@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?
-
Started following UFC late last years after the Aspinall eye poke infiltrated my algorithm. Gone down the rabbit hole big time since then..
For those interested, who's your money on for the Interim LW fight at 324?
I watched all of Gaethje's previous fights over the weekend, and damn he's gonna be a problem based on what I've seen from Paddy...

-
@worn2fade Yeah I plan on staying up watching, although just heard Moreno's fight is cancelled (?)
I aint watched UFC live in a hot minute as it destroys my routine the next day, as I'm in the UK haha
-
Actually looks like it was swapped out at the start of the month, I'm looking forward to Moreno's fight though
-
@Jord appears to be still on from what I can see. But dang dude, being in the UK must make it rough to watch them. Since it’s now on paramount I’d just watch it whenever is best for you and avoid any social media that can spoil it lol. They record and keep all fights which is pretty awesome.
-
@worn2fade Yeah it sucks sometimes, I normally wake up to watch them in the morning. Sometimes they're on early if they're in Abu Dhabi but you're right the paramount switch has been really nice.
-
Dude, WHY did they choose to have the Freedom 250 fight on a SUNDAY?! Why not saturday? Why not the 4th of July - on a SATURDAY, so people can actually watch it? I cant do that, i gotta be responsible and go to bed...so i can go to work the next day, and catch the highlights lol
-
@WhiskeySandwich it will still be an interesting watch, if a bit gimmicky. I liken it to the sphere show. People wonder how the atmosphere is going to be.
Picks:
Ruffy over chandler
Don’t care about O’Malley I hope he loses.
Lewis over Hokit
Gane over Perriera via decision
Gaethje stuns Ilia. -
@jordanscollected Oh I agree, they're just massively promoting an unusual spectacle. Its cool that they're doing it but it is absolutely silly. I'm sure conditions will not be ideal for the event, for fighter nor spectator. The fight card is good and it should be an awesome show, but they're totally going to lose viewers based on the timing.
-
I’m curious how an outdoor event will work with weather, bugs etc …
I bet the athletes would prefer a controlled environment.
-
I'm sure the conditions will suck lol I also wouldn't want to be there at all, seems like risky chaos to me.
and Tom, I love to root for an underdog but I don't think I could bet against Topuria either.
