UCMMA, Europe’s top MMA organisation, are pleased to announce the launch of "Cage Fighter" starting on Wednesday 7th July at 9:30pm on Sky Sports 2.
"Cage Fighter" is the new weekly half an hour MMA Magazine show hosted by legendary promoter Dave O'Donnell, OJ Borg and top referee Grant Waterman. Each week sees celebrity guests and MMA Champions join the presenters to take a light hearted look at the toughest sport in the world. The show will feature exciting fights, knock-outs of the week and up and coming fighters - plus learning moves in the cage and visiting some of the UK's top MMA gyms.
Every Wednesday Night on Sky Sports, "Cage Fighter" gives an entertaining insight into the characters behind the world's fastest growing sport. The first show kicks off with undefeated UCMMA champion Jimi 'Poster Boy' Manuwa dropping in to talk about his upcoming title fight, and look out for crowd favourite Jamaine 'Mr Pain' Facey, Jake 'Brutal' Bostwick, Brian from Big Brother and undefeated featherweight Giorgio Andrews joining the presenters in the next few episodes.
Dave O’Donnell said, “This is a monumental breakthrough for MMA and for Sky Sports and it’s a partnership that I see going a long way. A partnership with Sky is also what the fans have been waiting for. "Cage Fighter" will give the fans an insight into the fighter’s personalities and the most exciting sport in the world.”

Park’s Analysis: This is great news for UCMMA and even better news for up and coming fighters who aspire to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Brad Pickett & Co.
We haven’t had anything like this in the UK since “Ultimate Talk” went down with Setanta Sports last summer, so I look forward to watching “Cage Fighter” tomorrow night.
