Report: ESPN talking to the UFC

Subject: Report: ESPN talking to the UFC Sun 22 Jul 2007, 12:04 pm

Monday’s print edition of Multichannel News will report that ESPN is talking to the UFC about the possibility of carrying UFC-related programming in the future. According to the web site, the report also acknowledges the UFC’s previously reported renewal with Spike TV.

When I spoke to UFC president Dana White in an interview conducted in the spring for CBS Sportsline, he said that the promotion’s existing deal with Spike did not prevent them from airing the UFC on other networks. If the report from Multichannel News is correct, one would have to assume that the new deal with Spike is somewhat non-exclusive as well.

Yeah it will be cool to turn on ESPN late at night and start seeing MMA instead of the same old K1 Kickboxing shows I have seen 20 fucking times!
