UFC fighters got out their credit cards to legally watch Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2 in the pay-per-view headliner of UFC 257. But when showtime arrived, many were left watching a whole lot of nothing when live streaming network ESPN+ had an apparent outage.
The fighters quickly took to Twitter to voice their displeasure at the outage, which appeared to affect several broadcasts on ESPN+ and came after UFC President Dana White vowed to crack down on illegal streams of UFC 257.
Here’s what fighters had to say about the streaming issues.
Is anyone else not being able to log in to ESPN despite already buying the #ufc257 card which was freaking $70
