How much live UFC do you watch?

like 20 years ago up til about 10 years ago i'd watch some live stuff. But pretty much never anymore. I watched the last event live and it was a terrible decision. Was bored most of it and just pausing it and doing other things so that when i came back i can fast forward past garbage in between fights.
 
all of it since circa 2005 but i have to be honest: my passion about it took a hit with the Conor's era but it survived, now coming from the pause of dec 2025-jan 2026 when i didn't miss too much the usual weekend event i found myself surprisingly disinterested and the last two events didn't help.
 
90-95% ... I only miss it if I must. But don't get me wrong ... there are a few fights each event where I'll go outside and smoke , clean and wash dishes / clothes ... etc.

Paramount is saving me around $799 a year now... so I might take a vacation this summer.
Yo bro! Lez road trip in my hellcat Durango!

I only watch live when it's on at a reasonable time in my country. Mostly I watch the next day and skip through the ads/talking heads etc.
 
Literally all of it.

I've seen every fight the UFC has had since around 2008 when Griffin beat Rampage, except for the GSP/Shields card because I was working overseas and the country I was in didn't have good enough internet.

Back then there was no fight pass or streaming really and I couldn't afford PPVs so I downloaded every card a few hours after it aired. I watch every fight live now though.

Used to be the same for Bellator back in the day but eventually dropped off that and stopped watching every fight.
 
Lately, just some prelims(not early)/main cards for numbered events.

Sometimes I watch fight nights depending on the bouts on the card, however I'm trying to get more into it again. Issue is some of these events drag with the amount of advertising and dull fights.
