It’s possible that an unlikely partnership could be responsible for airing UFC fights next year.

Rival networks ESPN and FOX Sports have teamed up to put in a bid for the UFC’s new TV rights deal, according to Variety.com, which reported the development today citing sources with knowledge of the proposal.

Here are some of the details, per the report:

According to sources with knowledge of the proposal, ESPN has signaled that it would be willing to pay $120-180 million per year to add the Endeavor-owned mixed martial arts league to its collection of live-event rights.

Fox, which currently pays $120 million per year UFC rights, would be willing see that number increase to a little more than $200 million. Fox’s current package includes four Saturday-night fights per year on Fox Broadcasting and a number of fight events on cabler Fox Sports 1 that has increased annually under its current agreement. A joint bid with ESPN would see Fox’s total number of events decline slightly.

Representatives from the UFC and the potential TV partners reportedly declined comment.

According to the report, as many as 15 UFC events could head to the new subscription streaming service ESPN+. The service launched this past week and costs $4.99 per month.

The current deal with FOX, which began in 2011 and ends this year, brings in an average of $120 million a year, with the price jumping to $160 million for this final year.

The UFC reportedly wanted $450 million per year – a nearly threefold increase of the peak price under the current deal – but in late 2017, FOX reportedly was prepared to make an offer of just $200 million a year.

Recently, reports have suggested the UFC was considering direct-to-consumer options for its event broadcasts/streams.

For now, though, negotiations are likely to continue behind the scenes with all of the major players.
