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.

Indeed, a nice sign by the UFC. Dana is really looking to add some depth, to bad he missed out on Ishii.

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
Well yeah but that is 3 pretty good signs of improvement in the HW division.

Who else would be possible to lure in?

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
Good question. Alistair Overeem! He already talked to Dana at UFC 93 showing he might be ready to join the UFC. Do what it takes to bring him in.

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
I have not heard that sir.

If it's possible then do, and do it as fast as you can. That man is in his prime right now and would definitely give any UFC HW a good fight, also I don't think Brock would be too big for him because Alistair is huge himself.

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
He was talking to Dana White at UFC 93. Even on his wikipedia. 'And I agree entirely... He is taller than Brock and his weight is about the same on weigh-in night.

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
I know for sure that he's 6'5" but not too sure on his weight, think he may be 245.

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
Yeah, true... just looked at his weigh in for the Cro Cop fight and it was 241. I thought he was heavier than that. Heh...

Re: UFC signs HW Mike Russow, debut at UFC Fight Night 19
Well it actually says that he's 253, so he must have been that at some point, probably against that fat c*nt Mark Hunt... yes that rhymes.
