MTV tried wrestling when it was hot...egg on the face and trying to live down the horror of Wrestling Society X. Now MTV is apparently getting into the MMA game as well. Five Ounces of Pain that World Fighting Championship, a Florida-based promotion, is slated to have there MAy 30 show on the channel. This was brought up during a interview with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Marcus Jones, who is fighting on the show.

It was then later confirmed by the New Jersey Athletic Control Board that MTV is expected to be involved in the promotion, though the extent is not known. Kit Cope is scheduled to headline the event against Dave Cochran. Cope, ironically, was featured on the MTV documentary series True Life. More info is expected.

It is also interesting to note that MTV is owned by Viacom which also owns Spike TV.
