History

Foundation

In October 2007, Sibling Entertainment Group, a producer of theater and other entertainment, [ [http://www.411mania.com/MMA/columns/62339 411mania.com: MMA - MMA Analytics 10.29.07: Analysis of M-1 Global ] ] announced that its newly created subsidiary, Sibling Sports LLC, was purchasing M-1 Mixfight, a Russian-based mixed martial arts promotion owned by Vadim Finkelstein. The new venture was named M-1 Global. Along with the purchase, Fedor Emelianenko, the last PRIDE Heavyweight Champion and a free agent managed by Finkelstein, was to sign with the new organization. Monte Cox, an established promoter and manager who has managed fighters like UFC champions Tim Sylvia, Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin and promoted around 500 cards, was appointed its first president. [ [http://blogs.chron.com/fighting/2008/04/adrenalines_cox_would_trade_fe.html Brawl Sports: Adrenaline's Cox: 'Would trade Fedor for Rothwell and Sylvia every day' ] ] Finkelstein, however, continued his M-1 operations in Russia, running the M-1 Mixfight website independently of Sibling and Cox and promoting his own events under the M-1 banner.cite news|work=CBS Sportsline|first=Sam|last=Caplan|url=http://www.sportsline.com/mmaboxing/story/10677292/1|title=Five Ounces of Pain: Q&A with M-1 Global CEO Monte Cox|date=2008-02-29|accessdate=2008-08-03]

Although the organization had yet to hold its first card, its first co-promotion effort was "Yarennoka!" held in Saitama, Japan on New Years Eve, 2007. "Yarennoka!" was held by former executives of PRIDE Fighting Championships, with M-1 Global billed as a co-promoter. Fedor Emelianenko appeared on the card, defeating Hong-Man Choi via armbar in the first round.

On April 19, 2008, Monte Cox confirmed that Finkelstein had split from M-1 Global. Cox also revealed that Emelianenko never actually did consummate an agreement with M-1 Global, and that Emelianenko would become a free agent again. Finkelstein would resume his operations with M-1 Mixfight, while the Sibling subsidiary headed by Cox would be known as "Adrenaline".

The official first event took place on June 14, 2008, and was headlined by Mike Russow and Jason Guida. [http://www.adrenaline-mma.com/?q=node/4 Fight Results - Jason Guida vs Mike Russow - June 14, 2008 | Adrenaline MMA ] ] .
