8 Point MMA was able to catch up with Strikeforce fighter, and former IFL Welterweight Champion, Jay Hieron. Jay is fighting on the upcoming Strikeforce: Miami card against UFC Veteran Joe Riggs. We discussed his upcoming fight, his past with the IFL, and even things such as the roots of Xtreme Couture.

When asked about this upcoming fight, Jay said "I think this is a great match up! At this point in my career, I want to fight guys with names, and Joe Riggs definitely has a name. He has been around the sport a long time, and has fought a lot of tough guys, I am excited for this fight"

8 Point MMA also asked Hieron whom he thinks he matches up better with, and he gave a very insightful response "I match up well with both of them, it just depends on whom I'm fighting, or who am focused for. If I'm fighting Riggs, I'm getting up for Riggs. If I'm fighting Diaz, I'm getting up for Diaz. It's a different fight, they are both southpaws so it is kind of similar, but I match up well with anyone I'm fighting. You know, I can adapt to any situation."
