The unit per se works in the UK from what I've been told. Each content provider may block based on ip-derived location; for example, netflix won't work in the UK when it determines that your Roku box comes out of a UK ISP and I doubt Amazon VOD does (but I don't know that for a fact). Whether UFC is blocked remains to be seen, but my guess is that if the service is being hosted by one of the major content servers, it's trivial for this kind of block to be enabled.

I'm in the UK and Amazon does not work. Some Podcasts do not work either like the HBO "How to make it in America".
