Setanta Sports has announced it will screen UFC 85, live from the 02 Arena in London on June 7th 2008.  The main event will see one of the biggest stars in combat sports coming to London, England for the first time.  UFC 205-pound champion Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell will give UK fight fans what they’ve been waiting for - his bout with English, unbeaten light heavyweight contender “Sugar” Rashad Evans.

News of UFC 85 on Setanta, follows the announcement earlier this year that Setanta Sports and The Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC) have signed a multi-year deal.  From July 08, Setanta Sports 1 will be the exclusive home for all of the UFC’s big UK and US fights, plus all other UFC programming, in Britain and Ireland. 
 
UFC fans should note that UFC 85, as with all the UFC supercards on Setanta, will NOT be on a pay-per-view basis, but available to Setanta Sports subscribers at just £9.99 a month, reinforcing Setanta’s position as a premium sports broadcaster offering superb value to sports fans.
