Despite their deal reaching six years, the  UFC  and ESPN are both disappointed with their agreement, and the two powerhouses are on the verge of a split. After partnering with ESPN in 2019, everything looked great for the UFC, which was now being broadcast by one of the biggest sports outlets in the world. Some of the biggest moments in MMA history have taken place during their collaboration, but it now looks like things have turned sour between the business juggernauts. According to reports, both sides are dissatisfied with the recent state of affairs. Some concerns have been raised by the UFC with ESPN’s coverage. The promotion is upset with ESPN for the issues that occurred during UFC 313 ; a huge event for the company, as arguably their current biggest star was headlining the event.
