    I am getting over UFC'ed on Fuel TV. I miss all my surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding that was televised on a consistent basis, but now Fuel TV has been consumed with UFC fighting. I do like watching UFC fighting, but it's on all the time. What happen to the diversity of extreme sports? I thought I would share my thoughts and see if others feel over UFC'ed on Fuel TV other than me.

    Try giving up cable.....you'll find your own life (surfing, snowboarding, & skateboarding) way more interesting.

    And if you really need a fix, youtube.

    The UFC fighting on Fuel drove me to cancel the channel on my cable plan. I agree it sucks! They play an hour of surfing a week what happened to this channel!

    UFC is the same thing as triathlon. Small brained, one-track mind people fanatical about their own idiocy

    I am planning to Kayak and SUP more this year as we go into the weaker summer swells.
    As far as TV goes I only watch a few shows like Dexter, Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad. So, I look to Fuel TV to kill time and dream surf through watching others surf amazing waves. Unfortunately, UFC Fighting has killed that. I’ll have to resort to recording with the DVR for all the surfing that is usually on at odd times.

    Back to Nike Pro Lowers… Go Occy!

    I was just talking about this. I actually have to pay for a "sports" package to get Fuel. I've been thinking of cancelling for some time now.

    I just call it the ufc channel and it sucks! I finally got fuel and they changed the programming to sweaty dudes rolling around with each other (gross). Yeah, I know they could kick my ass but ufc is kind of gay and I rather roll around with hot chicks (like 3 of em).
    It’s funny about the no TV thing. When I got back from Costa I didn't watch TV for at least a week without any desire to watch (no TV in cabina). With ease, I found other things I'd rather do with my spare time. Its peaceful not having the stupid box on all the time and it lets you focus on your life.

    Havn't had cable in 3 years. I'm never going back. I have a plethora of pirated surf movies on a hard drive and I use netflix for everything else. I'm about $50/month richer than you, and I don't have to watch the coli flower eared d-bags plug their sh*tty sponsors every two minutes.

    Yea, I just got the dish thinking I'd see a lot of surfing on FUEL TV. Was disapointed to see all the UFC. :( Where else besides the web can I find video waves?

    I am over fuel tv. The UFC is way over blown and its all day every day. If you happen to work at certain times you cant catch any surf or skate shows. I used to watch it all the time, now I never watch it. I am canceling the channel.

    At least you had fuel tv. Here in the northeast most cable providers dont even know what the channel is. But if you want a 24-7 channel licking the bung holes of yankee players...your in luck!
