“@UFCONFOX: #BREAKING:@sonnench and @ShogunRuawill main event the first@FoxSports1 fight night on August 17th!”
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter
Six hours of UFC action on the debut of Fox Sports 1. Michael McDonald vs. Brad Pickett added.
Barring any injuries (knock on wood), this is shaping up to be a really entertaining card.
UFC renamed all the Fox Sports 1 cards (smart move) to UFC Fight Night 26: Shogun vs. Sonnen.....and so on, better than UFC on Fox Sports 1 - 1,2,3,4 etc.
From top to bottom the best card of the year !!!
I mean absolutely awesome
- Mauricio Rua vs. Chael Sonnen - Rua looked fat and slow in his last debacle. I hate Chael as much as the next guy, but I need to go 5-0 on this one.
- Travis Browne vs. Alistair Overeem - that fat ing head cheater.
- Yuri Alcantara vs. Urijah Faber - Team Alpha Gayle, but like I said, I need a clean sweep.
- Matt Brown vs. Mike Pyle - Every time I see him fight, I think he's going to lose. He never seems to.
- Michael "The Menace" Johnson vs. Joe Lauzon - Relegated to the scraps? Lauzon better beat this head into an oblivion.

•Mauricio Rua vs. Chael Sonnen
Travis Browne vs. Alistair Overeem
•Iuri Alcantara vs. Urijah Faber
Matt Brown vs. Mike Pyle
•Uriah Hall vs. John Howard
Reem better win or he may be on his way to the undercard.
Sonnen will probably grind this one out..
I don't get this channel.. As of now they have no deal with DirecTV and even when they make a deal I don't know if it will be available on my package..
^ crap I thought Dish Network was a go for this, but apparently not....

Dana just tweeted that Fox Sports 1 just inked deals with Dish, DirectTV, and TimeWarner. Looks like everybody's covered.
Fox Sports 1 is taking over the Speed channel for me (I have Comcast). So my guess would be if you have the Speed channel you'll be getting FS1.
Shogun Rua v. Chael "The American Gangster" Sonnen - Seriously, I just love Sonnen. I know that he rubs a lot of folks the wrong way, but he is the most entertaining personality in the UFC.
Alistair Overeem v. Travis Browne - I am not an Overeem fan by any stretch of the imagination, but Browne just isn't very talented. I think that that Overeem might have learned his lesson against Silva, but we'll see.
Urijah Faber v. Iuri Alcantara - It'd be stupid not to pick Faber - he beats everyone but the guy with the belt.
Uriah Hall v. John Howard - yeah...
Conor McGregor v. Max Holloway - NOTORIOUS!!! KO in the fist round - book it. I love this guy.
Going to be hard to compete with ESPN when you aren't even on the same programming tier. ESPN comes on the basic package with Dish and Speed channel does not. I'm not changing my package to add it either.
MAIN CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET)
Sorry Shogun but Chael is my man. I would pick you as I think you are the favorite but Chael is Chael.
Btw. Sonnens chance is to grind this out, but I hope he can finish the fight. Rua though can make a good plan for punching Sonnen as he comes in. We will see.
Tough one to call esp when you do not know what to expect from Reem. If Browne can stick and move I also can think of making reem tired and win the decision. But I can see Alistar cut the cage and land some big shots. Travis has the speed advantage though ...
If Urijah will not be dead serious in this fight he is gonna pay a big price
- Matt Brown vs. Mike Pyle
Coin toss - I'm not picking
Hmm I'm picking Howard even though he is in big reach disadvantage. IMO he can outwork hall.
Joe is my man and top guy while Johnson still somewhere behind the top tier
PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 6 p.m. ET)
- Michael McDonald vs. Brad Pickett -> bang bang
- Max Holloway vs. Conor McGregor -> I'd like to see if Conor can dominate tough kid in Max
- Mike Brown vs. Steven Siler -> I wonder if Brown is healthy enough to get back
I have to stream this one because my TV is down ing DirecTV won't be out till tomorrow to fix it..
