Update - FOX Sports 1 to Air 12 UFC quot;Fight Nightsquot; on Wednesdays Starting in August

Details are now coming out regarding how UFC content will be handled once the FOX umbrella switches their sports content over to a new station, FOX Sports 1. The switch will take place in August, and Sports Illustrated reporter Richard Deitsch has been tweeting updates on the new channel.

FOX Sports 1 will air UFC "Fight Nights" on Wednesdays, with 12 of these live events airing from the launch in August throughout the rest of 2013. The cards will air from 8pm-11pm. These will most likely replace the current "UFC on FX" series.

Also, the "UFC Tonight" news show currently on FUEL will move to FOX Sports 1 and air on Wednesdays as well, from 7:30pm-8pm EST. This is a big upgrade for the show.

FOX Sports 1 will be available in roughly 90 million homes. For comparison, FX and Spike are available in about 99 million homes.
