Looks like MMA is coming to ESPN...or at least their website. MMAWeekly.com is reporting that a new online show focusing on the sport will debut on the website this Thursday. The show will be hosted by UFC lightweight contender Kenny Florian, ESPN's John Anik & Newark Star-Ledger reporter Franklin McNeil.

The program, called MMA Live, will feature the hosts discussing all the news & notes of the sport & will look to adding interviews and other segments later. Florian, who says he was contacted about doing the show before his fight with Joe Lauzon, also points to the possibility of the show going to regular ESPN television if the initial three show internet run is well received. The shows will be 30 minutes long.

So, it now appears that MMA is not only getting more airtime in some capacity but the almighty gods at ESPN are even seeing fit to try and give MMA a little attention themselves. Let's see how that turns out
