UFC fans in the United Kingdom who pay for ESPN UK on a monthly basis are left out in the lurch this weekend as the premium subscription sports network will not be showing the UFC on Versus 5 Dan Hardy vs Chris Lytle card this Sunday night. And it looks like it's not going to be a one off occurrence either as the official ESPN UK Facebook page made the following announcement yesterday:
Over the past two years, ESPN has shown UFC main events & preliminary bouts for our viewers & fans of the sport. We have recently been informed that we are not able to continue to show some live UFC content on our channel. We & the UFC are working to find a solution to this as we understand your concerns. ESPN continues to televise UFC main events and provides coverage of UFC and mixed martial arts online at ESPN.co.uk & ESPN.com, & on TV via MMA Live. Thanks for your patience.
gutted have to find rubbish stream's now online wont be the same
im so angry about this, apparently you can watch it live on ufc.com for free, but with my internet speeds, its going to be impossible for me. i've had a lot of trouble with ufc live on versus events before on espn where they stop broadcasting at 4.00 am regardless of the fights that are still happening, twice they have cut it off in the middle of the main event. and as i already have a lot of bets on that i only put on because i could watch and trade in play, im gonna have to red out to get my stakes back
