“We at Shamrock FC pride ourselves on being in business for almost 20 years while never having to compromise our morals or values. We have had other opportunities in the past, but have been looking for the right fit with the right people. A deal where we could get more eyeballs but keep our fight library and keep our options open long term. This is that fit. The team at UFA share in our belief that integrity still matters in this sport and we look forward to a successful partnership moving forward. This deal not only helps the organization, but gives the fighters an opportunity to showcase their talents to 115 million homes worldwide.”

“UFA is excited to be teaming up with Shamrock FC. They have a long, storied history, powerful partnerships and a great track record. I don’t know too many promotions that have even close to 300 events under their belt. It’s a testimony to Shamrock FC’s quality and tenacity and it always shows in their fights. We’ll kick off our coverage with Shamrock FC 289 and Shamrock FC 290, with more to come. Both are great cards and are sure to thrill our UFA audience.”
As Jay eluded to in his statement, Shamrock FC 289 and 290 will be the first cards aired in this new deal. Shows will be condensed to show the very best fights on each card in a TV friendly 1-hour time slot. Check your local listings for exact time and dates.
