UFC Central debuts Monday on Sportsnet

This week on the debut of UFC Central, hosted by “Showdown” Joe Ferraro…

With a new era upon us, UFC Central brings you all the latest from the world of mixed martial arts with a brand new look, including fresh graphics and music.

We look back at UFC Live 6 from Washington, DC where Dominick Cruz successfully defended his bantamweight title in a hard fought battle against Demetrious Johnson. So what’s next for “The Dominator” and would he be interested in another fight with Urijah Faber? We recap all the action including impressive performances by Anthony Johnson and Stefan Struve.

With UFC 136 already upon us we get you set for the organization’s return to Texas with a full breakdown of the entire fight card set for the Pepsi Center, which includes two title fights as Lightweight Champion Frankie “The Answer” Edgar takes on top contender Gray “The Bully” Maynard, while Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo, puts his title on the line against Kenny Florian.

Another big fight in Houston will see former top contender Chael Sonnen take on “The All American” Brian Stann. We go 1-on-1 with Sonnen who tells all in our latest “Getting to Know” segment, plus he explains why Stann may be his toughest challenge to date and who he really wanted to face.

Plus, we go “Inside the Octagon” for all the latest MMA headlines including the UFC’s recent visit to Parliament Hill in Ottawa , and whether or not Gilbert Melendez will be the next Strikeforce fighter to make the move over to the UFC.

And don’t forget that you can catch The Ultimate Fighter Season 14 featuring coaches Michael “The Count” Bisping and Jason “Mayhem” Miller during this week’s UFC Wednesday Fight Night on Rogers Sportsnet. Plus, this Saturday don’t miss the live preliminary fights from UFC 136 on Sportsnet One.
