“UFC fans all around the country can follow their favorite fighters and see UFC pay-per-view events and programs, starting with UFC 98 on June 1st,” said Dana White, UFC President. “UFC 98 was an incredible event, from start to finish, it’s the perfect event to kick off our new deal with SIC Radical.”

SIC will also show UFC® Countdown™, a one-hour program that takes an in-depth and exclusive look at UFC fighters preparing for an upcoming fight.

SIC Radical premiered in 1992 and today ranks as one of the top-10 most viewed cable channels in Portugal. SIC is available through all cable providers in the country, reaching approximately two million of the 3.5 million households in Portugal.

UFC television programming can be seen in over 100 countries and territories worldwide in 17 different languages. UFC is the largest pay-per-view content provider in the world and is the fastest growing sports organization in history.

The UFC just keeps expanding all over Europe, having access to 2 million of the 3.5 million in Portugal.  Is there anyone from Portugal that reads MMA4Real that can give us more insight on this deal?

This is a great development! I can’t even think of how many times I’ve been in Portugal and thought “damn, I wish I could watch some UFC!”

^ True that. That’s, like, my favorite Portugese television station, too.

I went to Lisbon in ’98, but had no desire to watch MMA.
