MMARated.com has learned of some new participants involved in the inaugural Adrenaline MMA show. The event takes place June 14 at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, IL.

Already known was a matchup between Jeff Monson and Mike Russo but agent/promoter Monte Cox has informed MMARated.com that EliteXC fighter, Aaron Rosa, will be fighting on the card as well as IFL fighter, Bart Palaszewski. The Illinois-native Palaszewski will be facing former UFC fighter, Jeff Cox.

Both men are in desperate need of a victory as Rosa has lost his last two fights while Palaszewski is on a three-fight losing streak.

Also, former UFC fighter Terry Martin will face Daiju Takase in a middleweight battle. Takase is one of the few men to defeat current UFC middleweight champ, Anderson Silva.

Expect more fights to be announced in the coming weeks.
