would work perfectly. Any strategic disadvantages to this approach?
I would like for you all to do a commentary on GSP vs Hendricks.
