From the press release:

 

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) organization today officially launched a new text alert service for mobile devices, giving fans the opportunity to receive UFC news as it happens, as well as event updates and other information about UFC.

Using the UFC web site, fans can indicate the specific kind of information they would like to receive via text messages, such as breaking news, event announcements, UFC programming reminders, UFC ticket presale opportunities as well notices of new UFC.com content, including unaired UFC bouts and other exclusive videos. The text message service is powered by 4INFO, the leading text message alert service company in the U.S.

To begin receiving UFC text messages, fans can visit the UFC web site, and click the Mobile link at the top of the page, or they can simply text the word “UFCNEWS” to 44636 (4INFO) from their mobile device to receive breaking UFC news alerts.

Users can choose to stop receiving text alerts at anytime by replying “STOP” to any message.

‘If you’d like to see Matt Hughes fight Matt Serra, text 31.
To see Matt Hughes eat shit, text 32’

My money’s on 32.

Way to drop $200 bucks a month on a shared code Dana.

That's great, but how does it affect Lyoto Machida?
