Find out what network will be carrying the fights live in your country!
While fight fans in the U.S. can catch all the action on the Versus network, fans in other countries where Versus is not carried will still be able to see all the action due to the UFC's network deal with other countries. Listed below is the list of networks that will carry UFC on Versus 1: Vera vs. Jones:
Australia - FUEL TV
Brazil - Sport TV
Canada - Rogers Sportsnet
Croatia - Nova (website only)
Denmark - Canal 9
Germany - DSF
Israel - Ego TV
Mexico - Televisa
North Africa/Middle East - Showtime Arabia
Phillippines - Balls
South Korea - IB Sports
Sweden - TV4 Sport
Thailand - TrueVisions
U.K. - ESPN
UFC on Versus 1: Vera vs. Jones, takes place on March 21 from Denver, Colorado, with the fight card being listed below:
MAIN CARD
- Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera
- Junior Dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
- Paul Buentello vs. Cheick Kongo
- James Irvin vs. Alessio Sakara
PRELIMINARY CARD
- Shannon Gugerty vs. Clay Guida
- Eliot Marshall vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
- John Howard vs. Daniel Roberts
- Chase Gormley vs. Brendan Schaub
- Julio Paulino vs. Mike Pierce
- Jason Brilz vs. Eric Schafer
- Darren Elkins vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig*
I don't think most of the US even gets Versus Channel, only the west coast, specifically Cali is the only one I know of.
UFC is apparently seeing dwindling buyrates, they should really try to get onto network TV already like Strikeforce.
Actually the US is a dying market, if you're an investor you know that a lot of companies are pulling out of the US because there is "Faster growth" (that is code word for actual growth versus shrinking) in other countries world wide. Expect UFC to really start marketing more towards other countries, especially in Europe as Europe is doing really well right now financially.

guest 6204, we can thank gordon browns shrewd economics for our improving financial state in europe, yet mord than likely he is about to lose the election here in may because he has 'no personality'.
