UFC president Dana White believes all doors are open when it comes to the promotion looking into a new deal at the end of 2018.

White, appearing on The Unnamed Podvideocast, explained that going with a digital provider would be examined. The UFC is currently signed with FOX Sports through next year.

“Absolutely,” White said. “That stuff is all about to change. When I grew up, we had Channel 3, Channel 5, Channel 8 and Channel 13. And then the channel Sesame Street is on. Those are all the channels that we had, right. (Now) Nothing is on. I think that we have the type of content that people will watch. Not every fight that I put on is a mega fight and a fight that spills over into the mainstream, but I’ll get those twice a year.”

White also talked about why the UFC would work for digital compared to the NFL or MLB, saying “My content is quick, exciting and fun on any platform.”
