UFC Ultimate Insider is a weekly American sports television magazine show that profiles the MMA athletes and fights from the Ultimate Fighting Championship in a behind-the-scenes format, giving the viewer "unprecedented access" to the sport. [1]

Contents

The 30-minute show debuts every week on FOX Sports 1 on Sundays at 5:30PM PST and 8:30PM ET. [2] Prior to 2014, the show used to air on FUEL TV on Tuesdays at 10:30PM ET and 7:30PM PST. Re-airs can be watched throughout the week on FSN, MSG+ and Root Sports Networks. International viewers can watch a streaming version of the show through the UFC and YouTube.

History

The show debuted July 29, 2010 as a web-only series which averaged 10–15 minutes in length, with over 50 archived shows still available to watch through the UFC website.

The original host of the web show was UFC Octagon girl and model Arianny Celeste, who introduced all the feature segments, interviews, highlights from previous events, and occasional photo shoots with the model. [3]

After the UFC on Fox deal was announced in November 2011, FUEL TV stated that it would devote over 2,000 hours' worth of programming to the sport. UFC Ultimate Insider was tapped as one of the flagship weekly shows to air on FUEL TV, along with the show UFC Tonight . [4]

Format

The show features four different segments, each introduced by host Jon Anik in studio. According to the official show description, each week the show brings the viewer "in-depth fighter profiles, private training sessions, exclusive footage, and insider coverage you can't get anywhere else." [5]
