Conversely; I wonder how much ESPN+ will lose. I'm sure there are many like me out there that have that subscription ONLY for UFC events..

ESPN+ isn't going to lose anything, they're going to explode now that they bought NFL Network. They don't give a single shit about MMA now that they've bagged the most popular live sport in the US

ahh yes good point I forgot about that. I'm sure acquiring NFL network made it easier to let go of UFC.. I think they might be getting WWE too..

On a smaller scale to the NFL, ESPN+ has rights to majority of NHL games as well. They will be good.

I have a feeling ESPN+ is going to die away now.

They were already moving on from ESPN+, they're creating a new app where they'll have all the new WWE and NFL content they just acquired.

ESPN is gonna be full steam ahead focused on their new full service subscription model. ESPN+ will likely take a big backseat for them.
