ESPN Mma?

Can anyone tell me what this is? I was looking at a listing of events at Mohegan Sun as I live in CT, and came across this. Cant find anything about it when I do a google search. Weird.

It’s a new organization who’s holding four concurrent tournaments (middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight) over the next few months. It’s labeled as “ESPN MMA” because it’ll be airing in Spanish on ESPN Deportes the following day.

It’s tough to say, since they haven’t announced any match-ups for that show yet and their first show is only one week before. But they’ve got some great names lined up for the tournaments (Eddie Alvarez, Paulo Filho, Jorge Masvidal, Wilson Reis) and Bellator is the first MMA show to air on ESPN so it’s pretty historic from that angle.

For what it’s worth, if I was nearby and could get cheap tickets, I’d be there in a second.
