UFC did vicious counter programming against the CBS shows offering on Spike fir the first time highlights of fights that had only been seen on pay per view. UFC pretty owns all the MMA fighting now so don't expect any major MMA counter programming. Also, CBS had Feodor and Gina Carano but no one else who could really put butts in front of the TV. The UFC has a couple of break out stars that could become household names, like Jon Jones. He's got a high Q rating. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
