I would rather UFC fights on ESPN than HBO. MMA is still developing and ESPN would be the best outlet to help build a larger audience.

I would love to see them stay on Spike for the most part and have some little deal with ESPN. That would be great.

Yeah, use them more as a channel to put you where the action is. And give them a little taste. |

A deal with ESPN would be huge. I hope it happens. I would much rather see UFC on ESPN that HBO.

I agree w/ this and to keep HBO out of the picture; these 2 channels are best for UFC. When a sport makes it to ESPN that means it has officially arrived, this would be a big move for the UFC and MMA in general. |

ESPN would be great because then we could see it in HD. Spike has dropped the ball by not stepping up to HD.
