Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which will stage two events in the span of three days (December 10 and 13), is not the only promotion busy this week.
Adrenaline MMA is set to pull the trigger on its encore show at the iWireless Center in Moline, Ill., on Friday, December 11. The Monte Cox-led promotion hosted its inaugural event back in June, featuring a main event between Mike Russow and Jason Guida.
Russow -- a talented prospect whose days on the smaller show circuit could be numbered -- is back for more. However, Adrenaline MMA 2 will be headlined by 40-year-old former UFC champion and training legend Pat Miltetich, returning after more than two years away from the sport to take on Thomas Denny.
Ben Rothwell, Mike Ciesnolevicz, Ryan McGivern and others highlight a card that comprises several notable names and decent match ups.
Here is the latest line up, which is subject to change:
