Dana White says Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Brazil will air on Fuel TV

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently announced that Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort will go head-to-head as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Brazil, the promotion's popular reality television show designed to produce new and up-and-coming stars from a pool of undiscovered talent.
TUF Brazil is expected to be filmed entirely in Portuguese and air via Globo, but now stateside fans will also get the chance to watch the season in its entirety thanks to a broadcast agreement between the UFC and Fuel TV.
MMA Fighting has more.
"The UFC has so much content that even Spike, if you look at what a huge percentage of their content we used to be, we still needed more," White said. "The Ultimate Fighter Brazil will air on Fuel TV. All this unique content that we're doing in other parts of the world, Fuel TV is going to take. I've been saying for the last six months, if you're a UFC fan and you really love the UFC, it's impossible not to have Fuel."
At the conclusion of the season, Silva and Belfort will face off for Brazilian bragging rights.
Silva has been looking for revenge since the pair first met inside the cage more than a decade ago at UFC 17.5: "Ultimate Brazil." Belfort defeated Silva in just 44 seconds by way of technical knockout.
Their initial bout did little to resolve their differences.
Silva has since referred to "The Phenom" as "mentally weak" while Belfort insists "The Axe Murderer" is "just a spectator who wants to get attention for himself."
Wandy is fresh of a second-round shellacking of former Strikeforce 185-pound champion Cung Le while Belfort must still report to the UFC 142 pay-per-view event on Jan. 14 in Rio to challenge hard-hitting middleweight Anthony Johnson.
Keep it glued to MMAmania.com for more on the upcoming season of TUF Brazil in the coming weeks.

Right!
Fuel TV is only with the upper tier channel lineup with Fios. I went with the lower channel lineup to save money since I subscribe to HBO and Showtime. DAMN IT!!!!!
fuel tv is available on directv and dish network
i get it as part of my regular programming package from directv, no premium package needed. maybe you need to get rid of you POS provider

Dish nickel and dimes for it. I'm on the fence about getting it.
"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

i hate to sound like a directv employee
but they have been fantastic to me, and i have had them since 2001. i have always had great customer service and the packages are pretty good. i have never had dish so i can’t comment on them.
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
They're pretty good and probably the best value.
I have no complaints other than not getting my locals in HD without an antenna.

+1. Is fuel worth getting? @ any1 that has it
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth
I would say so
If not for anything else then for ufc content..
by dragonassault on Jan 9, 2012 3:09 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
yes, for the ufc content
not sure what else is on the channel, i had never watched it before this ufc deal
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
I am seriously worried for wandy's health in this fight
If wandy won’t retire after this fight,the ufc has gotta let him go. I’d love if he proved me wrong and put vitor to sleep,but I doubt it.
2 week sig bet with Armando Baez
ufc 142
Goldmouth- rumble Baez- Belfort
Same here. Silva's PRIDE fights got me into MMA.
Mostly dismantling Sakuraba fifteen times lol
"How much can you know about yourself, if you've never been in a fight?"
Yea. Thing is, Wand really does appear to be on juice, and a lot of his competition was suspect, throw in the whole corruption stuff, and man, Wand’s legend isn’t really up to snuff. Now Wand is def a fan favorite, but damn man, the truth hurts.
Still one of the top 10 LHWs of all time though IMO…
Wand is cool and always has been.
He brings it no matter what. Sometimes he just cant chew what hes bit off. The point is that he sure as well will give it a shot!
I like the guy but he is way past his prime nowadays.
Also, I say let them juice if they want

I want a rematch fight with Vitor , the guy who brutally wrecked me when I was still young, yet this time, Vitor is much more dangerous, and my chin is much much worse than it was back then.
Herp de derp.
Yup
Vitor will butt-rape wandy this time for sure. Hate to see it but its a comin
by dragonassault on Jan 9, 2012 11:31 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
I think both guys will make good coaches, and I think MMA in Brazil is going to get huge.
Globo is the absolute biggest company in entertainment. In Brazil, that is. It dominates the ratings like no other.
"How much can you know about yourself, if you've never been in a fight?"
Im pretty sure i have Fuel.
But no clue what channel (number) it is.
And yeah Vitor is going to wreck Wandy.
You mind your own damn business.

Who the fuck gets FUEL tv!!???
Are they not aware that like, almost nobody has this fucking station?? Or do they just not give a shit?
the live events yes.
The rest of the content, most likely including the live TUF fights, no. Fuel has exclusive rights to content and it will only be shown on Fuel from what I understand.
Vote Ron Paul 2012
It really is a fantastic channel now
It has become my go to when I don’t have a live sporting event on. Pretty much UFC all the time.
Fighters fight. Snitches Snitch.
really?
id find it hard to believe it wont be on sportsnet. They showed the first FOX broadcast as well…interesting.
Rogers has agreed to show all the live events (UFC on Fox, UFC on Fx, UFC on Fuel)
but the TUF live fights are a part of the show, and Rogers will not get rights to that content. The Canadian gov’t won’t bring Fuel to Canadian TV, so I would be suprised if you can get it on TV.
It will be readily available on the internet though, I am sure.
Vote Ron Paul 2012
Question...
Why would the Canadian government have anything to do the choice of what channels a company puts on? Honestly question no troll.
I have heard second hand
Fuel TV is in direct competition with certain Canadian broadcast companies, so it was not allowed.
Vote Ron Paul 2012
it sounds like a version of the britsh system
but without the rules and whatnot.
Fighters fight. Snitches Snitch.
everyone with Direct TV has it here in the states. Come to think of it, practically everyone I know has it.
Fighters fight. Snitches Snitch.

Yeah, it's on every cable / satellite provider just about
Only broke asses don’t have it cause it cost a couple extra bucks. HAHA
by KOaddict on Jan 9, 2012 11:54 AM EST up reply actions 1 recs
yep
all these people bitching when all it takes is one call to a satellite provider and your good to go.
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
Shit
You don’t even have to pickup the phone i most cases. Just find the channel on your remote and click that little button to order it. With it usually comes like 5-6 other channels as well, so it’s well worth the extra $5-10
these idiots just want something to bitch about
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
Pretty much
Either that or they are broke and can’t afford the channel. I just checked and it’s actually 25 additional channels that come along with it, this is with Brighhouse cable, so i’m sure it’s different depending on your provider.
yeah, it's not even a premium channel on my directv
i don’t have the highest programming package and i don’t have the sports package but i still get fuel in hd.
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
That's awesome
I plan on switching to Direct TV when the next football season rolls around so I can get the Sunday Ticket for FREE. I almost switched last week but they won’t give it to me for free since the season is about over, so i’ll just hold off until they run that promotion again. I can’t see a reason why to switch otherwise
yeah i got sunday ticket and it's great
i don’t know if you get hdnet on your current provider but you will get that too, and there is TONS of mma content on hdnet. so you will have fuel hd, fx hd, the 101(shows all weigh ins live in hd), fox hd, spike hd (bellator 2013) and hdnet. you will be covered for mma.
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
and when you are ready to sign up let me know
if you say i refereed you and give them my account number we each get $100 off our bills.
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
Except that directv is 100 times better than dish.
No other reason to switch…
by dragonassault on Jan 9, 2012 12:58 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
i've heard that from others too
i have only had directv, so no first hand experience with dish, but i have heard a lot of people say the same thing
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
We had dish
Switched last year. They were pretty bitter and rude about it to. They called me to find out why we were switching and i honestly told themwhat directv was offering and the woman started turning into a bitch. It was pathetic and funny all at the same time. Dish losers…

Poor Wandy
He is going to sleep this time too
Sig bets with umabig:
Condit beats Diaz on Feb. 4, 2 weeks
Akiyama beats Shields on Feb. 26, 2 week
That is what is commonly referred too as: pure domination.

I'm not a fan of Vitor's, but
this my 3rd favorite knockout of all time, right behind Hendo/Bisping and Hendricks/Fitch.

I Love Vitor and Wandy
But if Vitor wanted to, he could make the same thing happen again.

by johnnysmash on Jan 9, 2012 11:32 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Gonna be too many sub titles
I’ll watch the fights at the end of the show
2 week sig bet with Armando Baez
ufc 142
Goldmouth- rumble Baez- Belfort
Aren't the new episodes going to be live fights?
I would be surprised if the commentary wasn’t in English.
In brasil?
I’m talking about the elimination fight at the end of each episode.

i thought that was just for US tuf?
i also thought US tuf will be on FX, not Fuel
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
You might be right
I don’t see why they would produce the show 2 different ways though, even if it is from different countries.
yeah i just looked it up
the US version of TUF will have live fights and be on FX.

I don't know what BS backwoods cable you all have
But FUEL TV is on most providers. I have it on Brighthouse, it’s also on Direct TV, amongst many other providers.

Wandy looks old as shit in that pic
2 week sig bet with Armando Baez
ufc 142
Goldmouth- rumble Baez- Belfort
Wandy is washed up
I like him as much as the next guy, but lets be honest here. He’s lost 6 of his last 9 fights. Sure, they were good opponents, but that’s not the Silva I once knew.
I can't believe they're throwing him in against Belfort. This should be quicker than Belfort's KO of
Rich Franklin or Matt Lindland
Meah, in Canada it'll be free
We don’t have FUEL and its not even offered as far as I know, so Rogers Sportsnet will pick up all the TUF stuff and free fights that would normally be on FUEL.
