💰 UFC'S PARAMOUNT DEAL - WHAT IT MEANS

The $7.7 billion Paramount+ deal changes the UFC landscape starting January 2026 - but here's what you need to know:

U.S. Market: No more PPVs - all UFC events included with a Paramount+ subscription

Canada: Deal does NOT apply here - Sportsnet/TVA Sports retain Canadian rights, traditional PPV continues
Fighter Impact: End of PPV points in the U.S. market - will base pay and bonuses compensate?

This massive industry shift affects how the UFC operates globally, even if Canadian fans will still access fights the traditional way through Sportsnet and TVA Sports.

Islam Makhachev dominates as two-division champ - Who's next at welterweight?
Ian Machado Garry upsets Belal Muhammad - Title shot incoming?
Arman Tsarukyan submits Dan Hooker - Why won't Topuria fight him?
