Hungry to release its highly anticipated Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) reality
series, BodogFight, digital entertainment powerhouse Bodog.com has wrapped
filming in the jungles of Central America and the debut episode of the
action-packed weekly series is scheduled to air September 12 on Men's
Network, a Dish Network satellite channel, and online at Bodog.TV. In an
onslaught of head-to-head bouts, Bodog.com's billionaire Founder, Calvin
Ayre, has set the stage for the toughest fighters in the world to showcase
their talents. In the eight-episode series, seven elite modern-day American
warriors will earn the right to represent the United States. As part of
"Team America", the seven fighters will square off against members of the
Russian Red Devil Sports Club, which is known for its fierce roster that
includes world heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko. This USA vs. Russia
grudge match will be broadcast live on pay-per-view in November and will
include three Superfights. Viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the
secret training regimen of the elite Russian squad as well as the individual
training programs and lifestyles of the American fighters all through the
eyes of BodogFight's special agents - rock phenomenon Bif Naked in the
United States and her beautiful Russian counterpart Natalia Vilakova. The
sexy duo will be on a quest to find the toughest, most ruthless Mixed
Martial Arts athletes the two countries have to offer. Plus, audiences are
going to be treated to up close and personal experiences with fighters as
they prepare to enter the ring, and spectacular training and interview
footage shot in the lush Central American jungle and rustic Costa Rican
cities - visuals that will leave no doubt BodogFight has set the new
standard for reality TV.
"As each episode of BodogFight airs, viewers are going to witness firsthand
why we are emerging as a dominant force in mainstream digital
entertainment," says Calvin Ayre, creator of a number of reality television
series and Founder of Bodog.com Entertainment Group. "The footage capturing
the lives, personalities and grueling training regimens of each athlete can
only be described as raw and riveting. Bodog has captured the essence of
Mixed Martial Arts as a sport and lifestyle for the world to see."

Elimination battles, behind-the-scenes training, interviews with fighters,
and lifestyle segments will compose seven of the weekly one-hour
"BodogFight" episodes, with the recap finale leading into the PPV main
event. The three massive super fights and the spectacular USA vs. Russia
event will be produced by the Mixed Fight Championship (MFC) and sponsored
by BodogFight.
