MMAPredictions Radio: Mike Whitehead on Babalu, IFL, and More
This time on MMAPredictions Radio you will hear from Mike Whitehead, who is currently on an eleven-fight winning streak in mixed martial arts fights. Whitehead was unbeaten in the International Fight League and was expected to take on Vladimir Matyushenko late last year in the IFL Grand Prix light heavyweight contest but was not included in the organization’s plans.
Our interviewer Toby Glenn discusses Whitehead’s upcoming muay-thai debut on March 22 in Las Vegas as part of the XFA. Also on the schedule for Whitehead is a fight with Renato “Babalu” Sobral on May 2nd, which is also discussed. Here’s a snippet of the conversation where Mike Whitehead discusses the souring of the relationship with the IFL.
Since I’ve started MMA there’s always been something that’s set me back. I don’t know why it would change now that I’d start to get breaks. Everything I am going to get in this sport seems like it will come from good old hard work, and I don’t mind that at all.
