M-1 Challenge kicking off 2009 at Playboy Mansion

M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelstein has recently made the announcement that the second season of M-1 Challenge is set to kickoff along side the Playboy bunnies.  Scheduled for the February 21, 2009 event are Team USA vs. Team Brazil, Team Japan vs. Team UK, and the Russian Imperial Team vs. Team Spain.  This will not be the first time an MMA event has been held at the famous Playboy mansion, Strikeforce has held two events there.  As there were for the Strikeforce events, I’m sure every MMA writer and his brother will be trying to get a media pass for this one - and for some reason, I don’t think it’s going to matter who is fighting.
