Fight Pass I can deal with. I have the power to purchase it and I have enjoyed the market expansion cards they have offered on FP thus far and I have no problem going there to watch the prelims.
I do have a problem with content being offered on Fox Sports 2 though.
I like millions others, am virtually powerless to access this content as my cable company does not offer it.
Even if I did have it, why should fans have to go to three different sources to watch one fucking card. Come the fuck on.
Dana said they were going to cut this shit out, when?
When the numbers for fight pass cone back at the end of the month...I'd expect some changes then
Horrible mismanagement
Until the main card?
Anyway I think there was just a scheduling conflict. As far as I know the UFC is no longer putting any main cards on FS2 and major secondary and shoulder programming (prelims, TUF, UFC Tonight) is almost entirely on FS1 and FightPass. FS2 has, like, weigh-ins, and is a back-up channel for PPV/Fox prelims.
There was seriously a time when he didn't even fucking _see_ any prelims unless fights ended early on the main card and the UFC could insert them, and then for a while after that it was just an hour's worth. Putting FightPass aside, I don't think it's that big a deal that they have to put their PPV prelims on a lesser channel once in a while.

This, its simply a scheduling issue, big east championship is on FS1 tonight. I'm sure in teh future other sports will have dates that conflict with UFC prelims and might be moved but hopefully not often.
If you remember Spike had video game awards on sometimes which caused the UFC to put a few prelims on Ion.
but maybe its better off to just not air prelims anymore like a few years ago that way fans cant complain when they get moved once in a while.
We are smack in the middle of March Madness, there will be some shuffling of programming around peak times of the year.
