Deerfield Beach, Fla. – Authentic Sports Management® (ASM®) today proudly announced that Kenny “Ken-Flo” Florian will serve as a host of “UFC® Tonight,” a weekly news show that debuts in January on Fuel TV as part of the seven-year broadcasting deal with FOX networks. The show will become a primary source of news and information for Fuel TV viewers and fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization.
At UFC 137 we didn’t do too badly. I had 3 wins 2 losses. I’d say that is pretty respectable. I skipped UFC 138. It was too quick of a turn around and I wanted to save my liver for UFC’s first foray on FOX. Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos for the UFC Heavyweight Title on free television! Doesn’t get any better than that. Maybe if they showed the entire main card on TV that would be better. Not sure what the UFC was thinking.
It all began with UFC 129 in April of this year. The UFC decided to let fans enjoy every fight on the card even if they weren't live at the event via their Facebook page.
Dana White explained to El Octagono that in January of 2012 that agreement will come to an end.
It is looking like the fans will finally get the wish of seeing the UFC on broadcast television.
According to reports from the Sports Business Journal, the UFC and Fox have agreed to a multi-year deal that would include up to four events a year on Fox networks, which includes Fight Nights and The Ultimate Fighter on FX. The deal is reportedly worth $90 million a year and the deal is up to seven or eight years.
