Fox Life has rebranded too many times already.

So they can easily accommodate more more rebrandings
Disney have to terminate all possible Fox names as it is an independent brand name. While large companies like Fox Studios will take time but small units may get rebranded soon.3 possibilities I see are
1.Nat Geo life
2.Replacement by History TV
3.Conversion to another channel
Earlier both espn and History had partnership with Fox-Star in India.Later both of them quit and joined with others. As a coincidence Disney bought espn and History tv major shares later aquired Star India. Now there comes possibilities to return espn and History back to Star with same parent company.

Saw an ad just now which stated that from July 15 UFC will be shown on TEN 2. Is it just a regular shuffling or bringing more variety to content on TEN 2 or does it indicate that ESPN partnership coming to end hence they r accomodating its properties on remaining channels?

Till now TEN 2 has been an exclusive destination dedicated to football, let's see what happens in 2nd half of 2019. Looks like soon A&E will also tie up with Viacom18 and History TV will be brought under Star-Disney umbrella

If UFC moves to Ten 2. ESPN will be worthless. They almost don't have anything else to offer. IMO SIX should stick with cricket. Ten 1 should have WWE, UFC, Impact Wrestling. Ten 2 should have football. Ten 3 everything in hindi and kabaddi. Sony ESPN should cover other sports like tennis, golf, hockey. Also documentaries, X games and eSports.

Sony Sports Network is very much serious about their Sports Business & so on they are trying to add more Sports Telecast Rights in its feathers.

They are also in planning to launch Sony TEN 4 & Sony TEN 4 HD with a huge Upcoming Sports Events (yet not disclosed which event will be) and also in planning that it will use the Library and Broadcast Rights of various Golf, Pool & other useful Stuffs of earlier Sony TEN Golf HD and also cater the market of Football Mega Matches with Sony TEN 2.

By that after the Launch Sony TEN 2 & Sony TEN 4 will be kept Reserved for Football along with Golf & other non Cricket Stuffs and other Broadcast Rights earlier kept with Neo Sports Network while Sony TEN 1 will focus on WWE / Formula One / Tennis with Sony TEN 3 will deep focus on Hindi Simulcast Coverages from their Network in between Sony SIX will cover full Cricket Stuffs over the year.

Now if & after exit of ESPN from Sony what will be the Future of Sony ESPN ? May be they will revamp the channel with Full Action of UFC / Tennis / Kabaddi / Polo / Hockey & other Sporting Events with 2 Probable Name Change. Either a) Sony TEN Select or b) Sony KIX.

So the Sports Desk of Sony asking their Subscribers to wait till the later half of this year 2019 as they will announce some Big from their End.

Keeping the Finger Crossed.

ESPN will be replaced by Sony Ten 4.

Nope. Sony Rox hd and le Plex hd licenses are being renamed to ten 4 and it's hd variant. So no chance of renaming

If espn break deal with Sony then espn should find new channel to exist and Sony can convert the current 2 espn channels to other names.
