Going to be interesting how this shakes out.

Was always going to happen, with WWE going the Netflix route.
I am surprised they didn't come to Netflix as well.
Maybe they didn't want to cannibalize on WWE.

The good is that those who have IPTV will get these fights without pauses now. Always found the PPV stuff via IPTV to pause or loss of connections during the main fights. Good on UFC - I hope they fkn pay the fighters well now.
*Laughs in Dana White*
Fighters will get a Venum coupon which they can use once per month.

Jake always goes at Dana, lol.
In the US the WWE is not going hard into Netflix. (Internationally Netflix does all WWE content)
WWE only went the Netflix route in the US for one of its weekly programs. Not its pay per views which were all part of Peacock's streaming service (they called them "premium" events") so you got them all for free if you had peacock.
Interestingly though in 2026, the WWE is going the opposite direction of UFC for its premium events. Starting in 2026 (in the US) the "premium" events are going back to the traditional "Pay Per View" model, via a deal with ESPN pay per view service.
Gotcha didn't know that.
Anyway, doesn't make a difference to me as I stream all UFC events for free via SportSurge lmao.
Did a quick search, Ari Emanuel (who's brother Rahm, well known worked under Obama), owns the UFC.. anyways from his wikipedia...
In April 2002 agent Sandra Epstein and other Endeavor employees sued Ari Emanuel on allegations that a pornographic website was operated out of Endeavor's offices and that Emanuel made racist and anti-gay remarks.[19] Emanuel disputed these accusations at the time. Emanuel settled Epstein's claims for $2.25 million.[19]
Dude is in hollyweird and making anti-gay remarks?
Also owning the UFC (with its black athletes)?... That's wild...
Not overly surprising, anyone remember Clippers owner Sterling? "don't bring black people to my games"

Hopefully now the glitches will be gone. Nothing worse then watching a great fight and it glitches half of it.
guess we will see if the subscription will start raising.
