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
