Im hoping something like this will bring more MMA exposure to the UK. A lot of UK fans think that MMA=UFC and UFC=MMA. UFC is the only org to get any really good exposure over here and so the vast majority of fans dont know anything about the other shows, inc. Pride. Im guessing the IFL will sort out some British broadcasting for that particular season which will hopefully educate a lot of the British fans about the sport as a whole.
