The following is from an article on LiverKick.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.

K-1 has landed on US television, signing a multi-platform partnership with Spike TV for 2012 and 2013.

K-1's four events remaining this year will all be streamed on spike.com live. In 2013, events will move on to Spike TV.

In short, this is huge news. Spike TV is where the UFC got their start on TV and with Bellator also debuting for them next year, things are getting big for the network that already has attracted a number of combat sports fans along with its demographic of males 18-49.

Dude, I disagree with that guy, but if you're going to call someone a moron, be sure to do it in a way that doesn't make you look like one as well.

Knowing when to use you're or your is not that hard. I'd give you a pass if English wasn't your first language, but with a name like Kevin Conroy I doubt it.

Personally, i can not understand why spike TV would sign with K-1. Maybe its just the name value, But thats a thing of the past. What are the going to do? Present people like seth petruzelli, Mighty mo, dewey cooper. among the best kickboxing has to offer? I might hope not. Me, I would have always try to sign GLORY World Series. The have (imo) the best selection of fighters under contract. And i have more faith (but not much) in there managament. then those who run the modern day K-1.

I was under the impression HDNet/AXS had the K-1 rights , I would think that now GLORY own Its Showtime , GLORY will be broadcast on AXS .
