Dec 11, 2010
(PRESS RELEASE) -- In December 2006, FightZone TV aired its first
MMA event in Tampa, FL on local cable to 300,000 homes.

In 2008, the short lived International Fight League (IFL), which
had a contract with various FSN networks, folded and FightZone TV

southern states, bringing the total available homes to over 25
million.
