We kick off the second hour of BJPenn.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF Radio with a guest that’s last name almost packs as much punch as she does in the cage. Amanda “Powerhouse” Lucas is on the show and ready to talk MMA, Robot Combat League, and so much more. Amanda has been around the bright lights and cameras since a young girl and why would anything change now that she is a woman. Amanda is riding a 5 fight win streak after losing her pro debut and I’m sure she will tell us she doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. We will talk with Amanda about what got her into MMA, how her dad felt, and of course her time on the show Robot Combat League. I hope you guys are ready for the Powerhouse cause this is going to be a great segment on FIST-ta-CUFF Radio. Follow Amanda on Twitter @amandalucasmma

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

Our last guest is a heavyweight who has a wrestling pedigree that is better then half the people in the sport. I’m talking about Ryan Martinez, and Ryan is set to take on Travis Wiuff at Bellator 93. Ryan has been on the show before, where we spoke about his past and his wrestling credentials. Tonight we will talk to Ryan about his wrestling pedigree for those of you who missed our first interview with Ryan, his upcoming fight with Travis, and of course his future with Bellator and the current Bellator Heavyweight Division. Ryan is one of those fighters you not only need to get to know, but one you don’t want to miss when he fights cause he leaves it all in the cage. Follow Ryan on twitter @970King

Our first guest this week is a Phenom. Sergio Pettis is stopping back in the shop and the last time we talked to him he was stepping into the cage with Jimmy Jones for RFA. Sergio was set to step back in the cage for RFA but injury has forced his fight to be taken off the card. The good news is the phenom is still stepping in the cage and now he’s doing it for North American Fighting Championship in Milwaukee, WI. We will talk to Sergio about the switch in cards, getting a chance to fight in front of the hometown crowd, and of course having his opponents change in such a short time. Sergio is always a great guest and we have plenty to talk about but before he joins the show get over to twitter and follow the Phenom @SergioPettis

Sunday March 10, we kick BJPenn.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF Radio off at 7:30 PM PST with the head instructor and co-founder of American Top Team. Ricardo was named the 13th most powerful player in MMA in the Fight! Power rankings which means this is a perfect guest to talk to about the current state of MMA. We will talk to Ricardo about the history of ATT, his time learning martial arts from a young age (He got his start in combat sports at 4 years old), and the program he has at ATT to teach judo to visually impaired students. Ricardo’s story of getting into BJJ, to his leaving the famed Gracie academy, creating Brazilian Top Team, and ending up in the states to start ATT is worthy of a movie and we will be talking all of it. I couldn’t think of a better way to start out the show then to have a man who has won Gold at the first ever “Mundials,” or World Jiu-Jitsu Championship & Gold in the International Masters Mundials.
