How do you watch UFC in UK? Empty How do you watch UFC in UK?

Post by Valero's Conscience Tue 24 Jan 2012, 10:16 am

This may sound a silly question as i've always watched replays in internet the morning after but how do you go about watching it live?

I know some are shown on ESPN, but do you subscribe and get all the events free after or do you have to pay an additional PPV fee?

Also, if you don't subscribe to ESPN, can you still purchase a UFC PPV event?

Also regarding the UFC on Fox events. The first one was shown on Premier Sports on Sky for free as then event was free in the US. I've looked on their TV schedule and UFC on Fox 2 isn't being shown this weekend so I guess it was a one-off.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You pay a supscription for ESPN and you get all the UFC shows as part of the package.

I dont think you can make a one off payment for an event of you dont have ESPN.

The UFC on Fox 2 is being shown on ESPN this weekend - its on my Sky planner anyway!

I subscribed to espn purely for the ufc but they show the games sky dont pick up for the prem & fa cup and also the italian football plus the nba, if you subscribe to it over the internet its £9 instead of £12 which i dont think is too bad really considering if i pay for a pay per view on box office there normally about £16 and upwards.

Regarding viewing the events i like to record them then whizz through all the talk to save timeas from starting to watch it can eb a good 10-15 minutes before the first fight starts.

Cheers Dangle, me and my brother like UFC so for us to pay £6 each is pretty cheap considering.

yeah espn £9 a month through sky. pretty much have all ufc shows now including FX and fox. think the premier sports was a one off. its not a bad deal, especially when you consider you get rugby, football into the mix and the odd boxing on friday nights

Yeah it seems better value than Sky Sports considering what I mainly like to watch!

Don't know if you are aware but ESPN is free across the board this weekend which is great news for UFC 143.

The website even says that if you re-tune your freeview box you will pick up ESPN,which would be cool as I only gave Sky downstairs.
