Tonight CNBC will present a special on the UFC they are calling Ultimate Fighting: From Blood Sport to Big Time. I can already see where this one is going.

Here is the teaser for the show:

A behind the scenes look at the business behind one of the fastest growing sports: Ultimate Fighting! Once described as barbaric, human cockfighting…today mixed martial arts (a combination of combat sports like judo, wrestling and boxing) is one of the fastest growing entertainment attractions in the United States. With big-bucks television deals and product endorsements, mixed martial arts now generates as much money as blue-chip professional sports.

I wonder if it pissed off Dana White that CNBC used and image of Randy Couture on their ad for the show.

If you’re on the east coast, you’re kinda screwed because the show won’t air until 1am. West coast it will be broadcast at 10pm.
