M-1 Global holds the seemingly ill-fated first of their "premium" fight cards tonight in Kansas City, Missouri, with wrestling sensation "King" Mo Lawal taking on faded MMA icon Mark Kerr in the main event. An exhibition sparring match between Red Devil teammates Fedor Emelianenko and Gegard Mousasi is also set to take place during the event, and the undercard features some top notch prospects like Karl Amoussou and Lucio Linhares. In short, trials and tribulations aside, it ought to be a fun night of fights.

Join us here at Bloody Elbow beginning at 10 PM ET for the start of the live HDNet broadcast.

The undercard will be streaming on Sherdog.com starting at 8:15 PM ET.
