Now, Mark Cuban's HDNet fights has added yet another promotion to the list as they recently attained the rights to televise World Victory Road's Sengoku, a Japanese MMA organization.
WVR Sengoku was first started in 2007, immediately after Zuffa purchased PrideFC. Since then, they have held a total of 7 events including its latest show called Sengoku "No Ran 2009." The new partnership has announced that their very first WVR-Sengoku event (WVR 7) broadcast will be aired on March 20th, 2009.
The show will include a highly anticipated match-up between Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and Ryo Kawamura as well as the first round of a 16-man featherweight tournament.
