As the historic eight-year deal between Fox Sports Network and Ultimate Fighting Championship comes to an end, the premier Mixed Martial Arts Organisation will now base ESPN as it’s new home. The very first fight card for UFC will take place on its streaming platform called ESPN+ on Jan. 19, the app was launched earlier this year and is also home to Top Rank Boxing
So far the UFC has done a terrific job of stacking the fight card with interesting fights including the super fight between flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and current bantamweight champion T.J Dillashaw who will be moving down in weight in an attempt to become two-division world champion. The fight was initially slated for UFC 233 which was supposed to take place on PPV, but so far the PPV card has been cancelled.
