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 third guest this week for FIST-ta-CUFF Radio on BJPenn.com is a bad man, don’t believe me watch his last fight for RFA! Chidi Njokuani is back on the show and ready to talk his upcoming fight for RFA 8. Chidi is riding a 4 fight win streak coming into this fight, with 3 of those wins coming by stoppage. Chidi is set to take on Jeremy Kimball in the Co-Main Event. We will discuss the match-up with Chidi, the decision to not rush a move to the big show, his amazing stand up skills, how comfortable he is when the fight hits the ground, and so much more. If I can tell you two things that go with the Njokuani name it’s brutal stand up and even better interviews. Follow Chidi on twitter @iBang_214

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

Our last guest on BJPenn.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF Radio is not the type of man you don’t want to make mad, cause you won’t like him when he becomes the HULK! Mike Easton is set to take on Brad Pickett at UFC on FUEL TV 9, in Stockholm, Sweden on April 06. We will talk with Mike about his recent time in San Diego, CA training for his upcoming fight at Alliance MMA. Mike is looking to get back on a win streak after his first loss in 9 fights. Mike is one of the guys inside the bantamweight class that you have to keep an eye on, from his footwork and head movement, to his slick skills when the fight hits the mat. We will talk to Mike about getting the call to face Brad Pickett in what should be a fight for the fans that should be nothing short of fireworks. We will get Mike’s thoughts on the 135 lb. weight class, Testosterone replacement therapy, and of course what 2013 will hold for the Hulk! Follow Mike on twitter @mikeeastonmma

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. Follow Ricardo on twitter @LiborioATT

Nick is no longer the new guy at the gym, but another member of the team and of course we will talk to him about how his gym life has changed since the move. Nick is an exciting prospect to keep an eye on and something tells me that the man known as Nicky P will be looking to make a statement March 7th, in CA. Follow Nick on twitter @NickPiedmontMMA
