No M-1 Challenge 64 on Fight Network tomorrow?

[JArkin770]

I tweeted to Fight Network and don't see it on my Channel guide, but Im curious if anyone knows why M1 Challenge 64 wont be live on the Fight Network tomorrow. A little over a year ago, they signed a deal to air all M1 Challenge events live. I want to see the event tomorrow but disappointed it seemingly won't be on Fight Network, anyone have any information as to why it's not going to be on there?

From what I understand M-1 gonna show tomorrow's prelims at youtube and main card you can watch at Match TV (people here watched Rizin through Match TV website). Sorry for the offtop.

Yeah. I just got a response from Fight Network through their twitter account. They said they currently do not have a contract to air M1 Challenge events live. I guess it was just a year contract for 2015, bummer!

Will watch through M1 Global TV site, a very small fee each month to watch the events Live and in HD and have access to their past backlog of events.

Alway free if you guys look up Russian tv and find the channel Russia 2

It's live now

That site sucks ass, I paid my $3 and the stream freezes up every 5 seconds. If you refresh is just replays the same 5 seconds and then freezes again.

Here's a match TV link, but you need to use Hola or another VPN if you're not in Russia

Fights are happening in the background but they're showing Vadim and the hosts talking instead... this is pretty frustrating.

The m-1 website stream is horrible worst stream I've ever used

 

[Zach The Maniac]

Why are the fights happening on the m-1 stream but there not live on match TV? The main card was live and Bramchuk beat Racic last I saw but I couldn't handle skips every 5 seconds

 

[Zach The Maniac]

Ok it looks like the fights are finally happening on Матч ТВ!!

That's what I was wondering. Seems OK now

 

[Zach The Maniac]

That was a good fight, Vitruk had him hurt several times

i know m-1 has the hybrid ring/cage, but anyone who argues that boxing ropes prevent wall and stall should really watch this fight

It prevents it, but it doesn't stop it

Unlike the cage, it's much easier to create space to get off the ropes in a ring, if you want to. If two fighters are both tired and decide they want a break then they're going to take a break, regardless of the rules and setting. And if one of the fighters has much better upper body control then he can still control his opponent.

The M-1 ring could be a bit bigger but the design is great imo.

I guess volkov just wasn't motivated enough to get off the ropes...

 

[Phrozenspite]

nice comeback by volkov

 

[BeardotheWeirdo]

The first round was boring, but the comeback made up for it

Volkov's wrestling leaves a lot to be desired

 

[Zach The Maniac]

Volkov still showed how terrible his takedown defense is, if he wants to be successful in the states he will have to improve tremendously on his TDD

Fight Network didn't have Enfusion last week either and doesn't have ONE listed either. I buy it to watch those promotions and it seems like they only show random events.

One is at 7am tomorrow morning, and they have the RFA event on live tonight at 10pm!

I hope they start airing live DEEP events.

Their site hs ads for RFA WSOF and UFC Sunday but no mention of ONE. Hope they show it if I'm waking up at 7am on a Saturday.
