Setanta Sports has acquired the exclusive broadcast rights to UFC programming in the UK and Ireland.

The multi-year deal covers all UFC UK fights in 2008 and 2009, and from July all other UFC fights will be exclusively live on Setanta.

The broadcaster added that supercards would not be made available on an additional pay-per-view basis and will simply air on Setanta Sports 1.
