Match TV has signed a long-term agreement with UFC

Match TV and the Match family of channels will continue to be exclusive broadcasters of UFC tournaments on television and digital. Viewers will be able to watch more than 40 live UFC events, as well as hundreds of hours of promos and original programming.

«A gift for all mixed martial arts fans in our country. The UFC features a large number of bright Russian fighters, and the cards are always of great interest to the Russian audience. In January, the world’s attention will be focused on the fight between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan, and in the same card, we expect the return to the ring of Umar Nurmagomedov, and his brother Khabib will probably be in the ring. Every UFC event is huge, and we are happy that for at least three more years we will be able to show this celebration on Match TV and Match! Boets to MMA fans».
Alexander Tashchin General Producer, Match TV

There are over 20 Russian fighters competing in the UFC today, including lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, Petr Yan, Alexander Volkov, Sergey Pavlovich, Umar Nurmagomedov, Movsar Evloev, Arman Tsarukyan and many others.

«Match TV has been a great partner for us over the years, contributing to the development of the sport and the brand through its wide coverage and in-depth, professional coverage. We couldn’t have a better way to start 2025 than with two title fights with Russian athletes at UFC 311. We look forward to continuing to delight our fans in the region through our partnership with Match TV».
