    Anyone have this? I just bought a month but luckily got a 7 day trial first..wtf is this s---? The search engine is completely f-----, PPVs aren't included and take 3 months to be added, and most fight nights are under blackout until after they air? The h--- is this s---? Am I missing something?

    Some of the fight nights are Fight Pass exclusive. Also so are like the first 2 prelim fights, before the fox prelims. I know I used my 7 day pass when they had the Fight Pass exclusive UFC Japan Nelson/Hunt.

    Plus you get the archived events from like Invicta, WEC, etc. Not worth the money imo. They need to do a WWE Network and put the PPVs live through it.

    yeah but the thing about the wwe network is that they're hemorrhaging money giving away ppvs for $10, I didn't expect fight pass to offer that, but God d--- I can't even watch the mcgreggor fight coming up because the main cards been blacked out until after the event ends. that's some bs.

    and yeah I mean I can just steam it somewhere else but the whole reason I wanted to get it is convenience. also 3 months is dummy long to wait to add the ppvs

    Yeah it really seems more like something for people who want to go back and watch old fights. But hey, you get The Ultimate Fighter!

    Its just basically the library, and live exclusive fights when they go to Europe or Asia. 10 bucks a month is worth it to me, but it would be cool for them to put up the PPV's faster. As far as the McGregor Fight night in a few weeks, think they want ppl to go out and get Fox Sports 1.

    I have it but always forget that I have it. Hopefully they'll be announcing some FightPass cards soon

    I like it, its convenient. Its understandable that they wait a while to put up PPVs. Library is dope, when ever I think of a random fight I am able to just go check it out.

    I love my FightPass, occasionally binge on it. But yeah, the search function is atrocious but miles better than it originally was. I hope they keep building it cos it'll be amazing if they start adding other things to it too like Metamoris etc.

    The app for it on my TV is god awful. Keeps thinking I'm not signed in after I watch any one thing.

    is it because you're signed in on a computer/ipad/other TV/other device? not sure how many devices you can be signed in on at once.


    unsubscribed to this btw. just gonna watch streams of the fights. if my TV had an exta HDMI port id plug in my TV but i have my ps4 and apple TV plugged in, which was going to supplement fightnights and stuff that I wanted to watch in non lag on TV, but with them being put up immediately after they finish airing its just not worth it to me.

    It does boot you if you're on two+ (?) devices simultaneously, but the app available on my smart tv is just s-----y in general. If I'm watching on that tv, I usually use the HMDI and then there's no grief. Do they have a PS4/XB1 app? Dont have either but it'd be useful to know.

    They just started to blackout the events, they sent out an email to all Fight Pass subscribers about the changes.

    I thought the deal with TSN was the reasoning behind the change, and since I get TSN 1 - 5 I'm ok with it (although the prelims apparently are airing on Fight Network which kind of blows since it's a channel I don't get. And Fight Pass in it's email above said that Fight Night Prelims are still available but the ones for McGregor were blacked out for me, so they might want to change that statement.

    Anyway I still think it's worth the $10
