Podcast: Lavar Johnson, Joe Warren, Shayna Baszler

TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to the Sherdog Radio Network Monday for another edition of “Beatdown.” Joining them were fighters Lavar Johnson, Joe Warren, and “TUF 18” cast member Shayna Baszler.

Johnson makes his Bellator debut this Friday night in Visalia, Calif. The UFC vet talks about his release from the UFC, his suspension from not disclosing the use of testosterone replacement therapy, and his goals going forward in mixed martial arts.

Warren was back in action last Friday night in Bellator after being deemed “medically unfit” earlier this month. Warren talks about the process of getting approved to fight and what went through his mind when some suggested that his career might be over. “The Baddest Man on the Planet” also talks about punching his ticket to the bantamweight finale with his first submission victory.

Baszler was back on “Beatdown” to talk about the latest episode of Fox Sports 1’s “The Ultimate Fighter.” The Team Rousey fighter talks about her team getting in the win column for the first time as Jessica Rakoczy defeated Roxanne Modafferi by second round TKO. Baszler talks about seeing her teammate wins and her friend lose. Shayna also defends her coach to those who thinks the Olympian falls under the category of bully.
