DALLAS (April 1, 2009) When the biggest names in MMA have news to break, they turn to HDNet’s INSIDE MMA as their exclusive outlet.

HDNet’s INSIDE MMA is the first and only one of its kind – an original, weekly television program devoted completely to news and highlights from the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
Hosts Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten are joined by the sport’s top fighters and news-makers every week to discuss and analyze the latest in MMA.

INSIDE MMA has become the hottest Mixed Martial Arts program on television, giving fans their weekly fix of everything MMA.

This week, INSIDE MMA features a two-part interview with current UFC Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar. Ron Kruck sits down with the South Dakota farm boy as he talks about his fight with Randy Couture and his rematch with Frank Mir. Lesnar questions whether Mir needed the surgery that delayed their fight – or if Mir was just trying to avoid him?

Next Friday, Lesnar talks to Kruck about his time in the WWE, the movie “The Wrestler” and his future in Mixed Martial Arts.

Since the program’s inception in September of 2007, INSIDE MMA has covered some of the biggest stories in the business, presenting interviews with the biggest names involved.
