So it looks like ESPN will have both the streaming and broadcast rights for UFC in 2019 :ohhh:

https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/5/...r-ufc-broadcast-rights-currently-owned-by-fox

15 events on ESPN +, 15 presumably on regular ESPN. Wish they would cut back on the number of PPV cards though :francis:.

ive been saying for years i wanted ESPN to get UFC coverage. FS1 has been doing a good job this past year tho so this could go either way now. I do believe fight nights on ESPN will be awesome.

this weight cutting bullshyt is sad, this ain't what martial arts is supposed to be about.

There's gotta be some protocol to nip this stuff in the bud. If you walk around 200+ lbs you shouldn't be fighting at 170.

He will move up to 185 eventually. I bet money on it. But yeah its the worst part od the sport but its also the name of the game. Always has been since weight classes were introduced. They've talked of making more weight classes like 165 and 175 but idk if that would really stop it

Marlon Moraes locked up his title shot...I remember thinking Dodson edged him but he's got back to back KO's on Sterling and Rivera now. That's a solid hit list, but not enough to convince me he beats any of the top three killers.
