Reactions to UFC’s groundbreaking deal with Paramount have generated a slew of reactions.
On Monday, news broke that Paramount had plunked down a whopping $7.7 billion to become the exclusive streaming home of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s events starting in 2026 — including premium numbered events which will be available as part of the monthly subscription service.
That bit of news alone was enough for fight fans to rejoice.
However, there has been a lot of talk about how eliminating the antiquated pay-per-view model will impact fighter pay.
