ESPN has been trash at least since y2k. Quit buying the PPVs or ESPN (a la cart).
He was this year. I think he’s hurt and out for a while again. Don’t take that for the gospel. I could be way wrong. His days as top dog are long gone.Tiger's still playing? I feel like he was a big deal when I was a kid, 25 years ago.
You don't have ESPN+?I set my DVR to record tonights prelims and main card. When I got home, I turned it on and there was college baseball on, so I didn't record any of the fights. Then I went to ESPN news, and saw two fights there. Then, college womens softball came on, and the fights went back to ESPN. I hate it, how ESPN puts all these fight nights on, stacked with 80% fighters I've never heard of, and put them on numerous other ESPN variation stations. It's impossible to DVR them! THEN, they are also the ones who have raised the PPV by $30-40 dollars since taking over, and again offering watered down PPV's, for the most part. I for one, can't wait for their UFC contract with ESPN to end, and hopefully go somewhere else. I hate ESPN. Is it just me?
Now that's funny, and pretty true!You are not the only one who hates espn, you are the only one who wanted to watch the prelims tonight.
Yes, but I'm an old fart who likes to watch the traditional way, of just turning on the TV and watching.You don't have ESPN+?

When UFC was on FOX Sports 1, UFC was their #1 mistress. Now UFC is the redheaded stepson of ESPN.
ESPN has turned into a social justice network. It's terrible and their ratings reflect it.
Now, you have no idea what time that's on on ESPN, if they have it.I miss the weekly Fox Sports 1 news segments with Florian, Bisping and others talking about MMA with other fighters. The fighters got to show more of their personalities and humor.

I don't like ESPN but this is Dana and the UFC changing the model. The PPV model is dead. This is the future of MMA. Sell some PPV's with low numbers and a lot Apex cards mixed in with a few Fight Night cards in various locations. It's a business first and sport second.I set my DVR to record tonights prelims and main card. When I got home, I turned it on and there was college baseball on, so I didn't record any of the fights.

If you don't have a smart TV you can get a Roku for like $10 and you can pull the apps up on your TVYes, but I'm an old fart who likes to watch the traditional way, of just turning on the TV and watching.
People still watch ESPN?
I gave up on them back in 2005.
I would honestly rather have 2 cups of coffeeGet espn+
For the cost of 2 cups of coffee a month, you get all the non ppv action.
