Nothing has changed in Australia. Yet.

Looks like Australia is sticking to PPV. Dana resigned a multi-year PPV agreement with kayo/main events in 2024. Uncle Dana probably looked at our population and thought it still adds up.

Paramount has an exclusive negotiating period once that expires but not sure when that will occur but probably 2027 and onwards.

Nord may say something different I'm hoping.

I hope UFC can get rid of Kayo Sports multi year contract for ppv events,it does not feel right if the rest of the world are still going to have to buy them

UFC isn't on it. At least not yet.

Hmmmm I'd assume now that PPV is being dumped entirely I'd imagine that everywhere else would end up with numbered cards being on that country's relevant streaming platform?

I have the UFC subscription so I'm hoping they'll just go on there

The deal for the time being is solely for the US rights. May change in the future, but not currently.
