FRIDAY night the UFC returns to basic cable television on the FX network with a free show from Australia. Kicking off at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific), the UFC on FX 2 show is debuting a new weight class-Flyweight (125 LB)-with a four-man tournament. The main event has some familiar UFC veterans, Martin Kampmann and Thiago Alves, banging it out.
Note: If you get FUEL TV on your cable package, check out the UFC undercard starting at 6 PM Eastern (3 PM Pacific). For my fellow DirecTV subscribers, that's channel 618..
If you are a new fan to the sport of mixed martial arts, Friday's UFC show will be a great time to get acclimated to "the fastest growing sport in the world." Like every sport, watching the action is even more enjoyable with some fantasy stakes on the line.
