Rewind: Sunday Sitdown with Jennifer Wenk
The Sherdog Radio Network "Rewind" makes its long-awaited return with a special "Sitdown" interview with a mover and shaker who has a unique perspective on the UFC's growth in the decade since the first "Ultimate Fighter" finale.
Jen Wenk was the UFC's public relations czar during periods of explosive growth for the company, from 2005 to 2011. She goes in-depth with host Jack Encarnacao on the range of influencing factors and figures - many of them under appreciated - that put the organization in a position to win a Fox contract and widespread acceptance as a sport.
Wenk dishes on how the UFC was able to get media pickup despite the sour taste in the public's mouth about cagefighting, how the 2007 Sports Illustrated cover came together, and PR growing pains and gains with the bombastic Dana White at the helm.
Catch the latest Sitdown, and gain a whole new perspective on the change set in motion the night Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar slugged it out in Las Vegas 10 years ago.
