FightZone TV, one of the nation’s largest Independent Distributors of MMA Programming, recently celebrated their 1000th Broadcast TV airing.

FightZone TV, entering their fourth year of MMA related broadcasting, is now available to over 23 million homes on Fox Sport Net’s (FSN) affiliates SunSports, SportSouth, and nationally on DIRECTV, The Dish Network and AT&T U-verse, reaching over 20% of US homes with cable TV.

Mirroring the explosive growth of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), FightZone TV has also added 5 new Promoter Partners to their already impressive line-up. These include Vendetta, X1 Hawaii, Art Of Fighting, Action Fight League and Pure Combat.

Debuting in October is the FightZone TV premier of Vendetta Fighting Championship’s tournament “A Night of Vengeance,” recently held on Aruba, which featured a stacked light heavyweight card that helped propel North Carolina fighter Rodney Wallace to a four fight UFC contract after going 3-0 against some tough competition that night.

The event was held tournament style featuring an 8 man light heavyweight tournament with some of the most promising fighters in the world. Carmello Marerro, Antwain Britt and Rodney Wallace were just a few of the fighters on the card. Other fights include Mr. International Shonie Carter facing off against Derrick “The Eraser” Noble as well as the always spectacular girl fight featuring Sarah Maloy and Rosa Columbo.

Along with FightZone’s Jay Adams in attendance were El Guapo himself, Bas Ruten & Kenny Rice providing Play By Play with ring announcer Tom Looney, voice of ESPN’s Best Damn Sports Show.

Vendetta and FightZone TV are set to return once again to the beautiful island of Aruba in February of 2010 and again in April for more explosive tournament action.

Also debuting in October is X-1 World Events, Hawaii’s premier fight promotion’s presentation of “Champions.” Several X-1 World titles are on the line, and some of the fighters showcased at the event include UFC/Rumble on the Rock veteran Wesley “Cabbage” Correira, The Ultimate Fighter alum Anthony Torres, UFC veteran Niko Vitale, former UFC/Pride heavyweight Ron “H2O” Waterman, big-time female boxer Mia St. John, and well-known island fighters Eddie Yagin and “Sugar” Shane Nelson.

A four-man tournament for the X-1 World Middleweight belt is also on the line, as Falaniko Vitale, Joey Guel, Ricky Shivers, and Kenny Ento all battle for the strap.

Rounding out this month’s action is Pure Combat’s “Home Turf” and Xtreme Fighting Association’s “XFN 3” Kickboxing from Las Vegas.

November’s debuts include Art Of Fighting 4 from Tampa. Fl which features Seth Petruzelli vs. Chris Baten and Action Fight League’s exciting, sold out event, Rumble At The Rock, held at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL.

FightZone TV December Airings will feature new Pure Combat and Cage Wars Championship UK events.

Add to these airings, Jay Adams’ Brawl Call plus MMA 30 with Dave Farra and you have one of the most intense schedules of MMA content in the US with over 60 hours of national MMA programming monthly. FightZone TV is now available on almost a daily basis somewhere in the US.
