@mbach

And to think it is only going to get more ridiculous when the majority of the UFC fights are behind a paywall on ESPN+ starting next year.  Ugh.

Cruz and Rogan don't mesh well IMO. A lot of passive aggressive banter and disagreement between them.

@fish, yeah I know. But I just don't know if I'm comfortable going that route yet. If it gets to the point where there are zero quality fights on T.V. then yep that's how I'll do it. But for now I'm cool paying for the great ppv's (the ones we see as great not the average fan even though I'm a casual) and watching on T.V.
