UFC broadcasts are, if nothing else, consistent. CEO Dana White has always prioritized how UFC events look and feel, both for the home viewer and those in attendance. “Whatever is going on inside the Octagon, I can’t control,” White told Forbes earlier this year. “I’m looking at the broadcast and things that I like and don’t like.

The UFC’s return to Canada for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic marked an unexpected end of an era, albeit a potentially temporary one, when Amanda Nunes announced her retirement following a UFC 289 main event win over Irene Aldana two years ago in Vancouver.

In 2014, now-defunct promotion Bellator MMA signed an 18-year-old Aaron Pico, often touted as the “LeBron James of MMA” – a can’t-miss prospect destined to become a future champion.

Nov 14, 2024 | sportsnet.ca | Aaron Bronsteter

The date is Aug. 9, 2008 and I am a 26-year-old producer attending a UFC event for the first time, arriving at the Target Center in Minneapolis for the very first fight of the night at a time where the preliminary card was not broadcasted live.
