UFC on FOX Press Conference Highlights

In case you missed it, the UFC announced its new partnership with FOX Television.

A new 7-year TV deal will start in November with a live event on FOX and the broadcast mogul will air four live events per year.

The deal also includes six live cards on FX, as well as two seasons of The Ultimate Fighter per year, which will now include live fights each week.

Fuel TV will also receive some UFC programming, likely in the form of pay-per-view prelims.

Here are some highlights from today’s press conference:

This is a landmark deal for the premiere MMA organization and a sign of big things to come for the UFC.

Rumors have the deal at nearly $100 million a year for the UFC, which is quite a jump from the reported $35 million a year it got from Spike TV.
