Not only did Conor McGregor help UFC Fight Night 46 become the biggest event in UFC Fight Pass history, but he also gave 3e, the UFC’s new Irish broadcast partner, its biggest sporting broadcast in channel history. UFC Fight Night 46 took place this past Saturday, July 19, at The O2 in Dublin. Ireland’s McGregor (15-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) scored a first-round TKO victory over fellow featherweight Diego Brandao (18-10 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in the headliner. The event, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass in most of the world, aired on 3e in the host country. Back in June, the UFC announced announced the 3e partnership, which marked its first free-to-air broadcast agreement in Ireland. The channel, which is part of the TV3 network, aired the main card.
