In order to take the premier international property to a wider audience base in India, SPSN has announced its plans to telecast marquee UFC events in Hindi every month starting with UFC^â 242. This initiative will offer millions of viewers across India the opportunity to watch the best MMA fighters inside UFC’s world-famous Octagon in English on SONY TEN 2 channels and in Hindi on SONY TEN 3 channels.
