UFC fights coming to Xbox Live

I'm guessing you can stream PPV events from the dashboard just like you can on your computer. Joystiq was super vague in order to say "OMG we have news first"

When you get tired of playing UFC games, you'll be able to watch the actual fights too. Microsoft just announced during its E3 2011 keynote that UFC matches will be available through Xbox Live.

But it's not entirely a passive experience: you'll be able to "call matches," and place bets with your friends to see who of your group bet on the right pugilist.

So would we access that through the dashboard or what?

I guess. It's cool that you can buy PPVs through it so if you don't have cable or whatever. You can do the same thing with Roku IIRC.

Wait so there's no free matches to watch on it? Cause if there's free stuff I'd probably watch it if I get really bored.

Doubt it. Fights on PSN store or OnDemand are 99 cents apiece.
