D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC 198 “Werdum vs. Miocic”

May 12, 2016

We almost made it to the card without any major injuries… and then Anderson Silva has to have his gallbladder act up. Bummer. Then again, I don’t know why I’m lamenting that on a preview […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC Fight Night 87 “Overeem vs. Arlovski”

May 5, 2016

These preliminary card fights might be a bit difficult for some of us to view. It has nothing to do with accessibility to the channel or how pleasing the fights themselves will be. No, it […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC 197 “Jones vs. Saint Preux”

April 21, 2016

While we’ve all been rocked by the saga of Conor McGregor this week, we should all remember that there is a pay-per-view this weekend in UFC 197, featuring the greatest mixed martial artist we’ve ever […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC Fight Night 85 “Mir vs. Hunt”

March 18, 2016

For the most part, this weekend’s UFC Fight Night 85 card has been forgotten. Neither Frank Mir nor Mark Hunt appear likely to be in the title hunt again. Neil Magny’s calculating style isn’t much […]

UFC 196 “McGregor vs. Diaz” prelims draw 1.843 million viewers to Fox Sports 1

March 8, 2016

The two-hour preliminary card for Saturday’s UFC 196 broadcast on Fox Sports 1 drew quite well, with Sports TV Ratings reporting that 1.843 million average viewers tuned in prior to the pay-per-view main card. That […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC 196 “McGregor vs. Diaz”

March 3, 2016

For all the excitement there is behind Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz at UFC 196, it’s easy to forget that Holly Holm and Miesha Tate will be fighting for the title. So if that fight […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC Fight Night 81 “Dillashaw vs. Cruz”

January 15, 2016

Usually when a card is hit hard by injuries (or circumstance) in the week leading up to an event, it almost inevitably is one of the better fights on the card that falls victim to […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC 195 “Lawler vs. Condit”

January 1, 2016

After a week’s absence due to the Christmas season, the UFC makes a violent return this weekend as Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit collide in what promises to be a fan-friendly affair. The co-main event […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC on Fox 17 “Dos Anjos vs. Cerrone II”

December 17, 2015

Are you ready for some more fights? You damn well better be, since they are coming whether you like it or not after a whirlwind three days last weekend, the likes of which may never […]

UFC 194 prelims, topped by Urijah Faber’s latest win, score 2015 best 1.93 million viewers on Fox Sports 1

December 15, 2015

The preliminary card broadcast for Saturday’s UFC 194 event drew the highest prelim rating of the year for the UFC, and is among the highest ratings for any UFC broadcast on Fox Sports 1. According […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC 194 “Aldo vs. McGregor”

December 12, 2015

Here we are. The event we’ve all been waiting for. We’ve seen Rose Namajunas remind us of her immense potential. We witnessed Tony Ferguson stake his claim to challenge for lightweight gold. We beheld Frankie […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale “Edgar vs. Mendes”

December 11, 2015

Anyone else get a kick out of the fights on Fight Pass last night? I sure as hell did! The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale card actually offers less quality when you eliminate the main event […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC Fight Night 79 “Henderson vs. Masvidal”

November 26, 2015

What am I supposed to say about these prelims for UFC Fight Night 79? There are guys that could headline cards… if this were a Titan FC or Legacy FC event. There isn’t much to […]

UFC 193 prelims draw second-highest FS1 prelims rating of 2015 with 1.394 million viewers

November 17, 2015

Saturday’s UFC 193 prelims on Fox Sports 1 drew the second-highest prelim audience of 2015, as Jason Floyd of TheMMAReport.com reported on Tuesday that the two-hour broadcast drew 1.394 million viewers to FS1. That places […]

D. FOX: Preliminary card preview for UFC 193 “Rousey vs. Holm”

November 13, 2015

Yes, this is a pay-per-view with two title fights, but the depth drops off substantially after the main card. How bad does it drop? It could be said that all of the preliminary bouts are […]
