On Wednesdays, Sportsnet 360 in a press release said four hours of UFC coverage is planned. “UFC Central,” “UFC Wired” and “UFC Unleashed” are programs set for that night, as well as “The Ultimate Fighter.” Expected in early 2014 is the latest international edition of the reality competition, which will pit Canadian fighters against Australian fighters.
