ESPN's wildly successful Web show "MMA Live" is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
MMAmania.com has learned that host Jon Anik, along with analysts Franklin McNeil and Kenny Florian, will soon bring their mixed martial arts news, highlights and analysis to the world's biggest sports network on ESPN2.
No precise details are known at this time, but the half-hour show is expected to air on Thursday afternoons -- new episodes are typically made available online on a weekly basis at this time.
An official announcement is expected to come from the network shortly.

ABOUT TIME!!
I wonder what took so long?? There are like 20 MLB/NFL Live shows a day on ESPN.. MMA Live should be on ESPN and ESPN2 @ least once a week.
This question should be green
I love football probably as much as mma because im on nfl boards too and I dont know what the hell the people at ESPN are doing not putting MMA Live on TV if not even maybe twice a week. There is nothing knew to know in football with DirecTV’s
football coverage on ESPN. Ridiculous it took this long im appreciative but still not even satisfied with how slow ESPN is with MMA.
Dope!
I love watching it, not only good for me but good for the sport as a whole.

Cool.
Good show. Deserved air time. Would be nice to graduate again to ESPN.
On a side note, will not air in Canada. It’s not a priority.
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses of my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

Very nice
Anik is good, I am one of the only people who doesn’t mind Franklin. Good show, good for the sport, glad to see it getting some recognition
omg i have the mother fuckin chills!!!!!!
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss finally this is huge !!!!!!!!!! mma is going to take off now bigger than ever because of this. yessssssssssssssssssssss
i am wondering the ufc is close to a deal with them or abc
makes sence if they get a network deal with ABC, that they might help promote it on espn.
it says it is a half hr show but in fact it is 40 minutes , so i am guessing it might be an hr show including commericals? Can anyone from the uk answer if it is 30 minutes or 1 hr long there ?
It's 45 minutes
In the UK.
this is great news for MMA.
Awesome news
This is a great show and it’s about time that it got broadcast on ESPN in the US.
"Not a lot of professional sports down here (in Australia)"
"We just had our best season (of TUF) last season and it was season 10"
"Nogueira is probabaly the best HW of all time"
Dana White, proving that he's clueless about Australian sports, has never heard of Fedor and is still trying to hype up TUF 10.
NICE!
I don’t know why, but I can see myself watching more than I do now if it’s on TV. Don’t ask me why.
