UFC on TV

A little confused as to what is going on now with future UFC events and shows?

I've seen there's been the latest Ultimate Fighter recently aired on Fox (FX to us Brits))? I was totally oblivious to this and only by reading this forum did I find out there had been TUF 14!! That along with the recent event of Valasquez versus Dos Santos which for some unknown reason was not given a title (i.e. UFC 140) was not aired in the UK other than on Fox.

Are future UFC events remaining with ESPN? Shall I cancel the subscription now?

I know Lesnar/Overeem is on ESPN but now sure about anything after that!

Can anyone shed a light on this?

Cheers!

it is a bit muddled, I was lucky enough to catch the Cain vs Dos Santos fight, but mainly through extensive internet searching.

My understanding is that ESPN have a contract for a set amount of PPV UFC events. The Cain vs Dos Santos fight was a big thing in the US, as I believe it was the first 'free to air' event. This basically meant it fell outside of ESPN's deal, to show all the PPV events. Which is why a deal was struck to get it shown on another (somewhat random) channel.

And I think Marco is correct in that, any UFC events on Fox in the US (such as TUF) can probably now be expected to be shown on FX in this country.

If anyone is interested in playing in a MMA prediction league,we are just about to start a new season on the Armbar.

predictions have to be in before UFC 142 starts.

If not,while it's still abit slow on this MMA section,why not just come and visit the Armbar to get your extra MMA fix.
