Jon Anik confirmed to Bloody Elbow this afternoon that MMA Live will be live at UFC 94. It’s safe to say that this show will get a lot of ESPN coverage the week of the fight, which is a very big deal for the sport.
In the past, only Chuck Liddell, Brock Lesnar, and Kimbo Slice have received major ESPN coverage for their fights. As a result, many questioned whether ESPN was interested in the sport or just interested in big names. The fact that they are going to give big coverage to BJ Penn vs. Georges St. Pierre is a very big deal.
