After publicly stating that a rumored fight with Edwin Dewees (34-10) was anything but official, former UFC and PRIDE fighter Frank Trigg (15-6) now says he’s signed a contract with HDNet Fights so the bout can take place.

Earlier today on his TAGG Radio program, Trigg dispelled rumors about the Dec. 15 fight, saying he wasn’t negotiating with the Mark Cuban-owned HDNet Fights organization anymore than he was any other organization.

However, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) spoke to a representative from Trigg’s camp this evening who said the former Icon middleweight champion and PRIDE color commentator spent the afternoon finalizing a contract for the fight.

Additionally, Ken Pavia, who represents Dewees, also told MMAjunkie.com this afternoon that his fighter has signed on for the bout.
