And this Friday marks the latest event for fans dubbed ‘Power Slap 12’.
Before then, the first 11 cards had been on video platform Rumble.
They had paid $30million a year to broadcast the Power Slap League exclusively.
But that deal has now finished.
And Forbes claims UFC chief White has now penned a new agreement with YouTube.
It means fans can watch the latest Power Slap instalment for free on Friday.
White and his league are not getting a media rights fee from YouTube.
However, that has been offset by a new six-year deal worth $76m with blockchain platform VeChain for naming rights.
And it’s reckoned that Power Slap chiefs remain locked in talks over a further two sponsorship deals which would take total revenue to more than $35m a year.
Reports also claim that White rejected offers from three cable channels in order to get the Power Slap League on YouTube.
He told Forbes: “At the end of the day, this thing was built on the internet.
“I already know the sport works; now it’s about delivering as many eyeballs as possible.
“I don’t sit around and f*****g wait for anyone or anything. I believe in Power Slap, I’ve seen how it performs.
“I know what it can do so we go out and just f*****g make s**t happen. We went out and did our own rights deal, and we’re going to do it ourselves.”
