The landscape of mixed martial arts broadcasts is changing. From the UFCs deal with ESPN, to ONE Championship signing with B/R Live and TNT, fights are finding new homes. As the industries largest organizations make a shift, so does CES. Per a release from the organization, CES inked a multi-year deal to broadcast CES MMA on UFC Fight Pass.
CES MMA’s move from television to online streaming came as a result of an expiring deal with AXS TV. Once the defunct home of diverse North American mixed martial arts programming and broadcasts, AXS TV dumped another combat sports broadcast property.
