Mark Cuban reveals on Insida MMA: HDNet finally gets access and credentials to UFC events "You know, over the years Dana and I have had some disagreements at the business level, and because of those, I can see his side of it as well, HDNet has not had access to UFC events. You know, we weren't able to be at the weigh-ins, we didn't have press credentials, we didn't get video after fights. And so Dana and I have been talking for the past few months and kind of came to some agreements on how to work things out. We've always gotten along, I mean when UFC came to Dallas I hosted them, met him and his wife, we always got along great but it always came down to some business points. We worked those things out, so now going forward you'll see HDNet at all the UFC events, we'll have you guys there [Kenny & Bas], we'll be doing interviews there, hopefully we'll be able to go live from weigh-ins. Now they still have their deals with Spike obviously, and Versus, and they still work closely with some other folks. But we'll have full access and that's going to be a big change." - Mark Cuban on last nights edition of Inside MMA on HDNet This Fan Shot was promoted to the front page by Nick Thomas.
