Paramount+ has made a major splash in the world of mixed martial arts with the unveiling of its extensive UFC Fight Archive, featuring over 1,400 bouts from more than two decades of fight history. The platform is now boasting an impressive library that spans multiple eras and fighters, including legendary icons such as Georges St-Pierre, Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey, and Brock Lesnar.
The archive has been organized into curated collections, allowing fans to seamlessly navigate through different periods of UFC history. The lineup includes full numbered events from various decades, a "Legends" section that highlights pivotal bouts from the sport's biggest stars, as well as sections focused on current champions and knockout-heavy compilations. To further enhance the viewing experience, Spanish- and Portuguese-language fight programs have also been added to the mix.
The timing of this archive launch is deliberate, with Paramount+ set to debut its first-ever live UFC broadcast later this month. The event will feature a high-stakes showdown between former interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje and fan favorite Paddy Pimblett, alongside bouts involving reigning women's bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison and Hall of Famer Amanda Nunes.
This significant development marks a major shift in the UFC's distribution strategy, as the organization is abandoning traditional pay-per-view for UFC events in the U.S. and Latin America. Instead, Paramount+ has emerged as the sport's primary streaming home, with all UFC content β both live and archived β now available to subscribers across its Essential and Premium tiers.
As the platform prepares to go live, fans can delve into the rich history of the UFC through this comprehensive archive, which is set to continue expanding with additional content on a regular basis.
