The UFC's new era on Paramount+ kicked off with UFC 324 and UFC 325, and it's safe to say the initial shows had their fair share of ups and downs. But here's where it gets controversial... While the early start times were a hit-or-miss for viewers, with some east coast fans staying up past 1 a.m., the UFC listened and made adjustments for UFC 325, resulting in a more balanced experience. However, the real controversy lies in the commercials. Fans were shocked by the sheer number of ads, with some feeling it disrupted the flow of the show. But, as UFC CEO Dana White pointed out, it's all about recouping the massive investment. And, surprisingly, the streaming quality was a huge win for Paramount+, with no major issues reported. The broadcast changes, like the addition of backstage interviews, were a welcome surprise, offering a fresh perspective on the fights. So, what's next? The UFC Fight Night card on Paramount+ this Saturday at the Meta APEX promises to be an exciting event, with ticket prices now more accessible. But, will the pacing and commercial breaks be just right? It's anyone's guess, but one thing's for sure: the UFC and Paramount+ are listening to fan feedback and making adjustments. And that's the part most people miss...
