</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PRESS RELEASE</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>As a Chicago policeman, Mike Russow has become accustomed to dangerous situations.</p>
<p>So, it is understandable when Russow only smiles and refers to fighting veteran Jeff Monson in a professional mixed martial arts bout as a &#8220;great opportunity.&#8221;  Russow, 9-1 in his pro career, takes on Monson, 23-7, in the heavyweight main event of Adrenaline MMA on June 14 at the Sears Centre.</p>
<p>A total of 13 pro bouts are scheduled in the inaugural Adrenaline event. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and fights begin at 6 p.m.</p>
<p>&#8220;Monson is far more than just a veteran,&#8221; said Adrenaline CEO Monte Cox. &#8220;He has fought in every major event in the world and competed for countless titles, including the UFC heavyweight title. He comes into the event having won 18 of his last 20 bouts and is looking to prove Russow is not yet ready for the big time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Russow, on the other hand, has been crushing opposition and has been tested twice in major events&#8230; losing to then No. 6 ranked Sergei Kharitonov in Pride, then crushing Roman Zentzov in Japan&#8217;s Yarennoka event last New Years Eve. He&#8217;s ready to show he should be considered among the world&#8217;s best.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Sears Centre Box Office, online at www.searscentre.com or by calling 1-888-SEARSTIX.</p>
<p>A foursome of UFC veterans make up the two feature bouts. Chicago&#8217;s Terry Martin (16-4) will face Japan&#8217;s Daiju Takase (7-11) while Chicago&#8217;s Brian Gassaway (25-17) takes on Las Vegas&#8217; Tony Fryklund (14-9).</p>
<p>Martin is a knockout artist, but will need to be cautious of the submission ability of Takase, who owns wins over UFC champion Anderson Silva and former UFC champ Carlos Newton.</p>
<p>Gassaway and Fryklund are two of the sport&#8217;s true veterans and both prefer the standup game, which should make for an exciting bout.</p>
<p>The International Fight League has allowed two of its standouts with Chicago ties &#8212; Bart Palaszewski and Mark Miller &#8212; to compete on the card as well as Zac George. And EliteXC provided striker Aaron Rosa and all-around standout Hector Urbina.</p>
<p>Other Chicago area fighters include Rory Markham, Herc Hayes, Kerry Schall, Clay French, Mike Stumpf, Ryan Williams and John Hosman.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Roger Huerta will face undefeated mixed martial artists Alberto Crane at UFC 74 in August.</p>
<p>Huerta boasts a stellar 20-1-1 MMA record and a spotless 4-0 record in the UFC. Currently in the midst of a 14 fight win streak, Huerta defeated Jason Dent, John Halverson, and Leonard Garcia in his first 3 UFC fights. In his last UFC fight Huerta received a scare after another UFC newcomer, Doug Evans, seemingly won the first round of their fight on The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale. Huerta rebounded in the second round to defeat Evans by TKO in the second round. Earlier in 2007 Huerta became one of the UFC&#8217;s most famous fighters after he became the first fighter to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.</p>
<p>Crane has a perfect 8-0 MMA record and will make his UFC debut against tough competition in Huerta who has quickly risen to become a top contender in the lightweight division. Crane is a submission specialist ending 7 of his 8 wins by way of submission. Hailing from New Mexico, Crane last fought in the Professional No Rules Fighting Organization which is based in the state.</p>
<p>This fight should be an interesting one pitting a striker in Huerta against a ground-based, submission fighter in Crane making this bout a true clash of styles.</p>
