Viewster lays a smackdown with wrestling and martial arts deals
Viewster signs sports deals with UKs Top MMA promotion, UCMMA and signs TNA Wrestling along the way.

London, UK, XX March 2013 – Wrestling and martial arts fans can relive their favourite fights for free thanks to two new deals signed by Viewster, a leading subscription-free service offering ‘on demand’ movies and TV shows. The new deals mean that fans of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and Ultimate Challenge Mixed Martial Arts (UCMMA) can watch footage of pay-per-view events for free through Viewster’s video on-demand service. The first TNA title to be available is ‘Bound For Glory’, a professional wrestling pay-per-view event. Each ‘Bound For Glory’ championship features TNA wrestlers competing in various professional wrestling matches. Footage of all seven championship matches will be released over the coming months and around twenty classic titles from the TNA back catalogue will also be made available. Viewster’s deal with UCMMA, a mixed martial arts promotion based in the UK, brings titles including Stand Your Ground, Warrior Creed, Hands of War, Beat Down and Ultimate Challenge to a worldwide audience, on demand for the first time.

Footage of the latest 10 title fights will be made available on Viewster as well as upcoming fights which will be added regularly throughout the year. UCMMA has partnered with Viewster to extend the reach of its content internationally, especially to fans in the US and Europe where the titles are proving very popular.

UCMMA’s distribution company, Renderyard, selected Viewster because of the flexible business model which includes two distribution tiers, free streaming with ads or an ad-free subscription based service. UCMMA Founder, Dave O’Donnell expects the news to be a big hit with new and existing fans commenting, “There is never a dull moment in the world of mixed martial arts and we are proud to partner with Viewster to bring this high-octane sport to our loyal fans and reach a much wider audience across the world.

Viewster’s service opens up this exciting footage to a mainstream audience and gives the viewing public access to the content they want, when they want it. ” As with all Viewster titles, the TNA and UCMMA programmes can be watched on-demand, anytime and anywhere, for free and without being locked into a subscription.
