Those of you wishing to watch Monte Cox’s Adrenaline MMA debut show this weekend, but don’t have HDNet, can see the event live on the internet.

Adrenaline MMA announced Thursday it has entered into a partnership with Vividas, a leading developer and provider of video streaming technology.

“Those MMA fans who can’t see the fights live or watch on HDNet will have the opportunity to see all the fights, including the preliminaries, live through Vividas. Our undercard is as loaded as our main event,” Adrenaline CEO and President Monte Cox said.

As a specialist in streaming online events, Vividas will provide audiences the chance to view the event from their computer in high-quality, full-screen action. Vividas offers audiences a simple, hassle-free viewing experience at the click of a button.

The main event will feature Mike Russow taking on Jason Guida, who was brought in to replace an injured Jeff Monson. The event and live streaming begins tomorrow, June 14 at 6PM ET. HDNet will begin airing the televised card at 9:30PM ET.

Adrenaline MMA Announces First Event; Jeff Monson & Mike Russow To Headline

Adrenaline MMA, formerly the American side of M-1 Global, has officially announced its inaugural event, set to take place in Chicago, Ill., at the Sears Centre Arena on June 14. The organization, led by Monte Cox, has signed two high-profile heavyweights to date—Tim Sylvia and Ben Rothwell—however, they won’t be competing for Adrenaline until its second show in September due to their participation in Affliction: Banned. Because of that, Cox has lined up Jeff Monson and Mike Russow to battle it out in the night’s main event.

The card is actually comprised of many familiar names which you might recognize from the UFC and IFL, including Terry Martin, Alberto Crane, Rory Markham, Daiju Takase (who holds a win over Anderson Silva, but not much else), Bart Palaszewski and others. The card is pretty decent for Adrenaline’s first show, although it’s nothing that’s going to set your hair on fire.

Monte Cox is a smart man, though, with a lot of experience in this business—managing fighters and promoting events. I would imagine he will have some level of success, but I wouldn’t expect anything that could even come close to approaching the UFC anytime in the near future.
