Anyone have fight pass? I have it and it's well worth it just for the fight library imo. Would love for them to include some type of PPV deal on there as well. Maybe like 20 bucks a month for the library, fight pass cards and like 6 PPV's a year or something like that. I know they aren't going to completely go away from the PPV on cable model.

I have it. i signed up for my free trial so I could get the Gus/Manuawa card and haven't cancelled it yet. I like the library but will probably cancel it soon. I don't think there is a fight pass card coming up that I will be mad I miss. I agree it would be cool if they could include PPV cards for some increased fee.

I have a great situation right now where I can easily walk to a non-chain type bar that shows the fights. It's not a fight starting crowd, and I know if get there about the time the main card starts I'll get a seat.

I stream all the big PPV and don't care if i miss some of the fight pass cards. There will never be anything big enough worth getting fight pass.

There are two fighters that will be on TUF from Muskingum County, I believe.

One is a Tri-Valley (Dresden) High School grad and the other is a John Glenn High School grad.

The UFC needs to do the same thing WWE is doing with their network. It's only 9.99 a month but includes every WWE PPV. If the UFC included every PPV and charged me $20 a month I would easily subscribe maybe even $25.

are people still able to sign up for the two free weeks I might sign up to watch Big Country tommorow and TUF Brazil

I find it hard to watch fights when I already know the outcome.

Yeah, the only way I'd watch a fight where I already know the outcome would be if I knew there was a kick-ass knockout or brutal sub in it. And I'd probably spend the entire time it was going on sitting impatiently wondering when the hell the good part happens.

Exactly. Most of the reason I watch the fights is for the suspense.

That was hard to watch, Nog has so many miles and injuries on him. He used to have a tremendous chin, body just can't take it anymore. Hard seeing a legend go down like that.

Just brutal. Nog was out on his feet basically before that, stumbling all over the place. Roy was just waiting to time it up. Nog had an all time great chin, sad to see when guys just get old quickly.

It's on the 26th, Glover has a great shot is he can get inside and get in the pocket. He is really well rounded, good wrestling, really good striking and good bjj. Also has that fight changing power. Jones may have been humanized after the Gus fight.

I meant for Shields. If it was just weed he should just say so.

Yeah, kinda like how Vitor should disclose his random test results that most people think he failed and is why he got pulled from the Weidman fight.

Yeah, if it's clean or something like weed then there's little reason for them not to disclose.
