Dana White promises a TV deal in 2010

Also from the DAM Morning Show interview with UFC president Dana White he talked about bringing the UFC to network primetime, something he guarantees for next year:

“I’ll put on one [show] a quarter. One that should have been on pay-per-view, except we’ll put it on network TV. I think you have to give back to the fans and you have to give back free fights. So we do a ton of free fights on Spike TV between Ultimate Fight Nights and some of the big out of the blue fights that we put on Spike and now we’ll get a network deal and we’re doing four big fights a year that should have been on pay per view but you get for free. That’s how I became I big boxing fan. My uncles used to watch all the fights on ABC’s Wide World of Sports and I used to watch it with them and I became a huge fight fan, and that’s my model. That’s what I’m going to build now here today.”
