You want mean, well we have the Queen of Mean! Miriam Nakamoto is our second guest and we have tons to talk about. If you didn’t know she got her start in Combat sports with a pair of Billy Blank and Kathy Smith tapes. You read that right, it wasn’t a typo. Miriam told her parents that she wanted into combat sports and that’s what they got her. Miriam has had to forge her own path in the sport and this was just the start. Miriam is a 7 time Muay Thai Champ and left the sport with a perfect record. We will talk to her about winning the Muay Thai-themed Fight Girls competition, making the switch to MMA, being called the best striker in Women’s combat sports, her early years, being signed to Invicta and fighting for the best women’s MMA Promotion in the world, and so much more. Miriam has an amazing story and is one woman you don’t want to take your eye off as she makes her climb to the top of MMA just like she did Muay Thai. Follow Miriam on Twitter @MiriamNakamoto

We will discuss with Chris the decision to try out for the Ultimate Fighter, the process of not only tryouts, but getting things ready to leave California for Las Vegas to fight to get into the house. We will talk with Chris about his amazing journey to get to this point from battling cancer, to being one of the top prospects not signed to the UFC.
