BodogFight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BodogFight is a reality television series and mixed martial arts competition, originating from Costa Rica, and created and produced by entertainment mogul Calvin Ayre, and his Bodog.com Entertainment Group. The show is aired on Men's Outdoor and Recreation, DISH Network, The Fight Network in Canada, and webcast for free.
On February 5, 2007, ION Television announced an exclusive television alliance with Bodog Entertainment. Beginning February 13th, ION Television started to run original episodes of “BodogFight: St. Petersburg” Tuesdays and Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET/PT; this time slot, generally used for infomercials and other paid programming, has been paid for by Bodog. The series will lead up to a special event in Russia later this spring, featuring some of the biggest names in the world of mixed martial arts. [1]
Seven professional MMA fighters are situated in Costa Rica and fight to earn the right to represent the United States as part of "Team USA". In a later pay-per-view event, these victors will square off against members of the Russian Red Devils team.
The Mixed Fighting Championship also helped to produce BodogFight.
BodogFight's signature catch phrase is "Nobody getting carried away".
