MMAlogic posted that UFC haven't received any more offers since the Variety article was announced. Looks like a last ditch effort to get an offer from NBC. The Variety article also made it seem as though all content would be going on ESPN+. MMAlogic says content will be going on ESPN1&2 with some on ESPN+. The wide estimate of ESPN's bid $120-180 million depends on whether ESPN buys fightpass streaming rights for the US.

Looks like the espn/fox deal is in its final stages... if nobody else steps up with a better offer soon thier deal is going to be announced soon.
In case you missed it here are the terms of the deal the UFC were negotiating a few days ago. Keep in mind mmalogic is a corporate shill, and anything he posts is meant to benefit the UFC.

Rumor on proposed split:
espn + streaming service will essentially be fightpass for us residents.
- fightpass library
- fightpass prelims
- exclusive fight nights
- espn fight night prelims
espn national cable networks (espn 1, espn 2);
- espn fight night main cards
- ppv prelims
espn regional sports networks (previously fox sports networks before Disney bought it)
- access to ufc library of content
fox networks (fox broadcast, fs1, fs2)
- contender series
- fight nights (main card and televised prelims)
- ancillary programming (unleashed, etc)
.......
espn will be pushing every ppv with complete coverage.
