| http://www.mmamania.com/2011/6/6/2209546/e3-expo-2011-dana-white-announces-ufc-pay-per-views-on-xbox-liveThe Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), an annual video game conference in Los Angeles, was invaded, briefly, by UFC President Dana White. The leader of the world's largest fight promotion was on hand to bring news that his brand has entered into a new deal with mega-brand Microsoft to offer UFC pay-per-views through Xbox Live. Xbox Live is a subscription based feature operated by Microsoft Corporation to offer multiplayer gaming and digital media services to more than 35 million users worldwide. The price tag for said service runs around $60 per year. There is no word yet on when exactly UFC broadcasting will become available through the service but it's expected to be soon. On top of pay-per-views, White stated they will offer events like weigh-ins and fights on demand. | |

| Always wondered why you couldn't watch on PS3 or Xbox. Great move. | |

| I think that may be refereeing to the $5 a month charge for Xbox Live Gold. If it's not, than it is because they need $$$. | |

| Well they announced that they will have TV on the box too. I'd be ready to ditch my cable if they got HDNet. | |

| My cable is already ditched. I get my stream and netflix on through my laptop and box. Now can I order if I feel like it and still not need a cable box. Gangster. | |

| Even if it's stuff you can get on TV, still pretty cool, another plus for Xbox. | |

| They acted like you might get to see different angles on XBOX. Now I have more options on where I can watch the fights and in HD, instead of ordering on yahoo from time to time. | |
