C More Sänder Alexander Gustafssons Titelmatch Mot Daniel Cormier I UFC 192 Från Houston 2015-09-16 12:00 CEST C More sänder Alexander Gustafssons titelmatch mot Daniel Cormier i UFC 192 från Houston Nu är det klart att C More visar Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafssons titelmatch mot nuvarande mästaren i Ultimate Fighting Championships lätta tungviktsklass, Daniel ”DC” Cormier. Titelmatchen visas live tidigt på morgonen den 4 oktober och kommenteras på plats i Houston Texas av Åke Unger och Ian Roberto. – Vi är väldigt stolta över att visa denna nagelbitare där Alexander Gustafsson kan bli bäst i världen. Det här är svensk idrottshistoria, säger Johan Cederqvist, sportchef på C More. Svenska stjärnan Alexander Gustafsson utmanar nu amerikanen och tidigare OS-brottaren Daniel Cormier om bältet i lätt tungviktsklass. Cormier vann bältet i en titelmatch i våras från samma Anthony Johnson som Gustafsson senast förlorade mot på hemmaplan i Tele2 Arena. C More är på plats i Houston med kommentatorerna Åke Unger och Ian Roberto. – Den här fighten är inte bara en globalt stor händelse för fightingfans, den är även viktig för EMEA-marknaden och speciellt för Sverige. Alexander Gustafsson är en otrolig atlet som upplevde nederlag på hemmaplan och som nu har chansen att ändra sitt öde, det är en fantastisk historia. Vi hoppas att fansen tittar på fighten och stödjer atleterna i sin strävan efter UFC-bältet i lätt tungvikt, säger Joe Carr, UFC VP International. Sändningarna från titelmatchen i UFC i Houston Texas börjar morgonen 4 oktober klockan 04.00. Matchen går även att ses på cmore.se och i C Mores appar.

  • Let's Get Ready to Unbundle!
    LET’S GET READY TO UNBUNDLE! It’s Time for the UFC to Offer Individual Fights for Purchase Nick Cornor Abstract A bedrock principle of U.S. Copyright law normally dictates that when a person steals your original work of authorship, a court should issue an injunc- tion and require the violator to pay damages. For centuries this principle has sufficed; however, a lack of deep-pocket defendants and continued lobbying efforts by internet service providers have made this principle untenable when applied to illegal online streaming. This is especially true for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts promoter that has seen its live broadcasts pirated over the internet at an alarming rate, thereby threaten- ing the bulk of its revenue. This Comment advocates that the UFC unbundle its current pay- per-view business model in favor of charging market-based prices for each individual fight. The primary benefit of this approach includes increased rev- enue for the UFC by enticing consumers away from illegal online streaming with lower prices. Potential adjacent benefits include reforming fighter com- pensation schemes, incentivizing fighters to promote their own individual fights, easing controversies regarding unionization efforts by the fighters, and providing the UFC with greater marketing data. Therefore, by unbundling its business model, the UFC will ultimately be able to bypass the shortcomings of U.S. Copyright law and take the lead in a digital media landscape already changing at lightning speeds. * J.D., South Texas College of Law Houston; M.A., University of Oklahoma, 2013; B.S. University of Texas at Arlington, 2008.
