UFC Scores with FOX
Spike TV has been the place to go for years as the UFC grew up and was a main reason for their ability to grow into what they are now. When Spike rebranded from TNT to Spike TV one of their biggest aspects to their programming was that they became the home for UFC. With fights broadcast on Spike as well as their reality show that changed the face of the UFC, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).
