LOS ANGELES, CA – In a first for any FOX network, FUEL TV (www.fuel.tv)
is letting its viewers choose its prime time programming
in a special Viewer’s Choice Week from September 24 – 27. Beginning
September 17, fans pick specific Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) shows they want to see over
those four nights by voting for their favorites on the FUEL TV website (www.fuel.tv/viewerschoice).
The week culminates with FUEL TV’s fifth live UFC® main card, “UFC ON FUEL TV 5: STRUVE VS MIOCIC” on Saturday, September 29 (3:00 PM ET) featuring an epic heavyweight bout between the 6-foot-11
Stefan “Skyscraper” Struve, who looks to extend his three-fight winning
streak against the undefeated
Stipe Miocic. During Fight Night on
September 29, FUEL TV airs five straight hours of live fight
programming, including a one-hour live Prefight Show (3:00 PM ET), three
hours of live fighting (4:00 PM ET), and a one-hour live Postfight
show (7:00 PM ET).
To help more fans catch their favorite UFC® programming, multiple cable distributors in
select areas are participating in a FUEL TV Free Preview week. From
September 23-29, consumers can check directly with their local provider
or
go to www.fuel.tv/getfueltv to see if they are receiving the network.
“UFC fans are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable in all sports,” says George Greenberg, Executive Vice President and General Manager, FUEL TV. "Because
of this we're putting the power to program FUEL TV in their hands for
four nights. If you are a UFC fan, this is a must see week on FUEL
TV. If viewers don’t get FUEL TV, they
