TORONTO, Feb 23, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Blackout Media Corp (BKMP) announces that The Fight Network will be presenting Jungle Fights 1 on Friday, March 17th on Viewers Choice Canada as part of "Fight Network, Fight Nights" series. Jungle Fights will be making its North American Pay-Per-View debut on The Fight Network.
Jungle Fights was produced and promoted by Japanese fighting and wrestling legend Atonio Inoki and Brazilian mixed martial artist Wallid Ismael. This one-of-a-kind fighting event takes place at the basin of the Amazon River. The reason for this location is that Mr. Inoki and Mr. Ismael wanted to use the Jungle Fights event to help draw people's attentions to the environmental issues that challenge our planet every day if we allow places like the Amazon Rain Forrest to be destroyed.
All fighters who competed in this mixed martial arts tournament planted a tree at this event to symbolize their dedication to this cause. Some of the fighters who competed in the Jungle Fights tournament include: Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Pele Landy, and Stephan Bonnar from The Ultimate Fighter reality series.
