On Friday, The UFC has announced a new partnership with FITE TV.
The new partnership will allow FITE TV to stream UFC pay-per-view events and other programming, such as weigh-ins and press conferences, live on their app.
“When we first launched FITE TV, our goal was to bring combat sports fans the very best events,” FITE Chief Executive Officer Kosta Jordanov said in a statement. “The signing of this distribution deal with UFC has validated that goal and we look forward to building an amazing relationship with the sports industry leader.”
The UFC announced their new streaming partnership less than a week after they had issues with streaming the boxing match between UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and Floyd “Money” Mayweather. The UFC was forced to give customers refunds due to them not being able to watch the fight live. Now, fight fans will have another option for streaming fights online.
The first UFC event that will be available on FITE TV will be UFC 215 on Sept. 9.
