BJPenn.Com Radio Tonight At 7 P.M. With Mansher Khera, Jonathan Satava, Cody Garbrandt, & Ken Shamrock
The first 30 minutes of the show is dedicated to Submission Series 902, going down January 23 in Glassgow Square. The event is submission only, no points for 15 minutes. This is the first event of it’s kind to take place on Canadian soil and we have two of the competitors.
Mansher Khera is a purple belt under Marcelo Garcia at Marcelo’s main academy in New York City and basically started his training directly under Garcia and became one of the main competitors of the academy. In 2013, Khera has had a breakout run, qualifying for the Abu Dhabi World Pro at the Montreal Trials and winning both the Spring and Summer New York Open in the lightweight category. However, his best showing came at this past World Championship, where he took silver after seven hard fights against former Worlds medalists and World champions. Although he fell just short of obtaining his first World title, the 21-year-old has shown a lot of promise and continues to improve with each tournament. We will talk his upcoming match, being a part of an event like this, and much more.
Our next guest is the main event Jonathan Satava. Jonathan just recently received his Black belt and we will of course talk to him about the whole experience. Receiving such an accomplishment before this event, has got to make it that much sweeter. We will also talk with Jonathan about growing up in Long Island, and really falling in love with the sport in College and how Marcelo Garcia influenced him to get to this point, (he still has pictures hanging up at his parents house.) We will also talk to him about some of his biggest accomoplishments, traveling to Abu Dhabi, and of course his future goals.
Our next guest made his UFC debut at UFC 182 and added yet another TKO to his professional record. Cody “No Love” Garbrandt is on the show and do we have plenty to talk about. We will talk Cody’s amazing UFC debut where he put away Marcus Brimage in the third round, we will also talk his early days of boxing, as well as his time wrestling and taking 1st and 2nd in his freshman and sophmore years. We will also talk with Cody about his nickname, training with Team Alpha Male, leaving his home to chase his dream, and of course all of his ink. Cody is big about his home town and we will talk with him about home as well. Get ready to catch up with one of the baddest men to enter the UFC this year and one you will want to keep an eye on.

The last hour of the show we have on “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” Ken Shamrock. Ken is back in the headlines and this time, he’s stepping into the Bare Knuckle Boxing world to take on legendary tough guy James Quinn. The bout is scheduled to happen April 2015 in the United Kingdom (details to be announced). We will talk with Ken about how this match up came to be and why he is not fighting Decca Heggie, Just know Ken doesn’t duck fights, but if the money doesn’t make sense it doesn’t make sense… I’ll let Ken explain that side of things. We will also talk with Ken about why he decided to be a part of BKB event, how this takes him back to his orginal UFC days, and fighting in a hexagon boxing ring. Ken has had an amazing career in the sport and we will leave the rest of the time to talk with Ken about his days inside of the world of Pro Wrestling, inside the early days of the UFC, his huge fights, and just a career that most men could only dream to have. Don’t miss out on this interview as we will also talk to Ken about his Ministry and his new product Shamrock Slam. Follow Ken on Twitter @ShamrockKen
