was formerly the bulk of the network, with a diverse combination of sports, music, reality programming, extreme sports news and other content, including comedic programs. Beginning in late 2011, Fuel became the official cable home of the Ultimate Fighting Championship as part of a broader agreement between Fox and the mixed martial arts promotion, featuring pre-match and analysis programming involving the circuit such as the weekly UFC Tonight, along with undercard fights for UFC pay-per-view events.

Fuel's signature UFC program, UFC Tonight, moved over to Fox Sports 1 with the launch. The network's two highest-rated telecasts came from UFC events temporarily airing on FS2 due to overruns on FS1.
