Fuel TV mma content grades.

So far, A.

good so far. Was about to go buy urc knockouts last weekend but didnt have to since fuel showed it so saved me money. Only complaint i have is that dishnetwork doeant carry fuel in hd so i will for sure miss that about spike.

Agreed, only complaint so far is no HD

Loving the content though. Watched UFC 79, the Tito-Chuck doc, Ultimate KO's, etc the other day and taped Pride today

UFC Tonight looks like it will be a solid program that I bet they expand to a couple days per week. Fuel's lineup is so shitty that I bet this pretty much becomes a de facto UFC channel especially in primetime

My provider doesn't even carry Fuel yet, but I'm hoping that changes soon.

The champions round table was cool. Finally some UFC content as good as HDnets best series.

Yeah this was good too. Is that supposed to be a regular thing?

Yeah it's very nice.

I give it a BIG F.


Only because my shitty cable company doesn't carry it.

The extreme sports shit is way cooler than most of the crap on Spike anyway. Loving the Fox Deal

Still haven't made the commitment to adding FUEL TV to your cable lineup?

DirecTV subscribers now have an opportunity to preview the channel free of charge from now through April 30.

FUEL TV is one of 45 channels featured in DirecTV's special CHOICE XTRA Free Trial, and the channel is responding with "Domination Week," which includes a 48-hour UFC marathon this weekend.

"UFC followers are some of the most passionate and loyal sports fans around," FUEL TV exec George Greenberg stated. "The DirecTV CHOICE XTRA Free Trial enables more UFC enthusias'ts to watch the sport they love, with new shows like 'UFC Tonight' and 'UFC Ultimate Insider' and the biggest lineup of past fights ever, all in one week.

"The message is clear: If you love UFC, you need FUEL TV."

In addition to episodes of "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" and "UFC Unleashed," FUEL TV also offers replays of "UFC 68: The Uprising," "UFC 79: Nemesis," "UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami," "UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage," "UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III," "UFC 137: Penn vs. Diaz," "UFC 139: Shogun vs. Henderson," "UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida" and "UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Silva" during the 48-hour weekend marathon.

For a complete listing of FUEL TV's programing during the free preview, visit www.fuel.tv/schedule.

The UFC recently moved much of its live-event programming from Spike TV to FX and FUEL TV thanks to its seven-year deal with FOX. Although currently cable TV's lowest-rated cable station (in which ratings information is available), FUEL TV has increased from approximately 30 million homes to 36 million in the past few months due in large part to the new UFC programming, which has set ratings records for the sports-oriented station.

FUEL TV's current 2012 plans call for more than 2,000 hours of UFC programming, including 100 hours of live fights.

I am giving it a B. They show a lot of stuff over and over and I expected a little more original content. But I am being selfish, I know. The deal is still getting itself into gear, and so I expect by the beginning of next year it will be filled with a lot more original shows.

That speaks volumes about how crappy Fuel was before the UFC came to town.

I can honestly say I never regularly tuned into Fuel before the UFC/Fox deal and I bet 95% of everyone else on here will say the same. When I say crappy I don't mean production value. I mean overall entertainment and interesting shows.

It's a niche channel. You like riding dirt bikes, snowboarding, surfing, shit like that then it's for you.

If DIY all the sudden got UFC material their numbers would get a spike
from that new audience as well, but that doesn't mean remodeling and
design shows are somehow crap because of it.

Does it annoy the shit out of anyone else how they edit in commentary for UFC Reloaded? Goldberg says stuff that he never said during the actual broadcasts and they cut out some stuff from Joe
