"This is a huge opportunity for me. I’ve been working hard and training non-stop. So many people have come up to me saying, ‘Beat his ass,’ and that’s what I’m going to try and do. I’m a stand-up fighter – boxing and Samba – but I’ve been learning Muay Tai. I’m a brawler who lives for the Fight of the Night. I’m looking for that to happen and to win by knockout. There’s huge interest in our fight. A lot of people at the casino have mentioned it to me and after the press conference, I ‘Googled’ myself and saw that I was all over the place. I must admit, I do have a few Affliction T-shirts, but my girlfriend bought them for me. I’m enjoying this and can’t wait to get in the cage with Tom. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime for me."
-- Randy Hedderick talks about his high profile mixed martial arts debut against Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio at "Ultimate Chaos" from the at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss., this weekend (Saturday, June 27). Hedderick is well aware that an unusual spotlight has already been focused on the lightweight showdown. And he plans to make the most of the opportunity by beating down the the 42-year-old t-shirt mogul. If that is indeed how things turn out don't think for one second that Hedderick will be the only one who will be "enjoying" the experience.

I do believe you Jared.
I wouldn’t mind fighting him either, I’m also carrying more weight like you and I’m also younger than him but I think I’d smash him too, KO all the way.
I must say I also think that this Randy dude got a big chance of doing the exact same thing… damn it must feel good to KO Atencio.
Randy, please make one for the highlight reel!

I dont get why people even want to see this guy KO’ed. He has been nothing but respectful and honest…not to mention he has provided fans with some great match ups that Dana could never provide us!
YOu bring king Fedor to America, and match him up against 3 top fighters that I have always wanted to see him fight….and you are OK in my book!
U guys act like this is Dana white we are talking about. Tom has fought before, and I am sure he has been training for a really long time. I respect anyone who fights professionally, especialy a rich exec who has really nothing to gain from fighting, but does it for the love of competition and the sport!
He is OK in my book!
mOthaFOCKING WAR TOM ATENCIO!!!!!

I hope he beats Tom into submission by strikes. I can’t imagine the ego this guy will develop if he wins this fight. He has already called out Dana. He should be working on his failing company instead of fulfilling his mid-life-crisis.

‘Ultimate Chaos’—pretty obvious why they named it that. Hoping the casual fans will get it confused with UFC. If he was smart he’d just call every show ‘Ultimate’ something.

There is a huge “conflict of interest” here. Atencio is seriously one ambitious Son of a bitch.
