Vs. rebranding has started.

UFC on Vs. will soon be obsolete. Within the next few weeks, Vs will be rebranded under NBC Sports. UFC on NBC makes the most sense. Little things can matter down the line like that.

Been talking about the strong position the UFC is in with pitting NBC brand vs CBS brand.

the thing with versus tho, only about 60mil homes get it in ze USA

thats 30 mil less than SPIKE!

But having a "UFC on NBC" program is the first step in getting on NBC.

I don't know why people think the UFC couldn't be on more than one network at the same time. Does CBS not play NFL games because NBC and ABC do?

The NFL is such a huge money machine competing networks are cool with them being on multiple stations. Not saying the UFC can't become that, but for now I see they teaming up with a single network brand. They're in such a strong position, Showtime/CBS or Vs/NBC, prelims aired on the one while the main card on the other, big events on one vs smaller events on the other, so much they could do here.

Maybe the TV situation will facilitate Strikeforce sticking around.

I'm a little woried about SF, I'm personally cool either way, but if they plan to keep it talent needs to start flowing over there.

Agreed, either that or they can use it for new prospects ala the WEC LW division for two years. I personally think they should send talent the other way, run both promotions separately and co promote once a year super fights when the fan call is there.

Sounds about right
