They already have UFC unleashed, and do they still have that Wired show on?" Exactly. The UFC already has a sweet deal with a network that caters to 18-35 yr old men that give the UFC prime slots of t.v. time. Anyone have a hot clue what the documented target audience of the UFC is? Wow, what a coincidence 18-35 yr old men. Folks, the NBC and CBS deals are crap. Plain and simple. 9 times out of 10 I would choose a UFC Unleashed rerun on Spike (that I've already seen 3 times) over another b league mma show. Cool enough, we Canadians get Bodog Fight on the Score periodically too. “I don’t really blame Dana for not getting one of those two tv deals.

i seriously doubt they even get close to breaking even on their big shows

tv may help them improve and possibly attract better fighters

tito frank shamrock would be a huge fight

matt lindland appears to be available too

so guys are out there if they can afford and are willing to pay them

its too early to consider the other promotions a serious threat to ufc… they are at the stage ufc was back when the shamrocks were their top guys

dream on the other hand could easily fill the pride void in japan and give dana a huge headache in the near future as they would be able to tempt guys back and also grab fedor and the other pride guys who are still refusing to sign for /not wanted by the ufc

There's several lower level fighters I enjoy watching and they're always doomed to the undercards. I'd love to see some up-and-comers get a weekly shot at showing us why they belong on the Pay-Per-View fights. This would give a lot more people time to shine and give the UFC more ways to promote new fighters. It would certainly be nice if the UFC had more frequent fight nights on Spike.

I'd like to see Shamrock vs Lee. If not, I'd still like to see some of the past fights I've missed. So no live events at all will be aired? I’d like to see Shamrock vs Lee.
