HeavyMMA.com is proud to announce that we have partnered with the UFC to launch Fight Day Live, a new 90-minute pre-fight show that will debut this Saturday prior to UFC 126 at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT.
Fight Day Live will serve as the mixed martial arts version of ESPN’s College Gameday show. Before every major North American event, we’ll be coming to you live on location from the fights. Fight Day is hosted by industry stalwart Dave Farra and HeavyMMA’s own Megan Olivi. Dave and Megan will bring you the latest news, fight breakdowns, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes looks at some of your favorite UFC fighters.
For the first episode, Dave and Megan will be joined by The Huntington Beach Bad Boy Tito Ortiz and The California Kid Urijah Faber. They’ll also be joined by an expert panel to break down all the UFC 126 fights: Ariel Helwani from MMAFighting.com and Seth Kelly, the editor of UFC Magazine. In addition, you’ll see Vitor Belfort as he trains for his main event championship bout against Anderson Silva, and Mike Pyle will show you the places you absolutely have to visit when you travel to Las Vegas.
The show will be available here on HeavyMMA.com as well as FoxSports.com, BleacherReport.com, MixedMartialArts.com, LiveStream.com, TheChive.com, Bullz-Eye.com and GlobalGrind.com. MixedMartialArts.com will serve as the mobile provider for the show, and users of The Underground iPhone app will be able to watch the show live on their iPhones.
We’ve been working for months towards this day, and Saturday is going to be a cool event. The Fight Day set will be located directly by the Mandalay Bay arena entrance, and fans will have the opportunity to win cool prizes and interact with the show. If you’re in Las Vegas and are planning to attend the event, come see us at the Fight Day set. We’d love to hang out with you.
