Roku programming seems to expand constantly, and their latest programming addition is access to pay-per-view UFC matches and related content.

UFC enthusiasts will be able to stream a lot more than just upcoming matches. Some of the available content includes archived matches, previews of upcoming fights, preliminary matches and special insider programming. All of this will get started on Saturday, May 29 with the Rampage vs. Evans light heavyweight match.

Pricing for access to this channel hasn’t been revealed yet, but it should be soon given the upcoming fight. In case you don’t have a Roku box but you’re interested before the big match, pricing starts at $79.99 for the standard definition edition and jumps slightly to $99.99 for the HD model.
