The UFC's new weekly magazine show, "Ultimate Insider" debuts Tuesday on FUEL TV.

Hosted by UFC broadcaster Jon Anik, the show promises to bring all access profiles of top UFC talent, including behind-the-scenes and never-before-seen video footage.

The first 30-minute episode debuts Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT and promises features on UFC president Dana White, as well as top light heavyweights Jon Jones and Dan Henderson.

"Ultimate Insider" is the latest addition to FUEL TV's MMA-related programming lineup that already includes "Best of PRIDE Fighting Championships," "Countdown to UFC," "UFC Reloaded," "UFC Tonight," "UFC Ultimate Knockouts" and "UFC Unleashed."

The channel also airs live fights, including Wednesday's "UFC on FUEL TV 1: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez."

The UFC recently moved much of its live-event programming from Spike TV to FX and FUEL TV thanks to its seven-year deal with FOX. Although currently cable TV's lowest-rated cable station (in which ratings information is available), FUEL TV has increased from approximately 30 million homes to 36 million in the past few months due in large part to the new UFC programming, which has set ratings records for the sports-oriented station.

Anik, who currently serves alongside Kenny Florian as a broadcaster for FUEL TV and FX's live UFC events, also hosts the upcoming 15th season of "The Ultimate Fighter."

"The UFC is one of the strongest brands in sports, and in my opinion, it's the greatest sport in the world," Anik stated when he first joined the company. "The product speaks for itself. More frequently than any other sport, the UFC delivers. I had the chance to be on the road at UFC events when I was with ESPN, and what separates the UFC from other sports is that it prides itself on being hands-on and fan-friendly."

"I look forward to helping play a small role in bringing the UFC to as many people across the world as possible. I'm really excited to a part of an organization that is filled with quality people who are the best in the world at what they do."
