With Versus back on DirecTV, White says outage “not going to happen again”

DirecTV subscribers forced to survive for months without access to the
WEC’s Versus-broadcast cards rejoiced when the cable television network
was able to strike a deal with the satellite television provider in time
for this past weekend’s UFC on Versus 1 event.

While exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, White said he was
thrilled that the Zuffa, LLC sister-promotions of UFC and WEC were once
again available to DirecTV subscribers.

White also promised that the channel wouldn’t be forced to endure
another outage in the future.
