No
They just stay there until ...
The boys have great taste in American cities
I hard nothing about that.
Plus I don't think they can contractually do that now
Where did you get that from?

Probably has more to do with scheduling/flights
Gotcha
Did they give a source?
Yep
There is hardly any fights schedule to LA
I think there is only one per week & its on a Thursday
If you want to respond ...
UFC just signed a contract with ESPN where ESPN will be hyped as the best place to buy the PPV's through
They also were paid $150m a year to be on ESPN+ app
I can't see ESPN contractual language allowing that
makes sense
I am a streamer exclusively, so I was/am optimistic the UFC would move to the WWE model of all content on one channel

WWE has 5 hrs of content a week for free & that is the moneymaker for them.
They don't have all the content on the network
Look anything is a possibility, but I cannot see ESPN over-paying for the content like they have IF UFC was focusing on Fight Pass
What "could" have happened was the guy that posted that heard that UFC will be pushing PPV's digitally more than traditionally in 2019
That is for their site/apps & ESPN's
They get more of a % that way
Some hear that & jump to conclusions
Yeah with fighters contracts getting a cut of PPV revenue how would they do that.... makes no sense to me.
Sorry I just saw this
They would restructure the deals & give a higher guarantee
But like I mentioned, I don't see this as a reality, but anything can occur
I'd be open to possibly believing it, if the guy wasn't the person that said "UFC signed with NBC"
