MUMBAI:
NBC Sports Network has entered into a three-year partnership
with World Series of Fighting (WSOF) to deliver live, world
championship Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight programming, beginning
with the promotion's second event, "WSOF 2," live
23 March.
The
agreement calls for a minimum of six live events annually
on the national television platform that reaches over 80 million
homes.
Additionally,
later this year, NBCSports.com will live stream World Series
of Fighting events via TV Everywhere.
"We
are thrilled to call NBC Sports Network the home of World
Series of Fighting," said World Series of Fighting President
and six-time world kickboxing champion, Ray Sefo. "This
partnership will allow us to build the World Series of Fighting
brand of world-class MMA competition before a dedicated national
audience of passionate sports fans and place our athletes
on the big stage that they deserve."
The
inaugural World Series of Fighting 1 aired live on NBC Sports
Network on 3 November last year.
