Frank Trigg: FSN Working to Bring World Victory Road's Sengoku to US Airwaves

by Chris Nelson on Aug 9, 2008 4:58 PM EDT in News Comment 3 comments

Frank Trigg joined BloodyElbow.com editor Luke Thomas on today's episode of "MMA Nation" and revealed that Fox Sports Net (FSN) is "working diligently" on a deal which would bring World Victory Road's "Sengoku" events to the American cable network. Trigg cited the forthcoming deal as a major factor in his signing with the Japanese promotion, since a basic cable broadcast would provide more exposure for his Triggonomics apparel line than WVR's currently Japan-only pay-per-view showings. Trigg is set to face Makoto Takimoto - a world class judoka who took gold at the 2000 Olympics and currently holds a 4-4 record in MMA - at the fourth Sengoku event on August 24th.

This is really cool, and I don’t mean more exposure for Triggonomics. I really need to see more Japanese MMA. Sengoku on FSN = Awesome.

Could not agree more!

Only bad thing is no HD.

Its funny listening to these shows after the fact. Trigg is always so passionate about his predictions and analysis. Listening to them post fight shows their worth. Hillarious!

Overall great show though. Always enjoy.
