RIO DE JANEIRO – To all the MMA fans in the U.K., get ready: August is a big month for you.
That’s when the UFC’s deal with ESPN expires, and that’s when the UFC could score a new TV contract that could significantly impact the number of events the regions hosts.
Right now, the U.K. is promised one event in 2012. But depending on the TV negotiations, a second could happen before year’s end.
