UFC India: ZUFFA announces four-year broadcasting deal with Multi Screen Media (MSM)

Quote :

Move over Super Fight League, you're no longer the top dog in India's mixed martial arts (MMA) scene.

That's because ZUFFA, parent company of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), today announced a multi-year partnership with Multi Screen Media (MSM) -- a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Television -- to broadcast UFC programming in India on MSM’s new sports channel "SIX."

From UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta via today's release:

"When we went to India over a year ago I felt the market held enormous potential for the UFC. India has a long history of martial arts and traditional wrestling like Kushti. Indian athletes have also demonstrated world-class levels in combat sports as evidenced by the country’s 2008 Olympic medalists in wrestling and boxing."

The programming deal includes live UFC events as well as pre-recorded specials from the ZUFFA tape library. In addition, fans can now access separate exclusive content at Facebook India and UFC Twitter India by clicking here and here.

Damn I could only find Fake Fighters

^^ Those are mostly Punjabi fighters from the state of Punjab (fake or not lol). India has many many languages and different types of people. Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam.
It's not just Punjabi Sikh's being overly macho and barbaric like how the media portrays lol.

India has some MMA gyms such as Tigers Gym and it looks like it's mostly South Indians.
I have a feeling MMA in India will be mostly South Indians, Tamil people, Sri Lankans, Madrasi people, and maybe very few not many Punjabi. Rarely traditional Hindu's.
