As an update from yesterday’s piece, Gareth A Davies of the The Telegraph is reporting that in addition to UK fans being able to watch the UFC on Versus 5 card headlined by Dan Hardy vs Chris Lytle via UFC.TV, UK fans with Sky as their provider will be able to watch the event for free on Premier Sports, Sky channel 433.
Hardy v Lytle UPDATE: Premier Sports – Channel 433 on Sky – will be showing event live and free. Virgin and Freeview only online at ufc.tv
Premier Sports is usually a subscription sports channel that has shown some lesser known events and sports leagues in Football (Soccer), Rugby and Boxing but according to Davies the event will be free to air with no subscription required. Virgin Media and Freeview customers will still have to watch via UFC.TV only (sign up required but at no costs incurred). Premier Sports has also been the recent home for live Cage Warriors events, one of the UK’s longest running and most professional MMA promotions.
