UFC and Bellator now on FOX Sports?

It's South America's version of espn. Pretty much everyone with a tv down there gets it. Its the south american equivalent of the UFC being on in prime time.

No, it's not. It's like the SPEED channel of South America.
 
UFC might be too comfortable with the fox deal and haven't been doing all they can to bring in the highest ratings possible. They could have been putting much better cards together and doing things to promote them for example. Maybe fox is signing bellator to light a fire under their a$$e$ and get them to really compete and try to blow the bellator rating out of the water every week as opposed to "I'm not worried" and "it's all a part of the building process for the new channel" or "the numbers are actually phenomenal"

No, the UFC has deals with the bigger/better stations. FOX L.A. could not land the UFC, so they landed the runner up.

FOX Sports 1 is getting terrible ratings, the UFC is basically saving them. Their average primetime viewership is 161,000. The first UFC show did 1.8 million. Over 10x their average ratings.
