UFC Fight Pass is the future of the league, and by extension of mixed martial arts itself, and it just got bigger, better, and badder. Alaska Fighting Championship (AFC) has struck a deal to live stream future AFC fight cards on the UFC digital streaming platform.
In addition to live streaming,UFC Fight Pass has also acquired the rights to the entire AFC fight library. This includes over 130 events that featured athletes like UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Mighty Mouse Johnson, Rich Franklin and Jeremy Horn.
AFC was recently featured on episode two of the popular series Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.
This has been the craziest thing to happen to AFC in over 12 years of events, said AFC president Sarah Lorimer. We are so excited to make this deal with UFC FIGHT PASS. This will give people the ability to access our events from all over the world. This deal will allow our fighters to showcase their talent to millions of people.
Alaska Fighting Championship is Alaska’s premier Mixed Martial Arts event. Founded back in July 2004, AFC 1 featured an action-packed night with UFC veterans Jeremy Horn and Rich Franklin. AFC has come a long way in cultivating its own professional fighters, some of which have fought in the UFC. Much like the days of discovering gold in Alaska, the AFC has mined many a gritty competitor from the ranks of hardy, Last Frontier Alaskan men and women. The reputation of tough Alaskan men and women and the harsh elements they train in has attracted global attention.
The UFC Fight Pass Library now has over 12,000 fights, and the UFC adds hundreds more every month. MMA organizations includes UFC, Strikeforce, PRIDE FC, WEC, Affliction, EliteXC, Titan FC, WFA, Invicta FC, Pancrase, King of the Cage, Cage Rage, Extreme Challenge, XFO, UCMMA, Hook N Shoot, TKO, King of the Cage, IVC, IMMAF, Shooto Brazil, Tuff-N-Uff , EFN, GLORY, EBI, and now AFC.
UFC Fight Pass also live streams a number of events including Pancrase, Invicta FC, Titan FC, Shooto Brazil, EBU, and of course AFC.
Check out the schedule of live events. The first live AFC card to be broadcast to customers in over 200 countries, exclusively on UFC Fight Pass will be AFC 125 on Wednesday, Sept. 28.
