MobiTV Inc. has made an iPhone app that lets users pay to see mixed martial arts fights from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The 99 cent app lets people see pay-per-view bouts and other events on their iPhone or iPod touch.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship sells much of its programming via pay-per-view. It’s owned by Zuffa LLC and is based in Las Vegas.

Mixed martial arts is a popular sport based on techniques from different martial arts such as Muay Thai kickboxing, wrestling and jujitsu. UFC puts on a dozen live events that are pay-per-view each year.
