A new MMA organization called MMA Fight Pit has announced its debut show, entitled "Genesis," for Aug. 13 in Albuquerque, N.M. The main event will feature a light heavyweight bout between former UFC (http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc) fighters Houston Alexander (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/houston/alexander/159/) and Razak Al-Hassan (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/razak/al-hassan/489/).

In the co-main event, former WEC stars Jens Pulver (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/jens/pulver/225/) and Coty Wheeler (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/coty/wheeler/1041/) will do battle in featherweight action.

Other notable fights recently announced for the card were Junie Browning (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/junie/browning/523/) vs. Lenny Lovato and Jamie Yager (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/jamie/yager/1544/) vs. Willie Parks.
