With UFC Fight Pass a little over two months old now, it’s officially available in most of the world.

The promotion announced on Thursday that the paid subscription service is now available in 178 countries and territories. Initially, the channel was only offered in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The news comes just in time for the next Fight Pass-exclusive event. On Saturday, the promotion will air a card headlined by Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jimi Manuwa from London on Fight Pass, which can accessed by logging onto UFC.tv. Fight Pass will also be the home of TUF Brazil 3, coached by Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva, which premieres Sunday night.

UFC officials won’t release how many people have signed up for the service or how many watch the live events, but one source said they’ve received 300 percent more subscriptions than their initial projections.
