Ok, we talked about Fight Quest 10, we talked about Ringside - Triple Threat on January 30th, as well as Ringside's recent signing of Guillaume de Lorenzi. However, we think that the majority of the downloads will be due to the interviews we had this week with Pat Cooligan )approx 17 minute mark) and Nabil Khatib ((approx 33 minute mark). Pat Cooligan wanted to go on the record with his thoughts on what transpired both in the match between his fighter (Mark Holst) and Nabil Khatib. We got in contact with Nabil Khatib to have him weigh in on the fight as well, and to answer the questions that even I had about the fight and what happened post fight as well. Nabil didn't back down from one question, and let us know what his next steps were with the Quebec MMA commission. He also responded surprisingly 9in my opinion) to a challenge from Pat Cooligan's camp.

Next step for the Franchise will be to get the commissioner of the RACJ (Quebec's MMA committee) and have them weigh in on the results.
