Versus to be RENAMED NBC Sports!


by KING JB

This will be HUGE for the sport of MMA in general as well as the UFC, the latest happening being the re-branding of the Versus network. It apparently will be renamed NBC Sports on January 2, 2012. This change has been rumored for quite some time, but will now coincide with the NBC's broadcast of the NHL Winter Classic and the run up to NBC's February telecast of the Super Bowl.

“Our goal is for anyone who sees the name or logo of one of our assets to immediately connect with NBC Sports,” said NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus.

He will officially announce the name change today at the Television Critics Association tour in Beverly Hills, Calif.

I think this will be HUGE for the mainstream evolution of MMA.
