Last year, the UFC announced that ESPN+ would become the new, exclusive home of all UFC pay-per-view (PPV) events in the United States and that the promotion would immediately move on from traditional distribution methods for consumers.
The incredibly quick transition was completed in time for UFC 236 on April 13. The event, headlined by Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier, was the first-ever UFC PPV that would be exclusively available to consumers via the ESPN+ streaming service. Fans now require an ESPN+ subscription if they wish to order and watch any UFC PPV event going forward.
What does that mean for you as a consumer? Let’s break it down now.
