Bodog takes viewers around the world
We’ve talked about UFC, Pride, IFL and WEC – now let’s not forget about Bodog. This promotion tapes many of its first in Costa Rica and held a pay-per-view in Russia in April.
The most recently edition highlighted the welterweight division. Bodog aired a pair of fights that were won by champion Eddie Alvarez and top contender Nick “The Goat” Thompson. Then, Bodog aired the title fight between the two from the April pay-per-view. Thompson won the title in the second round via TKO.
This made for an action packed episode, but I have to question the wisdom of airing a title fight on free TV two months after asking viewers to order it on pay-per-view.
One unique aspect of Bodog is that it sometimes features female competitors. This is refreshing considering that women are often used as eye candy in just about every other promotion.
Bodog airs on the Ion group of local TV stations on Tuesday and Saturday nights at 11 p.m. Get all of the details at www.bodogfight.com.
