MMA fans in India will be delighted with the deal, which will allow them to see every UFC Fight Night and Pay-Per-View event live and in HD on the Sony Ten 2 channels as well as additional UFC content on the SPN video-on-demand service.
In case you didn’t know…
India is a key market for the UFC’s worldwide growth, so SPN’s retention of the broadcast rights will be celebrated by all parties.
However, UFC fans in India will surely be happiest with the new agreement, which will see UFC programming aired every night from Monday to Friday as well as regular live events on Sunday mornings.
The heart of the matter
Soon after the announcement of the agreement, SPN’s Head of Sports Business Rajesh Kaul had this to say:
What’s next?
Fans in India now have at least four more years of world-class mixed martial arts action from the UFC to look forward to.
The MMA community in India will be hoping that this deal could be a huge step in bringing a long-awaited UFC live event to Indian soil in the future.
