Hopefully he'll actually show up this time to fight.....still can't believe the way he fought during the TUF season's finale.

I think Fox Sports 1 was stilling negotiating with Dish, DirecTV, and Time Warner.

The channel should stay the same as your old Speed channel

Some quotes:

UFC ‏@ufc 19m

Conor: "There's two things I like to do - whoop a$$ and look good." Doing one today, one Saturday http://www.ufc.com/media/shogun-sonnen-pre-fight-pc … #UFCFightNight

UFC ‏@ufc 17m

Q: Why should fans watch on Saturday? Chael: "Well, because the fight is on Saturday. If you try to watch on Friday, you'll be a doofus."
