ULTIMATE UFC WEEKEND ON ESPN
To celebrate literally the biggest sporting collision of the summer – the UFC 116 Heavyweight Title fight between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin – ESPN is giving fans the Ultimate UFC weekend. From Thursday July 1 to Sunday July 4, both ESPN and ESPN HD will broadcast some of the greatest bouts in recent Octagon history, behind the scenes insights into UFC 116, the British television premiere of a bout which was immediately dubbed the greatest fight in mixed martial arts history, as well as the big one – UFC 116 – exclusively live from Las Vegas, USA.
The action begins at 10:00pm on Thursday 1st July on ESPN and ESPN HD, with ESPN’s groundbreaking magazine show, MMA Live.
In a series of shows broadcast throughout the Ultimate UFC Weekend, “Fights of the Night” will showcase the most exciting bouts from ever UFC supershow from last year’s UFC 100 to UFC 115. Each Fight of the Night, chosen after each event by UFC President Dana White, will be screened in its entirety and the series will feature the likes of Randy Couture, Forrest Griffin, Anderson Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira.
The “Best of British” will showcase the greatest recent Octagon performances from the UK’s home talent, including Michael ‘the Count’ Bisping, Dan ‘the Outlaw’ Hardy, Ross ‘the Real Deal’ Pearson and John ‘the Hitman’ Hathaway.
And, in a special treat for British fight fans, ESPN will present a bout which has already been dubbed not only a shoo-in to be voted ‘Fight of 2010’ come December, but has already been dubbed perhaps the greatest fight of all time: the three round featherweight war between Leonard Garcia and ‘the Korean Zombie’ Jung Chan Sung. Having already earned their reputations as two of the greatest warriors in the sport, Garcia and the Korean Zombie met in Sacramento, California, on April 24 and for 15minutes put on a display of non-stop aggression and courage which left MMA fans worldwide ablaze with excitement. UFC Presents: Garcia vs Korean Zombie will be broadcast on Thursday 1st July at 12:30am and Friday 4th July at 3:00am.
Now, British fans have a chance to see this immediate classic.
That highlight of the Ultimate UFC Weekend is undoubtedly UFC 116: LESNAR v CARWIN, where 18stone 10lbs UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar collides with undefeated knockout machine Shane Carwin.
UFC UK Division President Marshall Zelaznik said: “Lesnar v Carwin is a gigantic fight, both in terms of fan excitement and in the sheer size of the two champions. We’re proud to work with our partners at ESPN to treat our fans to a unique weekend of action.
“We’re also proud to present the first-ever UK screening of the instant classic Leonard Garcia v ‘Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung. This is a simply breathtaking war and we’re very happy British fight fans are finally getting the chance to see it themselves.”
Jeroen Oerlemans, Vice-President TV Channels, ESPN EMEA said: “ESPN is delighted to be bringing the best in UFC action to UK sports fans this weekend. UFC 116 is all set to be one of the best fight cards on ESPN in recent times.”
The action begins at 10:00pm on Thursday 1st July on ESPN and ESPN HD, with MMA Live.
