UFC PPV's Move Exclusively To ESPN+

[Bio]

I don't know if these streaming services are the way of the future and will last or spreading consumers too thin. I've been an MMA fan since its inception but for the time being I'm moving to the streaming services for it or boxing.

Wow that kinda sucks. I guess I might look at espn+ because there a ton of fights every week that aren’t Ppv. I don’t like going out to watch fights because there’s too many knuckle heads, so I usually pay to stay in and enjoy it at home. I figure I already pay all that money for my place every month, might as well. And a night at the bar is uncomfortable and expensive. I used a link on reddit for the last fight and it worked really well. Wonder if that’s going to change now...

Not unless it's a free UFC Fight Night on regular ESPN. I just can't bring myself to pay for the streaming at this point. It will be interesting to see if enough people purchase the streaming option. It's a weird time for the UFC to make this move considering there aren't any blockbuster fights coming up. The only fight coming up that has any draw is Holloway vs Poirier 2. I think they're going to have a hard time getting people to pay more considering the fights they have coming up... https://www.ufc.com/events
