Microsoft released another wave of video apps to the Xbox 360 on Tuesday that includes UFC on Xbox LIVE and VUDU for the United States. UFC on Xbox LIVE lets users purchase pay-per-view fights to stream through their console along with addition content such as weigh-ins, fighter interviews and other promotional videos. It also lets you pick winners of the fights and compare them to people on your friend's list. Better yet, UFC 141 featuring Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem on Friday, December 30 is free when you watch it through the Xbox 360 app.
