Adrenaline MMA Signs 3 Fight Deal With HDNet


New York -- Fans unable to attend the first Adrenaline MMA event on June 14 at the Sears Center Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill., will be able to watch the event live on HDNet.

Adrenaline CEO Monte Cox has announced a deal for the Mark Cuban-owned HDNet to carry the event's first three shows live.

"We want to be considered one of the top events in the country," Cox said. "In order to compete at that level, we have to have a television deal. This enables us to build a following not only in the cities we hold events, but also with fans around the country."

Among the first fighters signed to Adrenaline MMA contracts are former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia, former IFL heavyweight standout Ben Rothwell and former Bodog champion Ed Alvarez.

Adrenaline MMA's first show features UFC and Pride veteran Jeff Monson** against Chicago police officer and Pride veteran Mike Russow. For the complete card, check out adrenaline-mma.com.
