History
Fight Pass showcases live and on-demand mixed martial arts, submission grappling, kickboxing, boxing and Thai boxing events. In addition to UFC events (with their flagship pay-per-view events appearing on the service around a month after their initial broadcasts), Fight Pass also includes content from the libraries of PRIDE FC, World Extreme Cagefighting, Strikeforce, Affliction Entertainment, World Fighting Alliance, EliteXC, Invicta FC, King of the Cage, Pancrase, Shooto and UCMMA.[5]
In September 2014 Invicta FC began live-streaming events on Fight Pass.[6] In February 2016, it was announced Fight Pass would begin streaming kickboxing promotions Glory and K-1, and the Eddie Bravo Invitational submission grappling tournaments.[7]
Although media subscription services tend to experience significant churn, UFC Fight Pass is believed to have approximately 250,000 subscribers globally, as of 2017.[8]
