    I've had it since around July (the Dublin card) and everything other than PPV main cards have been shown (I'm in Ireland). I don't expect it to be any different this time.

    I took it that anything on BT here was blacked out on fight pass.

    That's quite strange, I watched all of the prelims last weekend on Fight Pass without using a proxy.

    Did you remember to switch from the fightpass prelim stream to the regular prelim stream?

    Edit: have a look here. You shouldn't have had any problems:

    It won't be different you're right.

    I've had it awhile meself trying it on the free first, reactivated it since November as there was a bunch of events upcoming I had interest in. Apart from numbered events everything has been available. BT showing most of the Fightpass cards too has had no bearing if it did there'd not be much value subscribing to Fightpass .

    Had no issue with 182 prelims either and watched TUF finale live too which someone seems to suggest was blacked out.

    Not a patch on boxing?? The majority of a boxing fight is two lads following each other around a ring throwing the odd punch.... How exciting!!

    Louis Taylor injured, Uriah Hall without an opponent for Boston card again
    Uriah Hall has been left without an opponent. Again.
    Louis Taylor has injured his back and will have to pull out of his fight with Hall at UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Siver on Jan. 18 in Boston, UFC officials confirmed with MMAFighting.com on Sunday. The news was initially broken by Karyn Bryant of FOX Sports.
    Crappy news. Was looking forward to that fight. Doubt they'll find an opponent for him now. I suppose the silver lining is that Pendred could possibly be bumped up to the main card.

    hall??? are you serious?? he's a superbly talented martial artist who seems to struggle in the cage for some reason, in terms of being as good as he could be. BUT he's an abnoxious wan!er... he reminds me someone like john jones in terms of arrogance. He had a awful attitude on TUF.

    Sorry I thought the post was referring to Pendred.

    Hall is a funny fish. He has amazing ability but seems to struggle with his confidence, as it appears to fluctuate wildly.

    Yes there will.I watched something earlier "UFC minute" I think it's called (made by the UFC) and the presenter said that embedded will start on Thursday .

    Not surprised there will be a conor embedded (as if siver will get 2 words in) after conor nearly got more footage in embedded for aldo vs mendez and he wasn't even on the card.

    The location for the weigh ins is TBD at the moment. The doors open at 4pm to the public so I'm presume it will be first come, first served.

    Does anybody know of another way of assuring entry to the weigh ins?

    The Q&A before the weigh ins is with Jose Aldo. Would be interesting if all the Irish fans showed up for it and gave him the same treatment that Conor got in Rio.

    At work so didnt have time to read through the thread. We were just wondering during a discussion. Google was just telling me FOX sports.

    I'm sick of getting notifications, thinking its something of interest about the fight or sport and seeing someone ask a question that was discussed at length and asked on nearly every page so far.

    Its on BT.

    American events don't tend to sell out as fast as overseas events.

    It still isn't sold out. Americans are slow to buy tickets, I imagine there'll be a few tickets bought on a whim at the weekend.

    More that a lot of locals wouldnt commit knowing the Patriots could have clashed with it. If they'd lost at the weekend I'd say it would be sold out by now. There aren't too many tickets left which is still pretty impressive.
