Full library to be ready for end of Fight Pass trial
Dana White: ““Everything will be on there, and what we’re going to do is, even though there’s issues … we’re still going to put it up.”
One of the early complaints from fans of the UFC’s new digital network, Fight Pass, is that the promised entire fight library is not available. UFC President Dana White said that he does expect that to be fixed when the three month trial ends:
White told MMAjunkie the promotion plans to upload its entire catalogue, which includes individual fights in the now-defunct PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC promotions, by March, when a three-month free trial ends for the online network (and the credit cards of current subscribers start to get charged).
Everything will be on there, and what we’re going to do is, even though there’s issues … we’re still going to put it up, he said following Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 35, which took place outside of Atlanta.
White said over the next year, the UFC will scrub the library of problems such as banned sponsors. He said the promotion already has done its job when it comes to the quality of the streaming content.
I was on a mountain in Wyoming and I couldn’t even get cell service, and I watched a fight from China in Wyoming without one glitch, he said. No audio, no video glitch. It was awesome. The thing’s just going to keep getting better, and wait until you see what we have for other stuff we’re bringing into Fight Pass.
