UFC has officially announced a television deal with Inner Mongolia Television, Let’s hope these don’t go bust like Setenta Sports, Moving on. This will mark the first time in History that the UFC will ever be seen on Chinese Television, In my honest opinion I think the Chinese people will LOVE IT! Let’s hope they love it enough to forget about Bob Sapp. China is obviously a huge market for this sport.
Concluding this statement with a reference by Dana White – UFC President: “Obviously China is a huge market and the Chinese understand the martial arts probably better than anyone else in the world. It’s a no brain-er that UFC programming will be appreciated in China, and will become a big hit for the NMTV network,” said Dana White, UFC President.
Inner Mongolia Television, known as NMTV, is a network broadcast station available in 80 million households, with the potential to reach 240 million viewers throughout all the provinces of China. Starting this month, NMTV will air up to 16 hours of UFC programming per month, including the trademark shows The Ultimate Fighter, UFC Unleashed and UFC All Access, with an option to air recent UFC pay-per-view event telecasts. Furthermore this deal will allow the UFC to expand on their brand more, It’s going to be Big! NMTV will air between one to four hours of UFC programming each week on Saturday and Sunday between 1:30 – 5:30pm local time.
