Latest word from
MMA Fightline says the long rumored deal between the UFC and CBS has hit a snag. Much like what happened with HBO, the UFC has supposedly refused to give up creative control of their broadcasts. Interesting tidbit, the UFC went to NBC to gauge interest, but "NBC showed little interest in working with the UFC and Dana White in particular."
On the other hand, Strikeforce may be in the mix with NBC to get a late-night programming slot in the future. "NBC is said to be continuing talks with the IFL, Strikeforce, M-1 and K-1 for late night programing, with Strikeforce possibly already securing a deal with the network giant."
