  • Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos mentioned UFC on a recent call to company investors, as speculation rumbles on regarding where the market-leading MMA firm could be heading, after the expiration of its current broadcast deal with ESPN.

The article from MSN discusses comments made by Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos during a Q&A session with investors, where he addressed the company's interest in live sports content, specifically mentioning UFC and WWE. Sarandos highlighted that while Netflix has not traditionally focused on live sports, the company is exploring various content avenues to engage its audience. He noted that UFC and WWE could be appealing due to their storytelling elements, which align with Netflix's strengths in narrative-driven content. However, he emphasized that any move into live sports would be strategic, focusing on how such content could enhance Netflix's existing offerings rather than a shift towards becoming a sports broadcaster. This approach reflects Netflix's broader strategy of diversifying its content to include more live events, as seen with their recent forays into live comedy specials and other live programming.
