Mixed Martial Arts
"Having a passion for mixed martial arts as a sport, I wanted the Bodog Fight TV series and interactive Website to set new standards for fans," said Ayre. "With bootlegged fight videos for the hardcore fans and uncut, uncensored interviews with the BodogFight referee and fighters, this series has captured all the components and riveting action."
The reality TV series will feature elimination battles, behind-the-scenes training, interviews with fighters, and lifestyle segments that will compose seven of the weekly one-hour "BodogFight" episodes. A recap finale will be held before the main event. The events will be produced by the Mixed Fight Championship (MFC) organization, and sponsored by BodogFight.

The company’s international Bodog.com Marketing Conference (www.bodogconference.com), held in Las Vegas for the past two years, attracts the leaders of the online gaming industry for educational and networking opportunities. Bodog also has a well-known online community, which includes World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jamie Gold (www.bodog.com/poker). The conference, however, has been postponed for this year.
“With all the attention our industry has garnered in recent months by certain officials within the U.S. government, a number of speakers and attendees have communicated their apprehension about participating in an industry event of such magnitude,” said Ayre.
Perhaps that might make for a future reality TV series on Bodog.com – gaming executives squaring off in the ring with U.S. government officials.
