How to watch UFC Fight Night on UK TV

The UFC's popularity continues to rise. From humble beginnings in the early 1990s, the company - at its last estimate - is now said to be worth somewhere in the region of $7bn.

As its popularity has increased, so too have the number of events hosted year on year. A total of 41 events were held throughout 2020 despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here in the UK, UFC Fight Night is generally broadcast on BT Sport 2.
