The next UFC on ESPN show has been converted to an ESPN+ card.
It was announced on Saturday night (H/T MMAjunkie’s Mike Bohn) that the promotion’s April 27th event is now going to have the main card moved to ESPN+. The main event was initially Ronaldo Souza against Yoel Romero, but Romero’s illness led to Jack Hermansson stepping in on short notice to face the Brazilian grappler instead. Evidently Hermansson isn’t quite the name value expected to garner major attention on ESPN TV, so the switch has been made.
Interestingly enough, the way the show is constructed, you’ll have to now go through three different ESPN platforms to watch the whole card.
