ESPN Scoop: 2 videos, 1 article
http://espn.go.com/ (home page)

Right middle; GSP/Hughes interview

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/news/story?id=2516201

Article + Tim Sylvia interview (well done)

If you can't beat them, Join them! How much you want to bet that ESPN will be adding a formal 'More Sports' section for MMA int he next few days? This is definitely a pre-cursor to coverage/fights on ESPN on-going. This coverage is HUGE. ESPN has purposely never given a crap about MMA until now.

Yep, good to see.

Dana and the UFC should definitely do what they can to get in the good graces of ESPN and gladly offer up highlights and the rights to show footage (as other sports do). It is the one major network for sports in the US.

While I'm glad that ESPN is recognizing the UFC, I was hoping for a bit more of a big announcement.

espn can suck my balls, at least fsn intersperses poker and darts with decent PRIDE coverage, espn needs to take a long walk of a short peir.
