What a G. lol

 

[Deadwing88]

The PPV model is dead and you're complaining about the steamer who made it possible? LOL.

This place is hilarious.

Is it Sherdog.. if we don't complain.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Right so who's sharing their Paramount+ password with ya boy cuz I sure as hell aint getting another one of those streaming services

This is the best news as an MMA fan that I can recall in the last decade. I'm not exaggerating. The PPV model is dead. I read that and went six to midnight. We should all be rejoicing.

What the hell am I going to pirate now?

Man my little brother was all over that paw patrol shit. Then I got him a paw patrol cake for his 6th birthday and he told me paw patrol is for babies -_-

By the time you are 6, you are already all grown up.
He is probably a black belt on Sherdog and you don't even know it.

I've been watching NFL football on Paramount+ for a few years now. It's much better than ESPN+.

Espn+ was trash. Their player was broken and they never fixed it

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Since I'm the guy that hosts the PPV parties and is generally most in the know, they are all going to think I'm still paying $80 for a PPV.

MUslim Wrestling Championship moves to Paramount!

Paramount+, you can still get you European streams if you want though.

Charge $5 a head for increased cost if you don't already.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Damn that's at 120% increace from what they got from the espn deal.

UFC obviously dying

 

[jeff7b9]

Ok. ... well

This is very exciting as I will continue to pay actual money to buy the product thru the appropriate means as I have always done.

 

[bubbleboyjones]

Bro is upset that he doesn't have to pay $80 anymore

Im upset because I dont get to make fun of people paying $80 anymore

 

[David Street]

UFC & AEW on Paramount.
PFL & WWE PLE's on ESPN.

I liked both Spike and Fox. ESPN, not so much. Hopefully, Paramount will be at least as good as the first two media platforms. Quite optimistic about the post-PPV era.

 

[bubbleboyjones]

In 5 years time no one will see the Conors, Rondas And Jones as a somewhat (aspirational) reachable target. Contender Series sloggers coming ups

UFC is now rebranding to UCS (Ultimate Contender Series)

 

[AndrewSUFC]

Sounds like a big deal. I'll continue to watch illegally.
