Fuel TV Re-Brands as Fox Sports 2, Launches Alongside Fox Sports 1; Will Still Feature UFC

BAD MMA News — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 00:41:37 +0000

It’s been one of the worst kept secrets in TV land, but Fuel TV is officially going to get the re-branding treatment on Aug. 17 when parent company Fox launches Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2. The promotional focus has been almost entirely on the launch of Fox Sports 1, which itself is a re-branding of Fox’s Speed Channel. Fox Sports 2 has been getting the soft launch treatment, since it plays a supporting role to Fox Sports 1’s lead. Just as it has been under the Fuel TV brand, Fox Sports 2, however, will continue to be a bastion of UFC programming from live fights to weigh-ins to UFC Ultimate Insider and more

Demetrious Johnson only lost one day of UFC on FOX 8 training with birth of son

BAD MMA News — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:20:00 +0000

SEATTLE – UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson hardly missed a step between the birth of his first child and his fight camp for John Moraga at UFC on FOX 8. Johnson (17-2-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) he missed but one day of training to be with wife Destiny as she gave birth to his son Tyren after 14 hours in labor. So for those who think his focus might be off for his second attempted title defense, they can think again. “I didn’t have to miss one OBGYN appointment, and people were like, ‘Oh, you’re distracted,’” Johnson said. “I’m like, ‘Last time I checked, this is life, and fighting is part of my life, and so is my wife.’” Of course, it was an entirely new experience in his life, which wasn’t exactly what he expected at times. “The labor was a little more intense than I thought it was,” said Johnson, who headlines the FOX-televised card against Moraga (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) on Saturday at Seattle’s KeyArena, which is a short drive from his home in Kirkland.

BAD MMA News — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 05:00:00 +0000

An injury has knocked a heavyweight bout off the UFC’s return to Indianapolis, and a pair of lightweights will fill the gap on the card. Derrick Lewis (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been forced out of his scheduled fight against Nandor Guelmino (11-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC on FOX Sports 1 2. Both fighters would have been making their UFC debuts. Instead, Guelmino will be shifted to UFC 165 in Toronto and lightweights Roger Bowling (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Abel Trujillo (10-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will meet in Indy. UFC officials announced the change and new booking on Monday night.
