@flannel-slut Agreed. Tom is the man. Hope they make it happen, or that the division just moves on without Jon....

Jones, love him or hate him, is pretty undeniable. Unreal fight IQ, even if his personality traits have always been questionable (along with the doping controversy). Has to fight Tom next, there's no way he can't dodge that and Dana White knows this too. Alex P isn't an option for him.

Massive UFC broadcasting announcement this morning. Moving to Paramount+ and ditching the PPV model. Everything will be broadcast on Paramount with a small monthly subscription and also many fights live on CBS. I am a massive UFC fan, but I really dislike the expensive PPV's.
I also hope they address the late start PPV start times (for the U.S. based viewer). Most events start at 9PM and end around midnight. That means the marquee fights are at 11PM and close to midnight (for the east coast that's 1AM). I'm hoping with this new broadcast deal they move them up a couple hours.

@jordanscollected that’s really cool news. I always wished they had a package like the nfl where you could get all the ppvs for a yearly or monthly price. Also when I lived in Vegas the fight times were awesome but now that I’m on the east coast and older I can’t make it to the main event without falling asleep haha

Late starts? You should try being in the UK staying up till 6am in the morning haha
Even when we got a UK UFC event, uncle Dana still pencils it in for a 3am main card start.
Anyways, curious to know how this impacts us over here. Does the coverage shift from TNT to Paramount in 2026?
