A recent uptick in UFC pay-per-view prices is here to stay for 2015, according to the promotion. In a statement released to MMAjunkie, the increase, which at this point is $5, is to compensate for rising costs in producing live events. “In an effort to provide UFC fans with the best possible matchups and highest quality programming, we have maintained the same suggested retail price for our U.S. pay-per-view events since February 2008 (UFC 81), with one exception – UFC 168 in 2013,” the statement reads. “As with most industries, our costs have gone up significantly over this period and we have determined it is necessary to institute a minimal cost increase beginning in 2015.
