UFC and Xbox team up for free fight promo

This is a quick article as a headsup to UFC fans out there.
UFC and Microsoft have teamed up (sponsored by the Marines) to make UFC 141 Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem free, as long as you watch it via Xbox Live on your Xbox 360.

All you have to do is log in to your Xbox Live and download the UFC app from the Marketplace. From there, you can "purchase" the fight and the checkout will show up as $0.

The fight itself is next Friday, December 30th. For more info on the fight, check the official page: http://www.ufc.com/event/UFC141

Thanks for letting us know, I'm definitely going to watch this fight on my 360.

I wonder if it's only this match for FREE or all of the UFC 141 matches will be FREE on the 360?

It told me it was sold out as well but I still got it? It then proceeded to check my connection to make a recommendation for SD or HD. I now have the count down timer on the App counting down to the time of the fight.
