If you have already downloaded the UFC.TV app, you may still find the app icon on TV but will experience some unexpected technical difficulties while trying to run the app.
The more recent webOS TV versions (3.0 and greater) will not be affected by this unfortunate decision by UFC.TV App providers. So, models from the 2016 product line-up will experience no change in the service.
