The UFC signed a deal with Fox Sports Net, after Fox agreed to broadcast one fight in June 2002, during its 'All-Star Summer' that month. In July 2009, the UFC held its unofficial 100th 'numbered event' however, officially, despite being called UFC 100, it was actually the 101st numbered event (not to mention the 133rd event overall). In January 2014, as part of the organization's global expansion, the UFC began airing various international events exclusively on their subscription-based digital network, UFC Fight Pass.

As such, events taking part in significantly different time zones, including UFC 70, UFC 75, UFC 89, UFC 95, UFC 105, UFC 120, UFC 122, and UFC 138, were given a same-night airing in U.S. Events such as UFC 72, which took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, were sold on pay-per-view, but due to tape-delay, purchase rates were not as high as events that aired at a traditional starting time.
