I love MMA and am a fan of the IFL and also of the UFC. I continue hearing that as the hollywood writers strike continues the possibility of more reality TV (that doesnt require the writers guild) becomes more likely. Foremost being discussed is bringing MMA to broadcast television, namely CBS and NBC. This is huge in terms of mainstream acceptance.

UFC is said to be in talks with CBS, and NBC is going after the next level tier....IFL, probably M-1, or K1 Heros. I am wondering if any MMA fans out there have any news or updates on this situation. Here are some links:

Thoughts?

More reality TV is something that is not needed on television, but more MMA would definitely be a cool thing.
