UFC 257 just wrapped up, and it was a complete success for the UFC. However, there have been a few issues that were highlighted by many fighters on social media.
Many fans have mentioned in the past that the ESPN app had a few flaws that made ordering or streaming a PPV pretty complicated and sometimes impossible.
The UFC will certainly look to fix those issues in order to take full advantage of their partnership with ESPN but in the meantime, take a look at what pro fighters had to say about it.
