‘GI vs. Pro’ Coming to FSN
Sun Sports & Entertainment announced Tuesday that it has signed
an agreement with Fox Sports Net to telecast an MMA TV series
called "GI vs. Pro."
The show will match current and former MMA-trained armed services members against professional mixed martial artists in a circular cage.
Sun's "Art of War" division will produce nine events, which will air as one-hour specials on Saturday nights at midnight on FSN, beginning July 19 and concluding Sept. 13.
"We at Sun are extremely pleased to be working with such a respected network as FSN, which will telecast this unique and exciting series into millions of homes across the country," said Sun CEO CJ Comu in a news release. "Our agreement with FSN is an important milestone for Sun as we continue to implement our growth strategy and develop relationships with international and domestic partners. By showcasing our world-class fighters through well-produced, quality events on FSN, Sun's position as an emerging global MMA organization is only further enhanced."
FSN announcer Jay Glazer and analyst Frank Trigg (Pictures) will team up on the "GI vs. Pro" telecasts.
"MMA is on fire," said FSN Vice President of Production Gary Garcia. "This show, featuring intense battles between elite, fine-tuned athletes, is the perfect brand extension for the U.S. military to hit their target demo right between the eyes."
