Has the UFC been replaced?

Starting 2019, FOX will televise 4 bowling shows on Fox and 25 bowling shows on FS1.

Thats pretty much the same as the UFC deal

The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and Fox Sports today announced a multi-year, multi-platform agreement making Fox Sports the new television partner for the Go Bowling! PBA Tour starting in 2019. The package will bring a substantial schedule of live PBA events to television, including prime time events and a new bracket-style, multi-week PBA Playoffs tournament that concludes with a unique PBA championship finale. The announcement was made by PBA CEO and Commissioner Tom Clark and William Wanger, Fox Sports EVP, Programming, Live Operations and Research.

"The PBA has been searching for the best possible broadcast partner to serve our fans, players and the bowling industry, and we have determined that partner is FOX Sports," Clark said. "We are particularly excited that the PBA Tour returns to broadcast television, where it started 56 years ago, with shows on FOX next year."

In 2019, Fox Sports will televise four PBA Tour shows on FOX and 25 on FS1 in a series of two-hour telecasts. All programs will also be streamed on Fox Sports GO. Details pertaining to the FOX Sports-PBA package regarding PBA Tour locations, dates and times, and the television announcing team will be released at a later date.

"FOX Sports is thrilled to add the highly rated PBA Tour to our extensive lineup, joining other sport partners including the NFL, the FIFA World Cup, MLB, NASCAR, MLS, UFC, NHRA, Supercross, USGA, COLLEGE FOOTBALL and basketball, and others," said Wanger. "We believe that adding a Fox Sports look and feel to bowling will help bring the sport to a whole new level."

I wonder if any hot females are pro bowlers
 
Bowling will be the biggest sport in the world within 10 years
 
Bowling? Lol only in America would people watch that shit on TV
 
UFC to Contenders and Bowling to Heavyweights?
 
The sport of kings will finally be in the spotlight.
 
Does that mean there's zero money left for a UFC deal? Does that mean we're only going to get to see UFC by renting the vhs tapes from Blockbuster?

I've got 2 working vcr's but my Blockbusters will have to reopen.

Funny enough bowling legit used to be the most popular sport in the US like fifty years ago. The first million dollar "sport athlete" sponsorship contract ever signed went to a professional bowler.
