Showtime has announced the contents of their second MMA card, which will take place on June 2, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Three bouts of the live card will be shown on Showtime during a one-hour telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

On Feb. 10, 2007, Showtime aired the first-ever MMA fight card carried live on premium television.

Then, a pay-per-view portion of the June 2 mega event will feature up to six bouts and will start following the free teaser.

Former WWE star Brock lesnar will be facing off with South Korean Hong Man Choi, all 7-2 of him, and the giant said he’s excited to be taking part.

“This is my first MMA event and I am very excited. I am happy to be part of this sport. I feel fortunate to havemy health and I am ready to go. I have a good feeling about this. “My opponent is obviously very, very large. But size doesn’t matter. It just gives me a huge target to hit.
“I think they are making a big mistake by fighting me. Choi has more experience, but when it comes time for me to put his butt on the mat, he will be like a fish out of water.

“I want to thank everyone involved. This is a heck of an opportunity and a chance to get back to my amateur wrestling roots. I’ve been training a year and feel very comfortable.

“This is going to be a great event and I can’t wait for when it’s time for lights, camera and action. I am looking to make a huge impact on the MMA today.’’

Ex-footballer Johnnie Morton will also be making his MMA debut.

“This is my first pro fight. No, I don’t know of many other NFL players doing this. But I got beat up all those years playing football so I decided to give this a try.

“I stay in shape year round. So in the off-seasons, I would train in kick-boxing gyms and learn new moves. I am going into this totally blind.

“The big thing is, this is a new challenge in a sport I have never done before. My whole life, I played team sports. This is a chance to do an individual one.

“This sport is nuts. But football was nuts, too. At least in football, you do get hit sometimes, too.

“I feel my strengths are heart, courage, strength and competitiveness. I feel extremely strong in my upper body and on my feet.

“I’ve watched MMA from the very start and always found it interesting. It was my favorite sport to watch. Now, I am going to be in the biggest MMA event in American history. Sure, I will be a little nervous. But if you are not nervous, you should not be here.

“I am proud to be involved in this big event. I am looking forward to making a mark.’’

Royce Gracie will also be fighting on the show.
