Sorry, UFC fans in Canada. If you’re planning to watch UFC Fight Night 50 on Friday, you’ll have to find a computer screen instead of a television set.
UFC events typically air in Canada on one of the Rogers Sportsnet platforms; however, that won’t be the case when the UFC hits Foxwoods Casino Resort in Ledyard, Conn., with one of the most anticipated UFC Fight Night events in recent history.
Scheduling conflicts with a Toronto Blue Jays MLB game and WWE wrestling have forced the UFC off television and on to UFC Fight Pass, the organization’s online subscription network.
“Looks like Friday’s UFC event is Fight Pass Only,” Sportsnet’s Joe Ferraro announced on Twitter:

[b]Looks like Friday's #UFC event is Fight Pass Only. I can only assume that Blue Jays and long tie WWE product will not be bumped. Sorry folks[/b]

UFC Fight Pass subscriptions cost $9.99 per month and provide access to not just UFC Fight Night 50, but also numerous other live events, past fights and a variety of exclusive content.
Sportsnet has been home to essentially every live UFC event over the past several years, but with UFC Fight Night 50 running on Friday – not a usual Saturday-night slot – it appears the organization was unable to find a way to televise the event live in Canada.
