UFC on FUEL TV 1 main card set with four bouts



UFC on FUEL TV 1 takes place Feb. 15 at Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Neb. The main card airs on FUEL TV, and prelims stream on Facebook.

Headlining the event is a welterweight bout between Jake Ellenberger (26-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and Diego Sanchez (23-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC).

Also slated for the televised portion of the event are middleweights Aaron Simpson (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) vs. Ronny Markes (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), heavyweights Dave Herman (21-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Stefan Struve (22-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC), and heavyweights Phil De Fries (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Stipe Miocic (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

FUEL TV is a FOX-owned cable station that now hosts a significant amount of UFC programming. However, it's still unavailable (or a premium option) on many cable platforms. But with a recent push, its reach has increased from approximately 30 million homes to 36 million in the past few months, officials recently announced. The push should continue with the upcoming event-series debut on FUEL TV.

Outside the U.S., the UFC has made the FUEL TV content available on other cable platforms, or in many countries, on UFC.tv.
