Jay Glazer

Jay Glazer hosts the live FUEL TV pre and post specials breaking down the matchups, fighter profiles, expert analysis, as well as celebrities from the red carpet, all leading up to the fight.

An expert in MMA, he has also hosted the Pride Fighting Championships on FSN, the first mixed martial arts (MMA) highlights show ever broadcast in the U.S.  In addition, Jay is also a regular contributor for Fight Magazine.

Jay has also competed in MMA and holds a record of 4-3 in mixed martial arts and submission fighting.  He trained on the Arizona Combat Sports Team but his TV duties have prevented him from fighting since joining FOX covering the NFL as Senior Writer.  The last time he competed was in March of 2005 when he won a gold medal at the World Championships of Submission Fighting, fighting under Team Renzo Gracie.

In addition to his work in the MMA world, Jay is more widely known for his contribution to FOX Sports and its NFL coverage. Jay works as the NFL’s #1 information man and provides weekly “NFL Insider” reports from the FOX NFL SUNDAY studio in Los Angeles. Glazer also contributes to FOXSports.com Breaking News and hosts two “Lunch with Benefits” shows.

Prior to joining the FOX Sports family in 2004, Glazer covered the NFL for CBS SportsLine and was an insider on CBS Sports' The NFL Today program.  He made his name as an NFL writer for the New York Post and gained large market television experience as an on-air commentator for WCBS-TV in New York, as a host of Unnecessary Roughness on the MSG network.

During the NFL off-season, along with MMA great, Randy Couture, they have developed MMAthletics, a full time training camp designed solely for professional athletes.  They have trained over 50 NFL players in a mixed martial arts cross training program to improve their minds and bodies for NFL action.  Jay last year trained Clay Matthews, who was runner-up Defensive Player of the Year after working MMA with Jay.  He also trained the Atlanta Falcons squad and the St. Louis Rams among others.  In the past Jay has worked with the likes of Jared Allen, Patrick Willis, Matt Leinart and many other players who have improved after working with Glazer and MMA.

Born Dec. 26, 1969, Glazer earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in mass media from Pace University in New York in 1992.  He lives in Los Angeles, CA.
