VICE TV’s MMA-themed documentary series continues this week.
“Dark Side of the Cage” continues Wednesday (VICE TV, 10 p.m. ET) with an episode about UFC CEO Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta attempting to overcome pushback from Spike TV to broadcast MMA fights.
The series aims to “cut through the glamour and glory of the MMA spectacle to reveal the never-before-told stories behind its most iconic competitors and delves into the controversial and infamous events along the path to the sport’s dominance.” The show already has featured episodes on Kimbo Slice, Evan Tanner and “The Ultimate Fighter 1” winner Diego Sanchez.
In the exclusive preview clip above, Spike TV’s Kevin Kay recalls a conversation with White, in which he told him the UFC would be “bigger than the NFL.”
New episodes of “Dark Side of the Cage,” featuring “never-before-told stories about MMA’s most iconic fighters,” air Wednesdays on VICE TV.
