The new service will launch in the United States on December 1st giving fans access to previews, fight statistics, upcoming matches and most importantly the ability to stream the fight live - just like you would over a traditional cable box.
You won’t need to worry about converting the cost of the fight in to Microsoft points or fumbling with prepaid cards. The stream can be charged right to a credit card rather than using Microsoft’s proprietary currency. Pricing should be similar to cable providers. The average rate for a UFC fight on cable is around $45.00 USD.
Exclusive to the Xbox version of the streaming event is the Interactive Fight Card. This mode puts the stream of the fight in a smaller window on the left side of the screen. On the right side you are able to view statistics of the fighters such as their nationality, weight, reach and record. UFC also plans to stream real-time predictions for the outcome of the current match.
