UFC President Dana White is not thrilled that ESPN opted to hike his promotions pay-per-view price, but he had no say in the decision.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month it was revealed that price of UFC pay-per-views was being bumped from $69.99 to $74.99.<\/p>\n

The price hike will commence at next Saturday’s UFC 270: ‘Ngannou vs. Gane’ event.<\/p>\n

While many fans and some fighters<\/a> voiced their displeasure with the news, UFC President Dana White wants folks to know he had nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have any say in that,\u201d<\/em> White told MMAJunkie<\/a> post-fight at Saturday\u2019s UFC on ESPN 32 in Las Vegas. \u201cWe gave the pay-per-views to ESPN, so yeah, that\u2019s their decision. You know how I feel about that stuff. I don\u2019t love when prices get raised, but it\u2019s not my decision. It\u2019s theirs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

UFC 270 is set to feature a pair of highly anticipated title fights. In the main event of the evening, Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane will clash in a heavyweight title unification bout.<\/p>\n

Also slated for the card is a long awaited trilogy fight between reigning flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and former title holder Deiveson Figueiredo.<\/p>\n

Dana White and company normally hold thirteen pay-per-view events per year. So being a dedicated UFC fan in 2022 will cost around $975.00 this calendar year.<\/p>\n
