Glad I bought tickets because it looks like Dish Network still hasn't worked anything out!

Yeah it seems a lot of providers aren't offering it.  Which kinda sucks that Dana doesn't care.

-edit- My bad guys, should have mentioned that UFC PPV's are still the regular price, but you can order their televised cards for 12.99.


if you can't watch this through your cable provider, watch it on UFC.tv for $12.99 and the prelims for 1.99 $. Stream is flawless (make sure you have a good connection, you can order it in HD or SD) if you do, don't freakout that there's no video player or anything showing up, it does about 10-15 minutes before the event.




UFC events are 50/50 for me, I either do good bad. Some of these matches are so even, who knows what could happen...

That's not a bad price if I was happy with my internet connection at home I would do that instead of getting the $45 PPV's.

I gotta assume they work something out eventually or else what's the purpose for the UFC switching to FOX Sports 1 if they lose more viewers? Or maybe they hope people will spend the $13 and watch it online and get more money that way.

Fox's idea with these channels are to compete with ESPN so if its not available it's gonna be hard to compete!

16 bucks for 13 fights in HD quality, no commercials, plus you get the walk-ins for the prelims, doesn't suck for me. Plus I don't have a cable bill for channels I don't watch and commercials if you watch the show live. If you order PPV's you get them for the same price minus the cable bill. Awesome.

I saw a commercial for it on DirectTV, but they still don't know anything about it... it's very odd.

I have Time Warner and they better get this damn channel. They already screwed us over eith CBS deal causing us to lose Showtime. I don't even watch TV really outside of MMA programming and my wife's favorite show Homeland. So Time Warner has almost completely eliminated my need for their TV service.

I'd rather buy it from the UFC than pay extra per month for cable, especially since there's no commercials.

It's a good thing I have Verizon Fios. It seems like a lot of people's carriers are not providing FS1 yet.

I have Dish Network, everything i've read and researched online shows that FS1 will take over the SPEED channel. This means i'll have to change my channel lineup, but that's fine. If you check the TV Guide for the SPEED channel in the future it also has a few hour long programs named Fox Sports 1. The writing is there, i just think they're not announcing anything huge until next week. Especially since FS1 programming doesn't even start until the day of the fight, literally.

I personally think there is nothing to worry about guys, i'll be changing my channel lineup Friday afternoon and expect everything to be a go when i DVR the fights on Saturday!

I spoke with Dish Network and they denied that it was going to be the speed channel but I think your right by the time the fights start I'm sure something will be worked out.

I also have DISH & I chatted with a rep that denied the change and gave me the runaround. I let them know that I will drop their programming if FS1 AND 2 are not included. I encourage everyone who has DISH to contact them. You're probably right bklettke but it's making me nervous.
