The broadcast team will consist of Mauro Ranallo and UFC heavyweight Josh Barnett and will be taped in December. We have not heard a start date for the series.

The bad news? No new content, and it's on a channel that a lot of people don't even get.

The good news? Since all they've got to do is edit footage with some English commentary, it's dirt-cheap for them to produce, so it's likely that we'll get more coming after that. Plus, it's NJPW in America that I don't have to pirate, so hey.
