ESPN just got a shot in the arm for its new streaming service, as ESPN+ signs up the UFC for live fights and other mixed martial arts content.
The deal will bring live UFC bouts to the service beginning in January. UFC on ESPN+ Fight Night, as it’s called, will offer a full card of 12 UFC matches. Bonus content will also be available on ESPN’s TV, social media, and digital platforms.
The multi-year agreement between The Walt Disney Company and the UFC is the first-ever rights and distribution agreement among the two companies.
