Veteran heavyweight Mike Russow (11-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), a Chicago police officer who's competed for organizations such as Adrenaline MMA and PRIDE, has signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC and will make his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 19.

The news comes from Matt Erickson of The Times of Northwest Indiana.

No opponent has been determined for the 32-year-old's upcoming UFC debut.

Russow enters the UFC with a seven-fight winning streak, which included a first-round submission victory over Jason Guida in the main event of Adrenaline MMA's first event. Six months later, in December 2008, he scored another submission victory, over Braden Bice, at Adrenaline MMA's second show.

In fact, eight of Russow's 11 victories have come via submission (and two others via knockout).

Russow, a former state high school wrestling champion in Illinois, suffered his lone career loss at PRIDE 33, an event that took place in February 2007 in Las Vegas. There, he suffered a first-round submission loss to notable Sergei Kharitonov.
Awesome. They bought back Cro Cop, announced a HW TUF season and now Russow. I'm think Dana has finally come to realisation that his HW division is empty.
