Adrenaline MMA, the organization formerly known as M-1 Global and run
by Monte Cox, has released an updated card for its debut June 14 card.

The event, which features a main event between former UFC heavyweight
contender Jeff Monson and Mike Russow, takes place at the Sears Centre
near Chicago.

The 14-fight card includes a number of familiar names, including Terry
Martin, Tony Fryklund, Bart Palaszewski, Aaron Rosa and others.
Additionally, a number of Chicago-area fighters have been booked for
the night’s preliminary card.

Jonathan Goulet (22-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has pulled out of a planned UFC 85 bout with Paul Kelly (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

Goulet, who defeated Kuniyoshi Hironaka just three weeks ago at UFC 83,
turned down the June 7 fight due to a shortage of training time,
according to a Thursday report from TKO Xtreme.

Goulet had been one of the last fighters scheduled for the event. At

6” cast member Troy Mandaloniz at the event.

Ben Saunders (5-0-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who last competed in December at The

MMAjunkie.com recently had a chance to
speak with the 25-year-old as he prepares for a fight against fellow “TUF
6” alumnus Jared Rollins.

Saunders spoke about a number of topics, including the UFC’s
roster cuts, the upcoming UFC video game, his future in the
welterweight division, and his upcoming fight at UFC 86 on July 5.

I’ve been going over the UFN 13 odds for the past two hours and I can’t understand how some of these underdogs have such good odds.  I really can’t find value in any of the favorites for the night besides Din Thomas, so this looks like its going to be a great night for betting […]
