The World Series of Fighting held their second show Saturday, March 23rd, at the Revel Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. On the card was a wealth of talent from several divisions. In a main card fight, former WSOF welterweight Josh Burkman fought Aaron Simpson in a fight with title implications. Burkman made sure to make this one a one-sided affair and put Simpson away early in the fight with a brutal first round knockout that made the Revel Hotel Ovation Hall share a collective gasp.

Our first guest this week is a man who has frequented the show during this season of the Ultimate Fighter. Clint Hester was the first pick of the season and a member of Team Jones. We have been without Clint for a few weeks which only means that we have tons to talk about. We will talk with Clint about his fight during round one, the wild card pick by Team Jones, and of course his thoughts on the rest of the season. This last week was a wild one for Clint and the rest of the team as we saw the wildcard fight go down, with a result that I don’t think we have ever seen in TUF history. Get ready for Clint to get you caught up on the last few weeks of The Ultimate Fighter and make sure to follow him on Twitter @ClintHester
