DEFENDING champion Robbie Lawler and challenger Carlos Condit, considered as two of the scariest fighters in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, will headline the UFC 195 in what is billed as the matchup for the ages on Sunday (Jan. 2, 2016 in the United States)
The fight will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be aired courtesy of Cignal TV for its cable TV subscribers on Hyper 53 TV.
This was announced by Hyper 53 TV vice president Vito Lazatin following the signing of a three-year deal with UFC executive vice president and general manager Kenneth Berger at the Sede Hotel at the Bonifacion Global City in Taguig.
“2016 is truly a year to look forward to. It’s going to be great year for sports and for Cignal subscribers. The Octagon has a new home with Cignal as the exclusive Philippine broadcaster of UFC,” said Lazatin.
Starting on Jan. 1, Cignal will bring extensive UFC programming starting with UFC 195, which will be the first live event of 2016 to be aired to Filipino households.
