Apparently, the first professional mixed martial arts show in India is going to be hosted in Mumbai on the 11th:

A few recognizable names on the first card. Professor X, Jimmy Ambriz, and of course James Thompson and Bob Sapp. Expect Thompson to pound out a disinterested Sapp in less than a minute (If Sapp pulls off a victory, though, I anticipate he'll get a wave of popularity similar to what he experienced in Japan). There are also a few Indian guys with no professional experience fighting. It'll be interesting to see what they have to offer.
On top of this, Todd Duffee, Paul Kelly, and Trevor Prangley have also signed with the promotion:

I recommend that everyone keep on the watch for any articles on the event from Indian news sources. Whenever MMA breaks into a new country, the clueless media is always good for a few laughs. So far, from what I've read, coverage has been mostly positive.
