(PRWEB) July 14, 2007 -- FIGHT! magazine -- the new MMA magazine published by Bluff Media -- will debut its inaugural issue later this month. FIGHT! will feature contributions by the sports biggest names: current champions, past champions, industry insiders and established veterans. Articles will be written by the best journalists covering the sport and the distinctive and unique visual style of the magazine will appeal to both avid fight fans and the newer crossover audience that the sport has been so successfully attracting.

Foster has been releasing public picks for MMA events for several years and has a long documented winning record as an MMA bettor. He is also the moderator of the Sports Betting Forum on TwoPlusTwo.com. He joins FIGHT! magazine as a regular contributor to share his insights on betting on MMA.

"As mixed-martial arts moves into the mainstream, the time is right for a magazine like FIGHT! by highlighting the sport's outstanding competitors and personalities in ways never seen before," says Donovan Craig, FIGHT! executive editor.

The inaugural issue will feature The Ultimate Fighter 4 winner and current UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra on its cover and will contain an in-depth profile of the fighter.

"FIGHT! takes the coverage of mixed-martial arts to a new level," says Serra. "I am thrilled to be on the cover of the debut issue."        

The issue will include an introduction to MMA wagering column penned by UFCjunkie.com's Foster. The piece is designed to introduce both the casual fan and the experienced bettor to the finer points of betting on MMA events. Foster's contributions to FIGHT! will continue with future articles that provide further insight into MMA wagering.

Bas Rutten, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Frank Shamrock, "Big" John McCarthy and the legendary Rickson Gracie are among some of the MMA superstars contributing to the first issue.

"I have been at the forefront movement to spread mixed-martial arts throughout the world and am pleased to be a part of the inception of FIGHT! magazine, which seeks to illustrate and express the embodiment of the mixed-martial arts lifestyle," says Gracie.
