<p><b>George Greenberg:</b></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Planning over 2,000+ hours of UFC programming and 100+ live hours of programming on Fuel TV in 2012 starting January 1st.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">First live show will be <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/92138/ufc-142">UFC 142</a> weigh-ins on January 13th as well as a post-fight show on January 14th.<br></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">First live prelims special will be on January 20th for <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/92420/ufc-on-fx">UFC on FX</a>. Weigh-ins and post-fight show will be broadcast as well.<br></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">No deals in place yet to broadcast TUF: Brazil or other international TUF seasons, but they are working on it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Says the UFC has the most loyal viewership of any sport he's seen.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">They're prepared for Frank Mir-type violence if it happens. Though they probably wouldn't show as many replays as the pay-per-views. "But we're not going to shy away from it."</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Having the Facebook prelims is going to be "programming gold." Hoping to enjoy ratings they've never seen before. Facebook prelims average over 150,000 viewers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Six events on Fuel TV, six events on FX, four on Fox for 2012.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Confident Wednesday night events will still do well in ratings.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">"UFC Champions Roundtable" with Jay Glazer is expected to be an immensely popular quarterly show.</span></li>
