    DirecTV's on-screen guide is listing the first leg of Liverpool's EL qualifier on delay next Friday on Fox Deportes. I didn't see anything listed for Fox Soccer nor did I see a live listing for the Liverpool game. Are there any other qualifiers airing from the CL or EL?

    They have some UFC preview show listed on Fox Soccer on Thursday evening. How long have they been showing UFC stuff on here??

    For the past month or so I've seen them advertise UFC as part of their future lineup.

    FOX Soccer owed Fuel TV 2 hours of TV time from Survival Sunday.

    By airing 2 hours of UFC previews on FOX Soccer on Thursday, the ledger is now even again.

    As a huge MMA and Futbol fan I like that Fox is cross promoting their live events across multiple platforms.

    No.

    The lineup of events FOX Soccer is pushing are:

    English Premier League
    UEFA Champions League (new 3-year deal through May 2015 starting this August)
    CONCACAF Champions League (new deal through April 2017 just signed with CONCACAF)
    FIFA Women's World Cup 2015

    If FOX Soccer were to lose EPL, will it become "FOX Sports 1" or "FOX Sports 2" with UFC in the mix? Possibly. College football, college basketball, World Poker Tour, and beauty pageants (Hooters) would also be in the mix.

    A lot of fillers that used to air on FOX Sports Net now air on Fuel TV, which is slowing morphing from an action sports network into something that resembles what "FOX Sports 1" will look like.
