Fighting Entertainment Group (K-1's parent company), Pro Elite, and Showtime yesterday made official the news that broke earlier this week on MMAWeekly.com. The trio scheduled a press conference for Tuesday, March 27 to announce “Softbank presents DYNAMITE!! USA in association with ProElite,” a major pay-per-view event at the massive Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The press conference will introduce four of the key fighters for the event: MMA legend Royce Gracie, former WWE wrestler and NCAA national champion amateur wrestler Brock Lesnar, 7-foot-2-inch K-1 fighter Hong-Man Choi, and former NFL player Johnnie Morton.

It is believed, as reported here, that the pay-per-view event will take place under the K-1 Hero’s banner on June 2, 2007. It is also believed that the main event of the show will feature Brock Lesnar making his MMA debut against Hong-Man Choi.

I guess he is going to fight on a card headlined by Royce F'in Gracie. Hell, he may even be fighting Gracie. I never knew he trained...
