Bodog.TV Charges into Mixed Martial Arts USA takes Russia to war in groundbreaking reality series 'BodogFight'August 18, 2006With a fierce cast of nearly two dozen American competitors, Bodog.TV has produced its first Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) television show, with filming slated to begin August 17, 2006, in Costa Rica. The debut episode of the action-packed weekly series BodogFight - in which Bodog.com's billionaire Founder and CEO Calvin Ayre sets out to find the toughest fighters in the world - airs September 12 on Men's Network, a Dish Network satellite channel, and online at Bodog.TV. In an onslaught of head-to-head bouts, the field will be whittled down to the top seven. The elite modern-day warriors who survive the jungles of Central America will form the U.S. team that squares off against fighters from the Russian Red Devil Sports Club, home to some of the world's nastiest MMA competitors. The USA vs. Russia grudge match will take place in Los Angeles on November 4 and be broadcast live on pay-per-view. The brainchild of billionaire digital entertainment mogul Calvin Ayre, the series documents Ayre's two special agents - rock phenomenon Bif Naked in the United States and her beautiful Russian counterpart Natalia Vilakova - in their search for the toughest, most ruthless Mixed Martial Arts athletes the two countries have to offer. Once selected by Ayre, the fighters travel to Costa Rica, where they will compete for the opportunity to be part of the American contingent that will advance to battle the world famous Russian Red Devil Team.
