MMA Live makes its debut on ESPN2! Strikeforce C.E.O. Scott Coker talks Fedor, Forrest Griffin explains why he’s a no-go for UFC 114, and Roy Nelson also checks in. Plus, Sport Science collides with MMA and details on MMA Live’s upcoming remote coverage from UFC 113 in Montreal.
Jon Anik, Franklin McNeil, and Kenny Florian do a great job on their first show on network television. They have been promised seven shows in May and depending on the ratings, they may or may not continue on ESPN2. It’s a big step for MMA to get a weekly news show on national television. The only downside is their time slot.
MMA Live will have a UFC 113 pre-show at 8pm on Saturday and then a post-show at 12am on ESPN2. MMA fans can support the show by tuning in each Thursday night at 12am and this Saturday for the UFC 113 pre and post-shows.
Really love the info you provide, I’m trainer,Matchmaker,manager, and promoter MMA it my life. I have a question, people love my fights they are perfectly matched and well organized, but I need advice on getting Sponsorships for my fighters and my fights. I spare no expense to put on a good show from the fighters to the light show, if I had more sponsors I could really take my company and fighters to the next level. Im trying to get ESPN to air my fights as well but running into road blocks. What ever connections and info you could give me I would greatly appreicate it! Thanks, John Williams
