I think that I heard on tv that ESPN couldnt advertise for sporting events that dont air on one of their parent companies stations. I believe that came down fron Disney, who owns ESPN...unless Im badly mistaken. They can cover the sports news and what not but cant have advertisements and promos for stuff like the UFC since its only PPV and isnt shown on any of the stations owned by Disney or any of its subsidiaries.
