    To be fair they had a contract a while ago. UFC branched out into deals the ESPN deal doesn't cover.

    Other sports have their fans too. MLS was already scheduled, I agree it's **** but people asked, and they got it anyway.

    They could've said no. And yes it is live on UFC.tv

    This isn't the only issue. Gustafasson card was 2 hours late. MMA Live has come and gone, they keep changing days. They consistently **** us over with Friday Night Fights.

    Not impressed. When the UFC leave in August then 90% I'll drop ESPN.

    I get ESPN for free but I might ask them to take it away anyway out of spite :twisted:

    The Fuel card is also outside the normal contract. A live football game overrun. I know that MMA is still not huge in this country. We have Sky+ and whatnot, we can stay away from the net. **** happens.

    We get Korean Zombie Vs Poirier live in just over a week, also a late addition. They do try, and they're not making much money so I'll continue to subscribe until contract renegotiations happen in August.

    I'd really love it if FX got everything :yep

    Despite football begin the biggest sport in this country, I've never met a single person who watched a MLS game but I've met numerous people watch UFC. I've certainly not known a football fan to stay up for a game but to fight fans it is common.

    Like you, in August, I'm keen for FX HD to get the whole lot. I'm sure they have the flexibility in their scheduling to accommodate weigh ins, press conferences, side shows, events etc Other channels won't have that flexibility. Maybe Sky can as they have 4 sports channel and even Sky Atlantic if they really wanted to give it the American spin. Dana's alluded to FX contract helping so who knows.

    I actually think a UFC channel could work over here as a HD Sky add-on, but like the F1 pack where you don't have to pay any extra if you already subscribe to Sky Sports. Doubt they could justify making you pay PPV like they do WWE...then again let's hope FX gets it :lol:
