The UFC has canceled a UFC 176 pay-per-view event scheduled to take place on Aug. 2 in Los Angeles, due to a non-severe neck injury to headliner Jose Aldo.

UFC will get rid of its pay-per-view model as part of its exclusive rights deal with Paramount on Monday, which will start in 2026 and run over the course of seven years.

Paramount will pay the UFC $7.7 billion to air the UFC for the next seven years and in the process, it has ended the fight organization’s pay-per-view era.

Dana White says the UFC will stage a fight card at the White House lawn next July 4 to celebrate America's 250th birthday. He will meet with Trump in two weeks.

In a major deal, Paramount scores exclusive rights to UFC events, signaling the end of the pay-per-view model currently used by ESPN.
