"FOX reached out to us and started these conversations months ago about the potential of developing this deal," Rebney told 💸 MMAjunkie.com.
The promotion on Tuesday announced a partnership with FOX Sports Latin America that covers 50 million homes in 19 Latin 💸 American countries, including Brazil.
The deal calls for taped programming through 2014 and 25 live "in-territory" events annually starting in 2015.
The 💸 news came as something of a surprise given the UFC's relationship with FOX, which is in the second year of 💸 a seven-year broadcast deal with the promotion.
The UFC is one of seven "pillars" of sports programming on the new FOX 💸 Sports 1 cable network, which airs its live events and shoulder programming.
