If you've had a chance to listen to our new 411 Ground and Pound Radio Show I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for giving it a chance. I'm well aware that there's only a billion+ amateur voices on the internet that you could have been paying attention to but you actively chose to spend some of your time listening to Kuch, Samer and I give our opinions on MMA. For that I am grateful and appreciative (even if you thought we stunk). My hope is that some of you brave souls will rouse yourselves out of bed early on Sunday mornings and listen to the show when it's live. Personally, I think the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning, especially if it's after a Saturday night fight, is to pour yourself a hot cup of your favorite coffee, (I would recommend a Keurig coffee maker if you are in the market for one) cut yourself a fresh bagel – maybe put some shmear on it or lox or for my fellow Jews, some nice whitefish, and sit back in your favorite chair while listening to the 411 Ground and Pound Radio Show.

Furthermore, I'm hoping you'll take the time to call in with your thoughts, opinions and criticisms. I know some radio talk show hosts can be obnoxious and cut people off without letting them have their say but if being a therapist for over 5 years now has taught me anything it's how to listen attentively to crazy people those who need to be heard. To paraphrase the Ghostbusters, I'm ready to hear you. In addition, we are actively in the process of getting some interviews booked for the show and that will provide a rare opportunity for you to talk to some of your favorite fighters.

And even if you think I'm a complete lunatic who knows nothing about MMA and isn't worth wasting time talking to, you gotta admit, Samer and Kuch know their stuff. You should call in and talk to them. They are what my wife and I would call, "A Smart" (← pronounce with a bad Bostonian accent). You should at least call in and call Harris an idiot (assuming you are one of the ones that do so regularly on the R's). I didn't come here to tell you any of that so without further ado, let's get on with the fussin' and a fightin'.

Light Heavyweight bout: Houston Alexander (205.5lbs 12-6-0-2) vs. Razak Al-Hassan (204lbs 11-3)

ROUND TWO Both fighters are still trying to find their distance. Alexander catches a kick from Al-Hassan and then smacks him. Al-Hassan follows up with a side kick. Alexander gets poked in the eye. Alexander keeps trying to land that low body punch. Al-Hassan has been very lethargic this round. With 20 seconds left they clinch. Alexander lands one last punch and knocks him down to end the round.

SCORECARD: Alexander 10-9

The doctor checks Al-Hassan's hand and opts to stop the fight due to a dislocated vaginafinger. Your winner by TKO (MMA fingerpoke of doom) Houston Alexander.

Well this was a mixed bag if there ever was one. You can definitely see lower level of proficient in these fighters that far separates them from the UFC or even Strikeforce. Ah well, you win some you lose some.

See you tomorrow night for UFC on Versus 5.
