Kenny Florian, who could be the next Frank Mir as he’s very smooth behind the mic, gives notice that ESPN’s web only MMA show “MMA Live” could soon find its way onto the actual broadcast schedule:

“I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but soon,” Florian said. “The next couple of month, we’re hoping to get [MMA Live] on ESPN or ESPN 2, and the sponsors are getting on board as we speak, so we should have a deal very, very soon. We’re all very pumped.”

The 30-minute studio show, which launched in May, is hosted by Jon Anik with Florian, boxing/MMA writer Franklin McNeil and other guest hosts as analysts. With stellar production values, video footage from all the top organizations (including the UFC) and the backing of the sports world’s most powerful news oulet, “MMA Live” has garnered a strong following despite being distributed only on the web.

“It’s a fun time,” said Florian, who awakes at 4 a.m. to tape the show in Bristol, Conn., each Thursday. “The producers are awesome to work with. Everyone over there is cool.”

“MMA Live” airs Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN.com.

KFlo is a stud, and the producers do a solid job with the show but sort of insulting that ESPN can’t find room on their schedule amid poker and celebrity car auctions to cover, you know, an actual sport….he didn’t say as much but we’re assuming that ESPN will get around to finding a home on the broadcast schedule when they find a free moment from their primary job of giving Brett Favre foot massages…
