From Bloody Elbow

ESPN Star Sports, one of the biggest sports providers in Asia, decided to make a venture into MMA with an organization dubbed as Martial Combat - 'Asia's Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts Fighting Championship'. They're promising to be the largest MMA broadcast in Asia, with over 60 hours of content, shown to 310 million viewers in 24 different countries.

Intresting to see ESPN throw its hat into the mma world. The first card is on may 12th.
