So this "groundbreaking" "nrw era" ufc card on espn is just the prelims on regular espn and the the main card on their paid sfreaming service? To have two of the most attractive female ufc fighters in the ring together and then not show them to an audience that has never seen mma before seems like a great idea.

Yea, I’m reading that. Seems confusing. Anyone know if this card is on ESPN or what?
A lot of people are pissed, so it must cost more money.

As far as I know prelims are on ESPN closing that with Cowboy/Hernandez then the main card moves over to ESPN+

Yep just looked on espn.com early prelims and main card are on espn +. There are 13 total fights on the card and only 4 of them are watchable on regular espn tv with the cerrone fight as the tv headliner.

A bit off track but there will also no longer be any more NYE PPVs as collage football will dominate ESPN at that time of year.

WTF! My Samsung doesn't have an ESPN APP so I have to get a firestick to be able to watch ESPN UFC fights? Directv doesn't have a "channel" for ESPN+. This streaming shit is fucked up and "SMART' TVs need to have every app and future app available.

I could be wrong, but I think this is going to hurt more than it helps. I am not going out and buying anything extra just to watch UFC. I had Fight Pass up until December but cancelled that.

Wanting to get more eyes on your streaming service is fine...show the prelims or even the early prelims like fight pass did. You dont do it on your first fight on the network though. If they showed a full night of fights on tv you would get way more exposure.

Yea, makes no sense. Not only that, but they’re not very fucking clear about what’s showing where.

This streaming shit is fucked up and "SMART' TVs need to have every app and future app available. Your complaints are totally valid. I'd be super pissed if my smart tv didn't have ESPN+ - it' s not like that's some obscure app nobody would ever use. But, as an aside, firesticks are super cheap and pretty great. I like mine enough I ended up with three total. But for now, as I'm sure you know, you can just hook up a laptop to your tv with an HDMI cord and watch that way. And get the ESPN+ seven-day free trial.

Yep.
So I had to switch from Sling Blue to Blue + Orange package just to get ESPN. Then on top of that, I have to pay $5.00 a month to watch ESPN+ on the app.
So all in all, I have to pay $20 extra a month to watch what I was already watching before.
The whole thing is irritating as fuck.
It would be different if they weren't doing PPV anymore and those cards were added to either the channel or app. Fuck no, they want to pull every last penny.

I might get the app on my phone, since I canceled fight pass. I’ll still be ahead $2/month. Then use HDMI from phone to TV.
But it’s still bullshit.

Is the UFC fight pass thing still around? Didnt that cost money too? So now they want people to pay for fight pass, espn+ plus the ppv cards?
Fuck that. I haven't bought a single ppv in over 5 years.

Holy shit.. I bet Dana is regretting this ESPN shit already. I just watched him in an interview with three ESPN idiots grilling him about Greg Hardy and whether or not he should be allowed to fight.

No such thing as bad publicity. Dana knew and strategically put him on the first ESPN card... The domestic and the fact he was in the NFL

Maybe because he has under 3 minutes of fight time against cans. All he has is name recognition..same as cm punk, and no one thought he should be on a main card. If name recognition is all you have they should want him to be seen by as ma y people as possible. Same readon the two hot girls should be on espn tv

No one is going to see him fight. It’s on ESPN+.
Dumb fucks should’ve had the whole first ESPN card on ESPN.

The dumb fucks have the whole fight card listed as being on ESPN. This is going to confuse the shit out of most people. Probably should’ve put a + by what’s going to be on ESPN +.
