Is anyone else just a little peeved that the pay per view does not get you all the announced fights? Don't even mention the other fighters if you are not going to show them. A spike TV freebie should not be better than a $50 dollar PPV. I understand this is nothing new with the UFC, but it is slowly pissing me off to the point where I feel like I'm getting ripped off. The fights were good last night, but as a fan, I really want to see them all. Is it that difficult to run the PPV the whole distance?
Idea: If anything, PPV subscribers should be given a code as a "thank you" that allows them to watch the rest of the fights on demand for free. What do you all think?

Yeah, the PPV's are only a 3 hr. time slot. However, if they would have cut out both the intro's of Goulet/Hironaka and their introductions(just shown the tale of the tape), they probably could have squeezed in the Day/Belcher fight or the Cain/Brad fight. I agree, I feel a little ripped off no doubt, but that's life.

They announce which ones wil be on ppv. Why would they not announce the undercards? I would like to see more fights, but they aren't ripping you off if they tell you what you're getting. It's not like you can't see them for free afterward.

overall matches were lousy, fighters came not prepared, and i was hoping to see a couple prelims make it, but man if the ufc could be more time efficient they could have shown another fight, or instead of one match going into the later rounds show two matches that end in the first.

Compared to boxings 50 or 60 dollars ppvs with undercard joke fights most of the time. Ufc you get 4 or 5 good fights and most the time they will play the best undercard fight after the main event. so imo i think the ufc ppvs are fair priced

They do on ufc.com. On the fight card pages they note some fights "may not be broadcast" and make it a link to click for an explanation why.

I totally agree with the thread poster.
What I wish they would do is give the option to order 2 hours early and watch the prelim fights as they happen Live. I belive they fight right before the main fights? Anyway they need to do a 5 hour slot so they can have the extra 2 hours for secondary fights. 50 dollars is alot of cash imo for just 5 main w/ the option of possibly seeing a few secondary ones.
