Fuel TV to offer over 100 hours of UFC coverage during free preview this week

We are a little over two months into the UFC’s seven year deal with the FOX television families and one of the biggest complaints about the deal is the fact that Fuel TV is not readily available to many fans of mixed martial arts.
Overall the channel is available to approximately 36 million homes in the United States, a far cry from the 100 million homes that received the UFC’s former partner, Spike TV.
This week Fuel TV will, at least temporarily, remedy that situation as they will offer a

Josh Koscheck vs. Johny Hendricks set for UFC on FOX 3

When two wrestlers face off inside the Octagon often times what the fans receive is the exact opposite of what they would expect.
The expectation would be that the fans would be in for a technical battle fought on the ground, a glorified NCAA match where the two fighters look to showcase who has the better skills in the discipline that led them to the upper reaches of the mixed martial arts world.

Dana White: I am beyond disappointed in Nick Diaz

UFC President Dana White returned to the United States today after spending time in Brazil filming the upcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter.” White was probably looking forward to spending some decompressing from his hectic schedule when he returned to Vegas, instead he was faced with Nick Diaz testing positive during his UFC 143 drug tests.
Shortly after the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the news that Diaz had been found to have marijuana metabolites in his sample, the UFC

NSAC: Nick Diaz tested positive for Marijuana metabolites at UFC 143

On Tuesday night it looked like we would see a rematch between the UFC 143 main event competitors Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit as UFC President Dana White tweeted that evening that Condit had agreed to face Diaz in a rematch, defending the interim UFC welterweight title he captured when he took the unanimous decision victory from Diaz at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Today any chance of an immediate rematch went up in smoke when the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the news that Diaz had
