And new! Foxtel launches dedicated UFC channel

Foxtel has launched a new 24/7 channel dedicated to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

The group announced Main Event UFC on Monday, which will be available on Foxtel and Kayo Sports, and feature ‘free fight marathons’, behind the scenes content, live press conferences and weigh ins.

Despite the new channel, ESPN will still be the home for UFC Fight Night coverage in Australia.

“We are super-charging the UFC experience across our platforms with a dedicated channel that will pump up all UFC fans in the lead up to upcoming Pay-Per-View events and Fight Nights on ESPN – all in HD,” Foxtel group director of content acquisitions and sports partnerships, Adam Howarth, said.
