SIRIUSXM Radio Star Jason Ellis Unleashed On FUEL TV

“Ellismania”
World Television Premiere Wednesday, April 6, 2011

LOS
ANGELES, CA - FUEL TV, Fox Sports Media Group’s dynamic
entertainment and sports network for young males, announces the world
television premiere of the absurd fight comedy series “Ellismania,”
with
Jason Ellis—Australian “man’s-man,” pro fighter, pro
skateboarder and host of an uncensored, no-holds barred daily show on
Faction, SiriusXM’s action sports and music channel. The four-part
series launches on Wednesday,
April 6
at
10:00PM
ET/PT,
in FUEL TV’s Fearless Wednesdays line up.                                             

In
“Ellismania,”
Jason prepares for and hosts Ellismania 6, a self-branded evening of
“fighting at its dumbest,” peppered with hilarious twists of
comedy for the amusement of friends and fans lucky enough to witness
the absurdity. The series also looks back at the craziness of the
previous five Manias, where star-studded match-ups meet goofball
antics, including shock collars and blindfolds, in the most original
fighting event on the planet.

“Ellismania
is a let’s-get-together-and-punch-each-other-in-the-face party,”
says Jason. “I put it on to give my fans the times of their lives.
I’m really excited to bring it to a much larger television audience
with FUEL TV.”

”I
have never produced, or even seen, a show like this before,” says
FUEL TV’s VP of Production and Development Scott Paridon. ”It’s
truly a lesson of painful humility for anyone who steps into the ring
to be a part of Ellismania. We’re excited to have filmed this
amazing and totally entertaining event and bring it to television for
the first time ever.”

The
series highlights the hilarious and unthinkable exhibitions as sport
and pop culture’s best collide in the ring, including UFC Champions
Jason "Mayhem" Miller, MMA fighter Kit Cope, Animal
Planet’s “Wild Recon” host Donald Schultz and motocross pro
Ronnie Faisst. Ellismania 6 culminates with a main event that
features a match between Angel Jones from E! Entertainment
Television’s “Holly’s World” and Ellis radio show contributor
Josh “Rawdog” Richmond.

Watch
for a who’s who of celebrities such as UFC Champion Tim Silvia,
former heavyweight boxer and trainer Justin Fortune, comedian
Nick Swardson, two-time Supercross Champion Chad Reed, and musician
Everlast to join the fun on the sidelines. The series was shot at the
legendary Hollywood Palladium.                         

“Ellismania,”
a FUEL TV original series, premieres on Wednesday,
April 6 at
10:00PM
ET/PT.
