well for one, people are now paying for what they use to get for free.
I mean this is a great card and one i’ve been looking forward to for some time but how exactly is this great news? we now have to stay up later to see the main event and people who werent/cant buy/watch the ppv for some reason now won’t get to see the Gomi and the Bart fights on free TV. i feel like this is the ufc not wanting to put out good fights on free tv and forcing you to buy the ppv. AWESOME! I <3 EVERYTHING THE UFC DOES CUZ IM BRAINLESS!!

it doesnt bother me cuz I'd watch all the fights anyway.
but its not particularly good news for those who cant afford to do so. also not great news for FX.
"is my penis really small, or are my thighs just really big?"
FX still gets their 4 fights. I’m liking how more prelims are on FX/Facebook than FUEL; it’s great that the FX prelims run for 2 hours instead of 1 like on SPIKE.

Well, another way to put it is
Now, instead of getting 5 fights for our 50 bucks, we are getting seven.
Before, it was roughly 10 bucks per fight, on average, now it’s a little over 7 bucks a fight.
But the most simplified version is ‘we are paying the same price for more’
If anything, it makes actually buying the PPV have more value.

I buy every pay-per-view and watch every fight so it doesn’t affect me much, but it’s easy to see why some fans would hate it: If you can’t afford to buy every pay-per-view but you do watch the prelims for the cards you don’t buy, this means you’re getting fewer prelims.

How are you getting more for your money?
Either way you were going to get 11 fights for the price of basic cable and a pay-per-view. Whether six of those fights are on basic cable and five are on pay-per-view, or four are on basic cable and seven are on pay-per-view, it’s the same amount of fights for the same amount of money.

But fewer prelims
All this does is shift two fights that would have been prelims onto the PPV. It doesn’t give you more fights.

Also, prelims only make it to the PPV broadcast IF time allows. In this case all 7 fights are guaranteed, whereas usually only 5 would be guaranteed. There have been PPVs where only the main 5 fights are broadcast.

This card was always going to have 12 fights
All today’s announcement means is that you have to pay for seven of the fights while you’re getting five for free. It had previously been assumed that you’d get seven for free and have to pay for five.
by MichaelDavidSmith on Feb 14, 2012 2:29 PM EST up reply actions
I’ll give you that. But as you’ll see below, you get the same number of prelims as other shows. You’re getting more for your money; you’re not getting less for free, you’re just not getting more for free.

Fair enough
Assuming none of the fights get canceled in the next week and a half (which is never a safe assumption), you are correct that we will be getting 12 fights from this card, which is more than we get from most pay-per-views. Still, it’s not like 12 fights is unprecedented. UFC 139 and UFC 140 both had 12 fights and you only had to pay for five of them. UFC 144 has 12 fights and you have to pay for seven of them.

Fair enough indeed.
It could be perceived either way. All that matters is that it should be a great event! It will be interesting to see the turnout given the local time of the event.

Start time also means less time to rehydrate
Usually the weigh-ins are somewhere in the neighborhood of 26-28 hours before the first prelim starts. I believe these weigh-ins will only be about 21 hours before the first prelim starts.

A lot of fans don’t watch the prelims and are only interested in the PPV fights. A lot of bars only show the PPV. There is generally much more interest in the main card.

Obviously experimenting to boost PPV sales.
No complaint here. Prelim fights lately have been a lot better, they need more time to show highlight reel calibre stuff like Steve Thompson’s headkick KO which didn’t even make it to the PPV.
Wait so are they going to have an intermission or something?

Can we do this for every card? I mean, it’s not a huge deal because most of us watch every fight regardless. But still, four hour main card is nice.
There should be an option when buying PPV’s to have all the fights on the one channel. But that doesn’t work with the whole Fuel and FX wanting viewers for prelims and stuff.

“UFC 144 PPV Card Will Have Seven Fights Over Four Hour Timeslot”
No one else bothered by the fact the title of this article makes no sense? I’m guessing it should be:
“UFC 144 PPV Card Will Have Seven Fights, Over Four Hour Timeslot”
The power of punctuation… Not to be a grammar nazi, but I read it as it was typed initially. Weird, I know.
most titles aren't including punctuation
That said, I understood it just fine

While he's incorrect (the headline is technically correct, just offers up the possibility for more than one meaning), titles are expected to be punctuated.
Saying they aren’t including punctuation is untrue. They simply don’t use periods to end them, and then there are AP practices that are more accepted for titles, such as single apostrophe quotes, etc. But all commas, colons, semi-colons, hyphens, em dashes, quotation marks (in single form) and question marks apply.
But again, this guy is wrong. The title is correct.

That’s closer to what I was going for. With a comma before over, it implies that the timeslot isn’t four hours, it’s over four hours. Like four and a half or something.
Either way, if the title sucks it’s because I was in a rush. My bad.

Well, agree to disagree, I guess… Neither is great (comma was quick fix), but as it is, it implies the card will have 7 fights over the 4 hours timeslot. IE: After they hit the 4 hour timeslot, there are 7 more fights.
You don't need a comma there. It leaves the possibility of both meanings, but it is not incorrect.

No, just a bit of a straight edge.

This is great news for Latin American fans
Its way harder to watch prelims than the PPV in Latin America. At least in my country, we dont have FX, just a spanish version of FX that doesnt air UFC. The PPV’s are always free for us un Fox Sports Latino.
exicited for this one
im trying to figure out which fights i wanna see the most, pretty damn good undercard too
I agree...
Making it 7 cards is denying some viewers access to the fights that are normally free. Also, who the hell is going to want to stay up til 1:30 for the main event to start?
The only downside for me is
well not for me exactly, but i feel bad for my brother and friends who will come over to watch this and end up staying up till 2 in the morning when they have to be at work at 7:30, which sucks.
i miss the 9pm start time.
that said i was worried they were going to go pride style and cram in a big fighter parade and fireworks show and presentation of flowers and national anthems every fight.
at least its more fights per hour
I liked the 9 PM Eastern start time as well
But when you consider that the guys in California were starting the PPV at 6…it sort of puts it into perspective.
Why can’t the PPVs start at 9:30 Eastern?
