Dana White: The Ultimate Fighter Brazil Will Air on Fuel TV

Dana White was on ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas and dropped some very interesting news about programming. The Ultimate Fighter Brazil is set to air on Fuel TV according to the UFC president.
"The UFC has so much content that even Spike, if you look at what a huge percentage of their content we used to be, we still needed more," White said. "The Ultimate Fighter Brazil will air on Fuel TV. All this unique content that we're doing in other parts of the world, Fuel TV is going to take. I've been saying for the last six months, if you're a UFC fan and you really love the UFC, it's impossible not to have Fuel."
It will be interesting to watch the show and see how much they stick to the formula of the American broadcast for the international seasons or if each will have its own distinct flavor.
The season is set to be coached by Brazilian MMA stars Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva.

FUCKING COMCAST

I hate Comcast
In real life everything I utter is original and poignant.

It's hard to hate on Comcast here when taking some business considerations into account.
They own NBC/Universal, and have rebranded Versus as “NBC Sports.” FOX is trying to push FUEL as a sports channel. Why would Comcast make an effort to help grow a fledgling FOX owned property that could directly compete with NBC Sports? I wouldn’t. It sucks for MMA fans, but the only way I see Comcast adding FUEL is if A LOT of people cancel their accounts and cite that as the reason. I doubt it (have any of you gone this far?).
Well maybe the content company shouldn't own the content delivery company
and if it does, it shouldn’t abuse it’s position since cable is a government protected monopoly in many areas

You do realize they can't interfere with competitive programming, right?
They will be in deep shit if they do.

1. Comcast doesn’t offer FUEL.
2. There is a reason why.
3. They will not publicly state the reason, so we’re left with conjecture.
4. Come up with a better reason than I did.
Yes, they do
It’s on a paid tier because, until now, it’s been a shit station. Seriously dude?

No they don't.
Hence all the Comcast users complaining, starting petitions, etc. It’s a paid tier on some cable outlets, like SureWest. Comcast only has “FUEL ON DEMAND”, which is awful.
On this very thread you see people complaining about how Comcast doesn’t carry FUEL. Hell, people are complaining on EVERY thread that has to do with content on FUEL.
Also, not offering FUEL on their own service platform isn’t “interfering with competitive programming,” there are plenty of platforms that FUEL can negotiate contracts with. They’re not obligated to offer it. It would be one thing if they stated outright that they are snubbing FUEL in favor of NBC Sports, but they’re staying mum. There are plenty of channels out there that are service-specific.
Not true
Comcast has a monopoly in many areas. Customers can’t jump ship to a competitor if one doesn’t exist.
I think it’s still too early to say that this has anything to do with NBC Sports. There really hasn’t been a legitimate demand for Fuel until last week.
i have comcast and i get fuel

Verizon only has Fuel in Standard Def, and UFC Tonight was shown as a small rectangular window, pretending to be HD. The nerve!

I was just going to say the same
I’m guessing the fights won’t be live like the cruz/faber season so it’s going to be pretty easy to stay away from the results of the fights until you watched the episode.
that’s how I always watch TUF since we don’t get it where I live (well, we do but the episodes and seasons are all fucked up, shown late at night at random hours, no one can keep track).
Now I've switched signature to this one.

I hope we get to see this in the UK, too. I think Vitor and Wandy will make awesome coaches.

I would love Munoz to get a shot at coaching at TUF
I dont know if Wandy can fight cautiously against a fighter who does his blitz asap.
they are going to fight arent they?
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
I was wondering if they were going to fight afterwards as well. When I think about it I just keep replaying their fight in Pride where Vitor mows him down in highlight reel fashion. I kinda hope they don’t.
Oh no you didn't.--Nick Ring
