The announcement that pay-per-view prices for UFC events would increase for the second consecutive year was understandably met with unhappy reactions from throughout the mixed martial arts community.

According to UFC president Dana White, the promotion has no input in the price of its premium events since it gave pay-per-view rights to ESPN as part of its broadcast deal.
“We don’t have any say in that,” White said at the UFC on ESPN 32 post-fight press conference. “We gave the pay-per-views to ESPN, so that’s their decision.
“You know how I feel about that stuff. I don’t love when prices get raised, but it’s not my decision, it’s their’s.”
UFC 270 is headlined by a heavyweight championship unification bout between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane, while Brandon Moreno will face Deiveson Figueiredo in a flyweight title trilogy in the evening’s co-main event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
