FightZone TV, in their third year of broadcasting the Best of MMA Programming from around the country, will celebrate their 500th airing on FSN affiliates this month with “Ultimate Warrior Challenge’s (UWC) “Man ‘O’ War,” an event that was so packed with exciting fights, it had to be split into two hour and a half shows.

Production values on these shows rival anything on the air today. Promoter Marcello Foran spared no expense to bring UWC fans the best video presentation possible and FightZone TV is proud to bring this historic event to their viewers.

The Washington, DC show was taped before a SRO crowd on February 21st, 2009 at the George Mason University Patriot Center Arena in Fairfax, VA breaking all UWC attendance records.

Of course, FightZone’s Jay Adams was cageside to call all the action along with Bloody Elbow’s Luke Thomas. Another UWC/FightZone first was reached when the show was streamed live for free on www,Sherdog.com, the world’s premier MMA site, to over hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Highlight include:
Mike Easton in the UWC inaugural bantamweight title against late replacement Justin Robbins substituting for a totally unexplained “No Show” by scheduled headliner Bebe Chase.

In the co-main event, IFL veteran Jamal Patterson took on TUF alumni Antwain Britt.

Other action saw John Dodson vs. Jose Villarisco, an exciting but controversial “No Contest” in the fight between TUF vet Richie Hightower and Marcus Foran resulting in a confirmed rematch in the next event.

A definite crowd pleaser was the women’s fight between Moroccan born Iman Achhal and HIT Squad’s Felice Herrig, a first for UWC.

UWC’s next show “Capital Punishment” takes place April 25th, also at the Patriot Center, tickets for which are on sale now. Visit www.uwcmma.com for more information.

Coming soon on FightZone TV, look for Pure Combat “Backyard Brawl” from Tulare, CA, which was also hosted by Jay Adams and shown live on Sherdog, Pro Battle MMA “Return To Glory ” from Ft. Smith, AK, Mainstream MMA’s “Pinnacle II” from Iowa
