Delay clause obliges Globo to broadcast UFC events with a 30-minute delay. Photo: UFC/Disclosure
As is already common in the events of the Ultimate numbered series, Rede Globo will broadcast the duel between Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman – this Saturday (6) – 30 minutes late. But according to the “Radar Online” column on the magazine’s website Veja, this is an issue that bothers the broadcaster and will be addressed when renewing the contract with the UFC.
According to Lauro Jardim, who writes the column, in the next contract between Globo and Ultimate, the Rio broadcaster will try to review the clause of delay – which exists to preserve sales of pay-per-view. The current link between the largest television network in the country and the main MMA organization on the planet was signed in 2011.
In the early hours of this Sunday (7), Rede Globo broadcasts only the main fight of UFC 162: between Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman. Galvão Bueno, the station's main narrator, is off the broadcast. Cléber Machado runs the attraction.

Globo does not broadcast the fight live and delays the live broadcast by 30 minutes. This country's demonstration should be against Globo, which is rubbish
