Matt Frevola Interview (2:34)

Joining Gumby at the top of the show is the “Steamrolla” who pops in to discuss his bout this weekend with Ottman Aziatar. He talks about the style clash apparent in the fight as well as how he fits into the division. Plus, he talks about his time outside of the cage and his recent layoff, which included a foot injury. With a two-fight winning streak under his belt, Frevola can’t wait to get back in there and continue his journey to the top 15 and beyond.

She talks about being close to a title shot and how close she might still be. “The Venezuelan Vixen” also discussed her upcoming bout with Sara McMann this weekend and gave her thoughts about the Olympic silver medalist’s skills on the ground. Pena is excited to right the ship after a tough loss to former UFC champion Germaine de Randamie last time out, and she thinks this is the right match-up to do just that.
