“On December 8th in Las Vegas (USA), the Kazakh fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov defeated the Irishman Ian Garry.
Domestic television viewers were able to see this fight on various foreign platforms, except for state television channels. So why don’t our channels show performances of Kazakh fighters? The fact is that the rights to broadcast mixed martial arts (MMA) fights held under the auspices of the UFC in Kazakhstan belong to the Setanta Sports company.
