UFC Fight Pass actually kinda sucks

Now, I know a lot of us here pay for this thing in an attempt to feel less guilty about (rightfully so) pirating UFC events... But honestly, this thing kinda blows. I don't know how many months I've been using it and just kind of trying to shrug off its (many) imperfections, that should be easily fixable? It's great for watching olllld fights, allegedly, but even YouTube outperforms it in cases where both have the fight. Because:

The playback sucks. Ironically, it's better on desktop/browser, and pitiful in the crapp. You seemingly can't adjust playback and back/forwards, resulting in aggravating chunks of 30 seconds skipped forward and back to catch minor details.

Fights take forever to come to the damn thing. Someone enlighten me: is there any actual purpose to keeping a PPV unavailable for rewatch, say, a week after the event? I wish I could say they had them all out a month after the fact, but they don't, and that's SUCH a ridiculously long time to miss out on discussion and rewatches. Is there ANYWHERE (legal) to rewatch the damn fights before fight pass? (No, I don't have ESPN+. Lul)

As well. Fights/events just missing. Not available for play despite being right there. The search is bad too. Idk. If you're like mid 50s and have nothing better to do than watch old ppvs from Pride than I guess it's good.
 
Look at this crap!

Huh? We pay for it. Multiple people can be logged into it, lol.
This is like having two people eat at the Green Valley Ranch Resort & Casino buffet using one ticket.
The Fertittas would break your legs.
Do you and your brother both deserve this delicious seafood medley because you bought one entry?

Justification of theft is just too common today.
And to think I used to respect you!

I swear that plate of food is more disturbing than any knockout, or injury, or cut in a fight that I've ever seen.
 
Fight Pass is fucking amazing although I do agree that there are some technical issues with it. I don't like that when you back up out of a search or a series of pushes you back to the top of the page.

I do however enjoy having about 20 current MMA promotions to watch on there. <{JustBleed}>
 
A lot of fights that are 3-6 months ago say they aren't available, when is the cut off normally so that you can watch?

Takes a couple of days for fight night main cards in UK and about a week or so for PPVs.

We don't have ESPN+ over here though.
