How the UFC landed a $7.7 billion deal with Paramount after a whirlwind 48 hours, according to TKO execs
Just how big of a surprise was the UFC's bombshell $7.7 billion deal with Paramount and CBS? So big that even UFC CEO Dana White didn't see it coming. 'No, I didn't think this is where we'd end up,' White said Monday during an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' to discuss the new broadcast rights deal. 'But this is sort of how it played out. I love it. These guys are obviously very smart guys, very aggressive.' In an interview on CNBC, TKO president and COO Mark Shapiro said he initially expected to make a deal that would bring only the UFC Fight Night events to Paramount. But after Skydance Media completed its deal to purchase control of Paramount last week, Shapiro said, the deal for the entirety of the UFC's U.S. broadcast rights came together in just 48 hours. Now, instead of just the 30 UFC Fight Night events per year, Paramount+ will feature all UFC content, including the 13 numbered UFC events each year. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] 'We're getting the brand, we're getting the reach, and they'll get the signups,' Shapiro said of Paramount's streaming service. Possibly the biggest news in all this for fight fans is the end of the UFC's pay-per-view era. Ever since the very first UFC event in 1993, pay-per-view has been a vital part of the UFC's strategy. Under the current deal with ESPN, each UFC pay-per-view costs $79.99 in the U.S., plus the cost of the ESPN+ subscription on top of that. With pay-per-view revenues reportedly in decline, it makes sense for the UFC to finally ditch that model. The fact that it's doing so as part of a deal that will essentially double the roughly $550 million per year that the UFC currently receives from ESPN likely only made that calculation easier. 'The pay-per-view model is a thing of the past,' Shapiro said on Monday. 'What's on pay-per-view anymore? Boxing? Movies on DirecTV? It's an outdated, antiquated model. So, it was paramount to us — forgive the pun — where it's one-stop shopping, especially for our younger fans in flyover states. When they find out, 'Wait, if I just sign up for Paramount+ for $12.99 a month, I'm going to automatically get UFC's numbered fights and the rest of the portfolio?' That's a message we want to amplify.' What's still unclear is exactly how and when UFC events might be included on the CBS network TV lineup. According to Shapiro, Paramount+ will be the home for all 43 UFC events per year — 30 UFC Fight Nights and 13 numbered events — when the deal begins in 2026. But he added that those numbered events, which typically feature the title fights and the biggest names on the UFC roster, could also air on CBS. 'It was important to us to have CBS play a big component in this,' Shapiro said on CNBC. 'As they've laid out, this is Paramount+ exclusively. But CBS will have simulcast on many of the fights, and likely all of the numbered events, which are formerly the pay-per-view fights.' For many, it was probably a surprise to see Paramount emerge as the winner in the battle for UFC broadcast rights, especially after months of speculation that pegged Netflix and ESPN as the most likely destinations. After all, Paramount+ is currently known more for TV dramas like 'Yellowstone' than it is for live sports. But, as the UFC CEO White added, many streaming services are looking to bolster their appeal to subscribers with the help of live sports, which create an urgency among viewers that scripted shows can't match. 'I think all these streaming services, no matter who they are, have to be involved in live sports,' White said. 'Any type of sport, you have to watch it live. Nobody's going to watch a taped or delayed sporting event. So yeah, I think they all have to have it.'

FedEx Cup No. 5 Suddenly Withdraws From BMW Championship, 'Requests Privacy'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sepp Straka, ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, suddenly announced his withdrawal from the BMW Championship, the second event of the PGA Tour playoffs. The Austrian just finished tied for 17th in the first event of this stage, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The news was released through the X PGA Tour Communications account. A brief statement from Straka's manager, Butler Melnyk, also released the same channel, requesting privacy for the player. "For personal reasons, Sepp is unable to play this week," Melnyk said. "He intends to compete at the TOUR Championship, but requests privacy at this time as he attends to a family matter at home." Although Straka's absence from the BMW Championship is notable, it will not significantly impact his chances of playing in the TOUR Championship. The final tournament of the regular season features the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup, and Straka should comfortably remain in that group, even without playing this week. Sepp Straka of Austria hits a tee shot on the eighth hole during the second round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 at TPC Southwind on August 08, 2025 in Memphis, Tennessee. Sepp Straka of Austria hits a tee shot on the eighth hole during the second round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 at TPC Southwind on August 08, 2025 in Memphis, could be affected is his ranking for the European Ryder Cup team. Currently, Straka is ranked sixth, which would qualify him directly, but he could be displaced by Shane Lowry if he has a strong result at the BMW Championship. However, this situation would be merely a side note, as Straka is virtually guaranteed to be among the 12 players who will compete under captain Luke Donald, either directly qualifying or as one of six free picks. Straka is finishing one of the best seasons of his career, winning two tournaments, including a Signature Event (The American Express, Truist Championship). He also has four other top-10 finishes. His biggest debt of the year was the major championships, where he posted most of his poorest results. He missed the cut at the Masters, the PGA Championship and the US Open, and finished tied for 52nd at the Open Championship. Straka has been playing on the PGA Tour since 2019 and has won four tournaments. In 2023, he made his Ryder Cup debut representing Europe, contributing one point in three matches to his team's victory.
