The British Association of Mixed Martial Arts (BAMMA) is excited to announce that, for the very first time, Mixed Martial Arts fans around the world will be able to experience BAMMA 5 LIVE via BAMMATV.com
Vice President of Business Development, Liam Fisher said: “We want to do everything we can to grow this sport and show fans outside of the UK exactly what our country has to offer. This is just one step towards this goal.”
“We’ve been looking at international streaming for some time and it makes total sense to kick this off with BAMMA 5. Paul Daley Vs Yuya Shirai is one of the most internationally significant MMA fights so far this year and bridges together 3 different MMA promotions. It would be a crime to not show this fight around the world.”
BAMMA has already been pioneering in bringing MMA to mainstream UK audiences live on non subscription, non pay per view TV: SyFy channel will be hosting all five BAMMA events this year starting with the much hyped BAMMA 5. Now with its live streaming BAMMA crosses new frontiers in bringing the cream of what the UK has to offer to fight fans across the globe.
Over 835,000 viewers tuned in to watch BAMMA 4 which saw Alex Reid and Middleweight Champ, Tom ‘Kong” Watson go to war in a live televised bout making it the most viewed UK MMA event ever. With the new SyFy and streaming deals in action, BAMMA is truly leading the way in establishing British MMA on the world stage
The PPV will be priced at
- $10 for the live broadcast
- $5 for a repeat screening via On-Demand
- $12 for the live streaming plus unlimited on-demand for 7 days after the event.
The site goes live at 9am EST on Monday 21st February

About BAMMA:
BAMMA (The British Association of Mixed Martial Arts) is the UK’s premier MMA organization that launched in June 2009 with the aim of delivering Mixed Martial Arts events that fully capture the entertainment and sporting prowess on display in the world’s fastest growing sport. To achieve this aim, BAMMA brought together a team of skilled individuals with a wealth of combined experience across Television Production Event Organisation and Mixed Martial Arts and set out to push the boundaries of British MMA. BAMMA’s combination of arena sized venues, stunning fight cards and exceptional production values has led to BAMMA’s unrivalled position as the UK’s leading MMA promotion and most recognisable brand. With a highly experienced team and a presenting crew that includes OJ Borg and MMA legend Pierre Guillet, each BAMMA event always delivers a highly anticipated and unique Mixed Martial Arts experience.
Current UFC middleweight tyrant Anderson Silva is currently scheduled to face fellow Brazilian Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort in early February as the next defense of his middleweight title, but he is already mulling around ideas for his next fight.
It may not be a career just yet for Randy “The Natural” Couture.
