Countdown To UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit Live Discussion

Photo

The Countdown to UFC 143 show will be debuting tonight on Fuel at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, and Bloody Elbow is the place to talk about it. It might be a tad underwhelming compared to your regular Countdown special due to the fact that the UFC has produced a Primetime series about the main event already, but that just gives them more time to focus on Fabricio Werdum vs. Roy Nelson and Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce.

For those that are wondering, the final Primetime episode will air on Friday night, and we'll do a live discussion for that too. Why? We're cool like that.

I caught the end of it.

It got me more hyped for the Nelson v Werdum fight… What’d you think, Nate?

i don't see much point in running the countdown on Fuel

might as well do time buys on networks people watch. Fuel is a great place to put low cost content they were generating anyway— weigh ins, prelims, international shows — but serves no purpose as a place to air a 30 minute ad for a ppv. not having the countdowns on spike will cost them a lot of buys. too bad they couldn’t get FX to air the countdowns. Fox is too savvy for that.

How many people watched the countdown shows on Spike vs those on Fuel? Do we have these numbers anywhere?

by Shnak on Feb 1, 2012 8:40 AM EST up reply actions  

dude it's murderous

The Countdowns on Spike TV usually did 500K viewers (and sometimes much more). The first Countdown on Fuel TV did 15K. I’m not shitting you.

Ouch! 15k?

I see the UFC buying a few commercials on other channels to advertise their PPV’s… talking about that, I did see a commercial for their PPV while watching something last night, can’t remember what show or what channel though… I thought it was interesting as I couldn’t remember the last time I had seen a commercial for one of their PPV’s on a non-sports channel.

One of the biggest problems in the whole fox deal

Is committing to put a lot of content on Fuel TV when it’s not in very many homes/campuses. I’m sure the college demographic is a top demographic for the UFC and I dunno how many Universities are paying to have Fuel Tv as apart of their campus cable package. I know my University isn’t. But we sure do have Fox and FX. Anybody else think that UFC loses viewers now that they have you switching to multiple channels for fights(casual fans, not hardcores)?

by milliondollardreams on Feb 1, 2012 2:29 AM EST reply actions  

for weigh ins and prelim fights

that they were putting on Facebook it doesn’t matter. Its just the stuff that used to go on Spike and has been moved to Fuel that hurts. Although I think Fuel TV is a great place for International UFCs.

FUEL is a joke. I’ll say it again, it was the “quid pro quo” part of the FOX deal for Zuffa.

I would have a horseshoe surgically implanted in my ass just so Brock would pull it out and beat me over the head with it while I pleasure myself.
