This is the 5th time I've seen the main event cut off part way through the fight because the show ends at eleven. If your going to broadcast it at least get the times to line up.
Dana White you suck!
I'll stick to watching the PPVs at my local watering hole from now on at least you get to see the fight you came to watch.

I don't think it's Dana's fault.

I would be yelling at your cable provider or network if they cut off a sporting event before it's over regardless of timeslot.

This is my frustration with ConCast on west coast for Bellator. They show on tape delay at 9pm pacific rather than live. Bafoonery I tell ya. 

I wonder if that is why they had such good numbers last weekend tho.

The Bellator tape delay is a choice of Spike TV to keep it in that 9pm timeslot and not give an earlier one to the west coast. They use to do the same thing with the UFC with the exception of ppv prelims which were live but usually only an hour, Spike actually really sucked with how they showed UFC contenr and with how little they actually showed. The only way not to have the delay on the west coast is to have satellite which always show east coast time.

I know why they do it. Does not mean it's good for business. If Hellator is worth watching I stream it otherwise **** em.

Been at work all day time for a reply I'm on one of the biggest tv providers in Edmonton AB Canada Telus. Even UFC site said event was broadcast from 8pm-11pm mountain standard time I saw pre lims 6-8pm but fights went past the 3 hours -11pm on what was broadcast here. There were no interruptions except going from pre-lims to main event was it a 3 1/2- 4 hour show on other channels? It happens on pretty much every 5 rounder that goes past 2 round that I've seen so far. Glad I didn't have to watch Cub lose I was rooting for him. I'm an MMA fan I'll never stop watching you all know that, it just pisses me off missing the end of fights Same thing happened watching Mighty Mouse quite awhile ago, a bunch of us went to the pub to watch Fight Night on the big screen, love watching that little guy.

UFC's are actually designed to run over timeslot to keep ratings at peak as long as possible UFC could easily fit all the fights in the timeslot if they wanted to. I know in the US almost all live sporting events are shown to their completion, it's been that way since the infamous Heidi Bowl in 1968 where a football game between the Jets and Raiders cut off to show a broadcasting of the movie Heidi. After the game cut off Oakland scored 2 TDs for a come from behind victory. 

The main card fights on FS1 on Timewarner on the west coast were scheduled from 7-10pm, the event ended at about 10:20pm but the network would never cut off the event regardless of scheduled timeslot.  It must be because of the network in Canada.  Doesn't Fightpass simulcast the events in Canada?

I've never heard of or seen fight pass in Canada. We have the fight network but all you get is real old UFC or real low level mma. I canceled it a long time ago.  I can never forget a California announcer saying he threw more hooks than a fisherman has in his tackle box. In the same event a guy fought in his underwear because he forgot to bring his gym bag. Classy shows and in another a guy says I'm training 2 hours a night twice a week I'm in the best shape of my life what a joke.  I exercise more than that to stay in shape for snowboarding and wakeboarding at 55yrs old.

I just wish they had this **** at a decent time. Maybe I am getting old, or just tired because I get up so early for work now but I went to bed with three more fights left lol. Start at 5 or 6, most people aren't watching the early prelims anyway (although I do).

I watch the FP prelims live, then record all the televised stuff. Be a family guy for the night, bang my wife, lie in bed for a bit until she is asleep, ninja out of the bed, do some blow, watch UFC minus all the commercials and commentary, pass out, wake up at 5:00 AM when kid gets up, drink coffee, more blow etc. That's me in @Yoss' AV

Dude - DVR is the way to go... You gotta learn your lesson from this, DVR the **** and extend that ****** to record 30-45 minutes after alotted time. If your company is not running the fights past the allotted time slot, just switch.... that's what i would do.

 

Amen to @cal1..... i do pretty much the exact same thing...
