Comcast Reaches Deal With Fox, UFC on FUEL to Begin Airing This Year
By Chris Leslie on February 13, 2013
One of the more frustrating issues for MMA fans may finally be resolved as Comcast and the Fox Network have reached a deal to begin showing UFC on FUEL TV. The deal will allow the cable company to bring the Fox cable channel to air in over 22 million Xfinity subscribers.
MMAjunkie first reported the deal, though details were not released.
No set timetable was announced for the deal, but it is believed that the deal will take effect before the network rebrands this August.
The deal will allow fans to see the UFC’s UFC Tonight, and UFC’s Ultimate Insider, and the promotion’s cards on the cable channel. The promotion will air on the channel again this weekend, for UFC on FUEL TV 7.

As the Rock would say, FINALLY!
Guessing Comcast peeps will still be downloading this weekend’s event then? Or did I read the August part incorrectly?
@will yeah, it’s still going to be a few weeks/months before the deal is implemented but it’s supposed to be before this summer’s rebranding
Very cool, thanks for the info mang.
