Why is UFC Japan 2013 on Fuel?

Madvillain8

I think that's a horrible decision they could have easily made Japan 2013 a high selling pay per view by putting Machida vs. Henderaon as the main event and not the co-main event for the Rousey fight. Look at it like this: Machida the fighter of Japanese descent bringing Karate to its homeland, and then there's Henderson who has history with PRIDE. THAT'S $$$$! Who agrees with me!? Someone should pitch this idea to Dana.

I'm so sick of fuel. I can't get anything other than Comcast in my area and they don't carry fuel. I hadn't missed at event in years until the UFC started putting events on fuel.

I have Comcast also it's a real pain missing some excellent fights.

Fuel is the new place for International events

7 - UK
8 - Japan
9 - Sweden

(not to mention Sweden, UK, and China last year)

Better question ...

Why has the UFC not come back to Boston?

UFC is going hard on Fuel events. Trying to get people to order the channel because Fuel 8 is Fox worthy imo

yeah that's very true, it's a pretty stacked card, could easily be on a FOX card you'd think, but these days the FOX cards just get bigger and bigger, the UFC are finally getting it right I think in terms of what types of fights they put on which cards

That's not a very nice thing to say

Man thats some B S. The fact that they would put fights on a channel thats not available in some places is ridiculous in the first place.

I watch every PPV at my friends or order it myself if I have to, and never miss the Fox cards either.

Fuel pisses me off so much because I hate feeling like im out of the loop when I miss a card.

Patster im with you on UFC coming back to Boston. I wanted to go last time and see Frankie/BJ but my friends cheaped out like h0ebags.

I agree so I just changed over to direct tv today so I will not be missing any more cards. i had just watchED a little of fuel TV a few weeks ago at a bar and it seems like they re-air alot of fights on Fuel so I am excited to finally get it.
