Battlegrounds MMA will be putting on an eight man one-night tournament on June 27th at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma featuring Dennis Hallman, Cody Mackenzie and Chris Honeycutt, among others. The man behind the action, Kenny Monday, joined the show to break down the upcoming historic event and discuss working with the Oklahoma commission to get the welterweight tournament approved, discuss the participants and what the event could mean for MMA going forward. The two-time Olympic medalist also talked about wrestling in today's MMA.
