The Real Winners and Losers from UFC on ABC 2
Forget Fight Night.
It was Fight Morning/Early Afternoon for the UFC in Las Vegas.
The octagonal conglomerate got things started not long after dawn in the Nevada desert—for the record, it was 11:30 a.m. on the East Coast—for a 13-bout card whose five-fight main event portion was broadcast on both ESPN+ and its mainstream network big brother, ABC.
It was the second Fight Night show to appear on ABC and began with a moment of silence in honor of rapper Earl “DMX” Simmons, who died Friday of cardiac arrest at age 50.
