i think mma needs to show a bit more promise and marketability to get espn onboard. i believe that in the past they have shown a bit of a bias against mma, but then again, lampley has been super against mma and ufc is supposed to be signing a deal... and espn sponsored rampage in pride (i had forgotten about this until they showed the match on the fsn show the other day and blurred out the ad on rampage's trunks), but sponsoring a fighter is different than airing the sport.
