I'm rooting for Cejudo.

TJ is just too smug about going to become a Champ Champ and shutting down a division.

0%. What is way more probable is that ESPN does not get the audience it needs and then moves the UFC exclusively to ESPN+ except for 2-3 events a year. Remember that would will need to start jumping between ESPN+, Fightpass and PPV soon.
So we're expected to pay for non ppv fights AND ppv? I mean this is offensive. I'm surprised UFC is allowing it. This seems like a total disaster waiting to happen for UFC ratings.

So far, I'm not impressed with the ESPN+ app. Only the Spanish broadcasts are working for me. WTF

anyone know the details of the ESPN+ deal? There's a free week trial, but this ain't a very interesting event to me, so I might save it.. but I have no idea what will be coming in the pipeline

It's just not practical .

You can always just switch it up. Use a different email account and card each time

SAS in my UFC? Aw hell no

Between DAZN and ESPN+ I don't know which is worse. For being the two major sports apps, they do have extremely crummy service.

Signed up for ESPN+ , surprised they are only doing a 7 day free trial. Will be canceling soon, DAZN at least came through with 30 day free trial.

lol, Stephen A on UFC.

I'm sorry, but ESPN and UFC don't mesh. ESPN is too commercial while UFC is still that dudebro, butt metal, JUST BLEED promotion at it's core (no matter how much they've tried to change that in recent years.) The old days of Spike was always it's best fit.

Yeah so far UFC on ESPN feels like a complete diaaster, imo.

Get rekt, Brazilian Homer Simpson.

Blatant fence grabbing should immediately take away the position.

Still the same old tired TV production.

Give ESPN credit. Not one random cut to an empty arena or one of these moments yet:

Yeah, this could have been their chance to cut some fat and cut down to 4 great fights and air them at 8pm east.

Mighty Mouse is still the champ as far as I'm concerned. He should be fighting Dillashaw. Cejudo is going to be starched. Or maybe the judges will give another bs win to him for a couple successful takedowns.
