The last UFC title fight in 2012 will not be broadcast on an open channel in Brazil. Rede Globo was unable to release Ultimate and defend the title of junior gypsy before Cain Velazquez will only be shown on the Combate channel, via pay per view.
Under the channel's contract with the UFC, Globo has the rights to broadcast live all events held in Brazil – as happened in editions 142 (Rio 2), 147 (BH) and 153 (Rio 3) – and three more abroad , at least 30 minutes late. However, the Rio broadcaster has already broadcast these three fights outside the country.
As a curiosity, it was precisely the first fight between Cigano and Velasquez that was responsible for opening the Ultimate contract with Globo. On that occasion, the Brazilian knocked out the North American, in December 2011, and won the heavyweight belt.

putt= what the hell!!! I don't believe it!!! hello fdp globe
This globe makes you sfud
this globe has what sfud
This won't affect me at all, as numerous sites stream the fight for free over the internet, and other sites still host the full fight minutes after it ends.
and there is also the uol website that transmits the fight, in writing, of course, moment by moment.
anyway, globe for what? Leave Globo with the Roberto Carlos special and that ridiculous end of the year song. lack of creativity….
Great!!!! This way Galvão doesn't bother!!!!! hahahaha
