Call on the Honor Guard, the original, honorary general is on tap this week, Eric Shelton joins Caged Aggression MMA Announcer Jason Vargas on the Tiki Tees Screen Printing & Design telephone all the way from Coconut Creek, FL to catch us up on his life and career since the last time he was on. Before he mentions his plans for his upcoming title fight versus Nate Williams at Caged at Caged Aggression XXVII: Return of the Champions, Eric talks about his strong faith and how the combination of it and the support of his family have strengthened him over time. Plus his second family, the family of killers at American Top Team and how they’ve helped him stoke the competitive fire and killer instinct. Oh, and before alllll of that, we hear from the Whiteout Warrior of the Month Jordin Hinman, brought to us by Whiteout Promotions. And, if that weren't enough, Andy Hayes had an all-new installment of Insight the Fights discussing the matchup of Shawn West and Luis Saldana. Is that enough?!? I think that's enough!
