Jay Heiron guest on HDNets 'Inside MMA' tonight; Knockout of Jason High at Affliction to air

If you watched Affliction: "Day of Reckoning" last Saturday night from the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., you were probably wondering what happened to the welterweight bout between Jay Hieron and Jason High, which was mysteriously absent from the telecast.
It turns out, the promotion had to push the fight to the end of the event -- after the pay-per-view was over -- because there simply wasn't enough time to squeeze the dark match onto either the HDNet or PPV broadcasts.
It's a shame, too, because the fight itself turned out to be on par with most of the fights that night, meaning it was a high paced battle with a great finish.
Not to fear -- HDNet plans to air the highlight reel-worthy fight tonight during its hour-long, weekly MMA news show, "Inside MMA," tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
Better late than never.
Heiron -- the former International Fight League (IFL) 170 pound champion -- ended the fight just over a minute with an onslaught of strikes.
The loss was the first of High's career. He had previously finished five out of his six opponents before the final bell -- two via technical knockout and three by submission. It's also worth noting that two of those wins had come against Octagon veterans James Giboo and Kevin Burns.
For Hieron, this win marked his fifth in a row. He's shown a ton of improvement since being forced out of the UFC after losing his second straight match for the promotion back at Ultimate Fight Night 2 in 2005 to Jonathan Goulet. His nine fights under the IFL banner really did his career a world of good.
He's competed twice and won both times since the promotion went under last year.
The fight is worth checking out tonight if you haven't seen it already. In addition to Heiron, tonight's guests include long-time MMA veteran Tank Abbott, as well as the last reigning WEC light heavyweight champion, Steve Cantwell.
