With the UFC and Strikeforce now residing under the same Zuffa, LLC
umbrella, the world’s leading mixed martial arts promoter now has a
plethora of broadcast options at its disposal.
The UFC’s deals with Spike TV, Versus and ION Television (not to mention
Facebook.com) are now coupled with Strikeforce’s Showtime and CBS
partnerships, creating a widespread MMA presence across a variety of
television platforms.
But could the purchase of Strikeforce, including its fighters and
extensive tape library, signal the coming of the UFC’s own television
channel? UFC president Dana White admits it certainly make sense.
