Billy Mira
MMA Fight Corner is the brainchild of Billy Mira, one of the most successful independent radio personalities in the industry.
Billy got his start appearing on local college and AM and FM radio stations throughout New York and was ultimately discovered by, Howard Stern, and became a frequent guest of the Howard Stern Show. Billy’s recurring role on The Howard Stern Show demonstrated his acclaimed comedic and musical performances. Billy is the only comedian to ever sit in Howard’s chair for the entire length of the show.
Eventually, Billy had guest appearances on nationally syndicated radio shows like The Jim Breuer Show, The Kidd Chris Show, The Scott Ferrall Show, The Bubba The Love Sponge Show, and dozens of others. Most recently, Billy was asked to join forces with The Fight Club, the only MMA focused show on Sirius XM Radio. It was on this show that Billy honed his skills, broadcasting MMA coverage in his own unique style.
Billy recognized the limitations inherent with a Sirius XM owned program, and began to explore the tremendous opportunities for live radio in the future of MMA coverage. As such, the concept of MMA Fight Corner was born. Billy quickly recruited co-hosts Phil Devine and Joey Varner. Billy, Phil, and Joey have developed MMA Fight Corner into one of the most sourced MMA talk shows in existence.
