Unfortunately, it’s not the Ultimate Fighting Championship game that’s available in the AppStore, but the application designed for UFC fans. MobiTV provided the iPhone 3.0+ compatible technology in the background, allowing fans to grab pay-per-view content through in-app purchase option.
The first live stream went on September 19th, when former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin confronted former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
In addition to live events, fans can also use their shiny gadgets (iPhone or iPod Touch) to follow their favorite UFC athletes and access exclusive video-on-demand stories, interviews, breaking news highlights, weigh-ins, Octagon Girl bios, and view the schedule for upcoming UFC events.
The app itself costs a buck, whereas the first fight (UFC 103) was sold for $44.99, which sounds kinda steep to me…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
