  - HDNET FIGHTS PARTNERS WITH CANADA'S MFC
Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - by MMAWeekly.com
HDNet Fights on Wednesday announced that it has formed a broadcast partnership with Maximum Fighting Championship in Canada. The agreement includes a live event on Feb. 22, which will be the first of three events in 2008 between the two partners.
"We're excited to head to Canada to cover this event," said Mark Cuban, president and co-founder of HDNet. "Bringing this live MMA action to our fans in Canada is a great way for us to reward all of our viewers north of the border."
"This partnership with MFC helps to expand HDNet Fights outside the U.S., and to bring new fighters into the fold," said Andrew Simon, CEO of HDNet Fights. "We're looking forward to traveling to Canada to bring our viewers this exciting event."
The main event of the Feb. 22 event features Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Pete Spratt facing an undefeated, but much less experienced, Ryan Ford. Spratt brings a 17-10 professional record to the ring, while Ford is 4-0, having finished all of his opponents thus far inside the first or second round.
No future MFC dates were announced.
