If UFC president Dana White was already harshly criticizing Bellator's reality show “Fight Master”, he will now have more arguments to do so. The “Spike TV” channel announced that the program, originally shown on Wednesdays at 22 pm, will be moved to 23 pm on Thursdays until the end of the current season.
According to the website “Bleacher Report”, the main reason for the change in the program during the mid season (mid-season on North American TV) is the low audience achieved in the last episodes. In its most recent broadcast, “Fight Master” had only 398 thousand viewers, an unsatisfactory number for the Spike TV channel – which was already a partner of the UFC and showed, in the United States, the The Ultimate Fighter until its 14th edition.
Recently, Dana White harshly criticized the rival organization's program. “The big problem I have is they are just copying. They don't have anything original there. His reality show is a ripoff of The Voice and The Ultimate Fighter. I can't believe The Voice hasn't sued him yet”, said the manager after UFC on FOX 8, on July 27th.
