India’s Anshul Jubli stands as the nation’s premier MMA sensation. The undefeated lightweight holds the unique distinction of being India’s lone representative in the UFC, leaving a remarkable mark from the start. While the whole nation is eyeing on him as he gears up for his octagon return at UFC 294 against Mike Breeden, there’s unsettling news for fans eagerly anticipating his fight—they might not catch this matchup on their TV screens. Discover the specifics below.
UFC 294: Indian Fans Might Miss The Action Of Anshul Jubli
Now, the ‘Kings of Lion’ is making a comeback to the octagon, headlining a Pay-Per-View extravaganza. Jubli is set to grace the UFC 294 event in Abu Dhabi later this month on October 21, squaring off against Mike Breeden. Despite the excitement surrounding his fight and being India’s sole representative, fans worry they might not catch the action on TV.
In India, UFC fans can catch the action on TV through Sony Sports channels like Ten 1 for English coverage or Ten 3 for Hindi. However, the coverage is usually limited to the main card, excluding the preliminary fights. Jubli’s upcoming fight is scheduled for the early prelims, raising doubts about its TV broadcast, given Sony’s historical trend of not airing preliminary cards.
For new fans of UFC, it’s essential to understand the event’s structure. The UFC event is divided into two parts: the main card and the preliminary card. The main card features well-known and high-ranking fighters, often the main attractions of the event.
On the other hand, the preliminary card showcases emerging fighters who are relatively new to the UFC and are in the early stages of their careers, providing a platform for them to gain experience and visibility within the company. And the boy from Himalaya will be the featured early prelims so fans might miss catching the action on TV.
