HCF Looking To Sign Belfort, Arona & Alessio Next?

[Bluto]

The formula couldn't be any simpler.

Bring in top-ranked fighters, convince a television network to commit airtime and let the fans do the rest.

It's a plan that's seen the Ultimate Fighting Championship grow into a mega-million dollar monster.

Hardcore Championship Fighting CEO Keith Crawford hopes to do the same in the Great White North.

The Canadian fight club has been on a big-name signing binge of late.

Pride's Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, former UFC veterans Renato 'Babalu' Sobral and Joe Riggs have signed on. Negotiations are ongoing with former UFC heavyweight champ Vitor Belfort, Pride vet Ricardo Arona and Canadian John Alessio.

I hope they sign Arona. I want to see him fight. He only fought twice since 2005. That's not a lot for a guy that's not even 30.

Arona signed with M-1 apparently.

According to “Vale Tudo News”, Brazilian ace Ricardo Arona (13-5-0) announced that he has signed a four fight deal with Russian organization M-1. The opponent(s), due to contractual issues, weren’t revealed. Arona said that he is now focused in his debut, in December. When asked if the first fight would be with Fedor Emilianenko (26-1-0), Ricardo Arona smiled and kept his silence.
