Is it true that that there will be no more UFC on bravo after july?

Question

heard a dirty rumor that UFC have signed a deal with setanta and all programming will be through them from july, (more bloody subscription payments, will it never end)

Answer 1

I heard this as well, I will miss the UFC on Bravo as I have been watching it on there for years now, however setanta is only £10 a month and you get all the UFC, football, boxing and other sports and I think that is well worth it. I also heard we will be able to watch the UFC events in USA live and not the day after like on bravo.

Answer 2

You heard correctly, Setanta have the exclusive rights to all new UFC events and programing from July. I believe the current series of The Ultimate Fighter on bravo, including the finale, will be the last new UFC programing that Bravo gets.

£10.00 per month for every live UFC event plus all the fight nights, TUF's etc is still a really good deal! Gives us a chance to finaically support the sport we love (and i'm skint;)

Also this will really help UFC to be seen as a legitimate sport in the eyes of the uneducated media. Setanta is a major SPORTS channel, not lads channel like bravo.

Dont get me wrong I love Bravo and what its done for the UFC over here to this point. Its just time to move on.

Answer 3

yes it's going to be shown on setanta. i subscribe to ii & recieved info saying ufc exclusive on setanta.

Answer 4

No big loss. UFC and similar organizations are a blemish on the face of martial arts.
