MMA Live to be broadcasted on ESPN

MMA Live is a well put together show that is currently on ESPN.com every Thursday evening at 6pm nationally. The webcast is doing so well that the network is in talks to air the show on the famed sports channel.

UFC lightweight contender and MMA Live co - host Kenny Florian was a guest Monday night on TAGG Radio which is a partner of MMAjunkie.com and they asked him about the possibility of the show being aired on network TV and here is what he had to say, "I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but soon," Florian said. "The next couple of months, we're hoping to get [MMA Live] on ESPN or ESPN 2, and the sponsors are getting on board as we speak, so we should have a deal very, very soon. We're all very pumped."

I for one hope this show goes on the air nationwide on ESPN. Not only would it be a great move, but it would help keep the sport of mixed martial arts in the mainstream. MMA Live is also co - hosted by Jon Anik and MMA/Boxing analyst Franklin McNeil.
