<b>Season 2 of the WCL to be Seen in Over 100 Countries</b>
DALLAS, March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The future of combat martial arts is here and will be seen on televisions around the world starting this month. A new season of Chuck Norris' World Combat League (WCL), the explosive form of standup mixed-martial arts which has garnered impressive ratings in the United States on the VERSUS network, will now be aired in over 100 countries thanks to one of the sport's most comprehensive international distribution plans.
"Chuck Norris is an international martial arts icon," said Matthew Ody, from Matthew Ody & Associates, the company, which oversees the distribution of the WCL's global television rights. "(Mr. Norris) has said, 'This is where the sport is headed.' That's tremendous worldwide credibility for a young league like the WCL. Our international partners have been quick to respond. This has been one of the most well received international rollouts of a sporting product I have ever seen."
"Our production is really top notch," said WCL President Damien DiCiolli. "We brought in some of the top talent working in television sports production to enhance our shows. The result is a quicker paced, more exciting product. If you liked Season 1, you'll be blown away by Season 2."
