The UFC and Fox have gotten into bed together as they have signed a 7 year deal and the rumored number is 100 million a year which is a very very very low low low number so it might be a lot larger number when the final number comes out.
So FOX will have four UFC live cards each year on the main FOX network which may have some tittle fights on some cards and some name fighters but not every card and then will also have 32 live events on the FX channel which will happen on Fridays and Fuel TV will have pre and post event shows after network and PPV shows.
The ultimate fighter series will be 13 live shows apart of the FX Friday package which will included a two hour live episode with 16 elimination fights to choose who is in the house for that season and then the show after that will have have pre-taped segments from Saturday to Thursday and then will end the show with the elimination fight which will be live.
The UFC is going the WWE the way by going the national TV way which helps the WWE to promo the PPV that helps to give them more PPV buys and will help the UFC PPV buys that are very high already and will get even more buys through their national TV time.
UFC is going to be a powerhouse for years to come and FOX will be laughing all the way to the bank
