This is annoying every time I remember it, I don't see how it benefits them to have no one watch their content for 3 months. I don't think anyone is going to pay $60 to watch a recording from a month ago, so they're just making fightpass worse for no reason. A week is reasonable.

There's no other way to see UFC after the fact in the UK, as they have an exclusive TV deal. If you don't watch live, no legal way to watch for 3 months...

They like selling PPV's for the same price the day after the event, but I'm really curious who actually buys them.

What media company do you run again because giving away a 60 dollar ppv for essentially free a week later doesn't seem to be a sound model.

The UFC sells a lot of DVDs to casual fans who don't watch the PPV or even bother finding out who won. They then buy or rent the DVDs months later.

Someone who knows they only have to wait a week to see the fights is going to be a lot less motivated to buy the PPV live.

Really? I'd say MMA has the most internet savvy fanbase for any sport, and there's so much content floating around these days that I can't believe anyone is buying or renting DVDs, let alone casual fans.

Aside from that, no way its worth the same money to watch a replay as to watch live, especially when its $60 bucks. No casual fan is going to pay that much ever.

As a non-casual fan, I find it very hard to avoid spoilers even till the next day (I'm in the UK), let alone a week, and even I wouldn't pay full price for a replay.

I doubt they sell many PPV replays at this price, compared to what they'd do if it got cheaper, or used it as a fightpass "plus" feature.

Someone who sees a price of $60 for a show that happened a week ago, is likely to not bother, or to pirate it. Even more likely if they saw some of the results on twitter.

At least over here in Socialist Hellholeland the 2-3 months is the duration how long the pay channel that airs the PPV events keeps it in VOD rotation. I'd imagine PPV holders in the US want to keep the show available for that duration since every 60 dollar drunken purchase is 60 dollars towards the bottom line.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
Just saw the card, I am very sad that Marina Shafir is not in the UFC because Betcha Cohaya should just beat up all of Ronda's lackeys.

Also Ramsey Nijem is so bad and never tucks his chin, I don't understand why he still gets fights.

Tony Ferguson is cool but I was a little scared that he would lose the fight by diving on submissions. Danny Castillo is a terrible loser and bad fighter.

Joe Soto may not be a better fighter than Barão, but he's definitely better at hitting TJ and not looking like poo poo. Looking forward to seeing him lose badly to some middling 135er and putting TJ's reign into question.
