Crazy that Anderson is on Fight Pass.

 

[Anoregon]

So is this not PPV?

edit: oh the timing is bad for the US, that makes sense.

 

[Lightning Count]

So is this not PPV?

Nope free on fight pass only. It won't be on TV either.

 

[Maoyama]

Crazy that Anderson is on Fight Pass.

UFC hired a Top former exec from Yahoo-Direct TV with the promise of letting him run Fight Pass. You know this dude is pulling some massive leverage behind the scenes to get this service up and running in a big way.

 

[Kelsdesu]

Why so early?

 

[BronsonLee]

Crazy that Anderson is on Fight Pass.

I remember being shocked that freaking Gustaffson was on Fight Pass one time

And now Silva

 

[Carl2291]

Askham trains at the same gym as me, so I'm hoping he gets his win.

 

[Anoregon]

Why so early?

It's in the UK

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Man, I haven't heard about Bisping in YEARS. Out of the loop for real. That's a trip.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

This is his first fight since Nick Diaz right?

 

[Lightning Count]

This is his first fight since Nick Diaz right?

Yes I will be interested to see how he performs since he won't be roided up this time.

Oops forgot to include the date in the topic title.

So what date is it? Or am I blind and just not seeing it

 

[Lightning Count]

So what date is it? Or am I blind and just not seeing it

27th of February aka tomorrow.

 

[Keen]

27th of February aka tomorrow.

Thanks!

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

You should add the date in the OT.

 

[Mafro]

Crazy and dumb it isn't on UK TV at all. The big Fight Pass shows are usually picked up by Channel 5 or Pick TV.

 

[Camwi]

I enjoy watching Bisping get knocked the fuck out, so I will be watching.

 

[Obliterator]

Stream is about to kick off. I still get this feeling Bisping will win

 

[Obliterator]

Man that was a nasty KO. Beautiful uppercut

 

[Lightning Count]

I hope Bisping does win just for the amount of butthurt that will ensue.

Just eating then I am going into the arena.

Ah nice you are there Live tonight? Have fun! This is a big fight to put in the UK, probably one of the best fights the UFC has put on there

 

[Insane Metal]

I'm Brazilian and used to support Anderson Silva. But I didn't really know anything about him, when I found out how he acted inside the octagon with his opponents... yeah, I'm not supporting him anymore. What a complete idiot.

Not even on BT who have the PPV's. The viewing figures in the UK will be minimal for probably the biggest card here. Shot themselves in the foot imo.

They are trying to grow Fight Pass with a huge card, due to the slow death of TV. A lot of people are cable cutting now days so they are trying to put bigger and bigger cards on Fight Pass. I can understand it being frustrating for people though

What? Taunting is legit.

 

[Lightning Count]

Here we go. Time to find my seat.

Have fun man!

They showing the fight?

So, what have we got here?
Tonight we'll bring you live updates on the event - a 17,000 sellout at London's O2 Arena - the best analysis and the key chat on social media, plus video clips from every fight.

Looks like its text at the moment. Bit confusing.

 

[Weckum]

So far fights have been awful.

 

[pixelation]

I find it funny that i'm still not sure who's going to win... Bisping or Silva, it's 2016 after all.

 

[Obliterator]

So far fights have been awful.

First two were incredible performances / finishes. Beautiful uppercuts

but since then yes, been rough

Oh crap, I tuned in at the third fight.

Also, I think that KO was inside the bell.

Edit: Okay, that was awesome.

 

[Obliterator]

Holy damn walk off head kick KO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Carl2291]

Yesssssss

This is pretty big, no? I feel like it is. Its only a short while ago (well, 2 years) that the biggest fights started getting their first mentions on the website. They are also covering it live on the website, its on the main page. Hopefully a turnaround in British coverage of MMA.

 

[Weckum]

War Makwhan.

 

[Obliterator]

This card is heating the hell up. Last two fight have been / are awesome

Considering we've gone from live TV shows to live text updates I'd call this a massive step back for UFC in the UK.

Terrible ref though. "keep working or i stand you up" when the other guy is in full mount and both are throwing punches.

Yeah, that didn't make that much sense to me either.

 

[zsswimmer]

Is Fight Pass still saying the stream will begin shortly for others? Just hope it isnt me

Apparently I needed to click the live button, I assumed once I played it it would go live by itself
