Tonight the first blast of hype for MFC 21: Hard Knocks hits the airwaves.
 
MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich, top-ranked MFC light heavyweight Aron "The Poster Boy" Lofton, and MFC superfight competitor Bobby Lashley will be guests on "Inside Sports" with guest host Dave Campbell airing on 630 CHED. The dynamic trio will be on the air at 10:35 p.m. MT/9:35 p.m. PT/12:35 a.m. ET with the streaming broadcast available at www.630ched.com.
 
Pavelich will be bringing MFC and mixed martial arts fans all the latest updates as MFC 21: Hard Knocks approaches this Friday, May 15 at the River Cree Resort and Casino just outside Edmonton, Alberta. The fight card will also be broadcast live on HDNet Fights starting at 8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET.
 
Lofton (6-1) is preparing for what is expected to be a fireworks-packed fight against fellow hard-hitter Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman (15-9). The Tulsa, Oklahoma, native is eyeing a move to the upper echelon of the MFC's 205-pound division but Eastman will provide a stern challenge.
 
Lashley (2-0) is set to face Mike Cook (7-3) in a heavyweight showdown. It's just the third fight of Lashley's mixed martial arts following his three-year, star-studded run in the WWE.
