Congratulations are in order for Jon Anik, Kenny Florian, Franklin McNeil, and the countless others at ESPN who played a significant role in the development and production of MMA Live over the last couple years.
But most of all, congratulations are in order for you, the fans, for making the show as popular as it is today. ESPN has granted MMA Live a three-month extension on ESPN 2 until August due to the loyal viewers, like yourself, that have supported the mixed martial arts news show from jump street.
When MMAmania.com first announced that MMA Live would be making the move from ESPN.com to ESPN 2 back in March, it was also announced that the show would in fact be on a trial run of sorts during the month of May as the "suits" over at the Worldwide Leader sat back and surveyed just how popular the show would become.
Well, it's popular alright.
According to MMA Payout, MMA Live averaged 130,000 viewers per show during May, a number that is higher than what the network previously drew during the 1 a.m. ET, 10 p.m. PT time slot.
So, job well done fight fans. With your dedication to the sport and more specifically your support of MMA Live, our beloved sport of mixed martial arts will continue to have a presence on ESPN 2 for the foreseeable future.
Keep it up, Maniacs.

I prefer the
actual “live” format they have before and after the PPV’s.

Is Florian still a host of this show?
"They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference."
well fuck I guess I should at least read the first sentence of the blog entry instead of just the title.

yes
tell me about it!! Im also from britain and the guy has no clue!! He admitted this ion his online column like 2 years ago, now because he is one of a few writers on the ufc in the uk he speaks like he knows it all!!!!
Everything he talks about is stuff he has read up on as he knew nothing of the ufc until he started writing about, and as for mma as a whole the guy is clueless.
Why oh why to people like this end up getting these jobs??? Its a joke
lol
I was writing so fast with annoyance and anger I made a few mistakes, sorry guys
MMA LIVE
I got the show programed to DVR. So I do not miss an episode. Great news. I expect it to be around for the long haul on ESPN.
Sweet
Good to see ESPN is catching on to the MMA world. Good that the fans are responding.
