Leading things off is UFC middleweight Tim Kennedy. The former Army Special Forces Soldier won his UFC debut against Roger Gracie at UFC 162 back in July. He will face Rafael Natal in the main event of UFC: Fight for the Troops 3 on November 6 at Fort Campbell in Fort Campbell, KY.

MMA legend Pat Miletich will join us next and talk about his very busy schedule. Miletich currently works for AXS TV and calls fights for MFC, LFC, XFC, CFA and RFA to name a few. The first ever UFC welterweight champion will receive a lifetime achievement award on October 25 at RFA 10.

Michael McBride will be the fourth of our RFA “Prospects of the Week,” he will face Emmanuel Sanchez at RFA 10 on October 25. McBride is 4-0 as a professional with all four wins by submission. Each of those submission victories has come by some form of a choke.

He has also trained with other Gracies as well including Helio, Carlson, Rolls and Rickson. He is currently married to the sister of UFC welterweight Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
