Update on UFC-FOX Negotiations

A quick follow-up on yesterday's story on negotiations between the UFC and FOX. MMAPayout.com has learned that the UFC is talking to FOX's entertainment division as opposed to its sports division. This was the company's same tack in negotiations with CBS and NBC. In theory, the promotion would enjoy greater editorial control as an entertainment property, which was reportedly a sticking point in its negotiations with HBO and CBS.
