Streaming services in our day & age are very popular. You pay a monthly rate and you get access to unlimited shows and movies all at the click of a button. Well, there just happens to be a streaming service made just for MMA. Its called UFC Fight Pass and it allows users to watch thousands of live events and bouts all with a paid subscription. It's like Netflix, for fight fans.

In the MMA world there isn't much along the lines of services or products that do extraordinarily well. They have fighter specific clothing lines and other memorabilia, but what really takes fans by storm is their streaming service of just about every UFC event in history all in the same place. UFC Fight Pass is a great way for a new fan of the sport to catch up and learn about past events and even historic moments. The sport is rich with history and having the ability to go back and watch these events in real time is an incredible investment for just $7.99 a month.

Not only can one watch past events, but UFC Fight Pass airs the first few fights of every Pay-Per-View only on their streaming service. They used to host full events on this service as well before the UFC made an agreement with ESPN+, which now owns the rights to airing full fight cards on their specific streaming platform too. I know it seems a little weird to have two separate streaming services where fights are aired live. It is a bit of a hassle, but soon ESPN+ will begin to add their own 'fight library' to choose from as well.

What makes Fight Pass different than the streaming services of ESPN+, is their access to live events of other MMA and Kickboxing promotions. Fight Pass will air live events from venues around the world all included with their monthly membership fee. So in other words, you get full access to a fight library of past events, documentaries, pre-fight and post-fight shows, and live events. This is a great way for new fans to learn about up and coming fighters, follow around their favorite fighters in their everyday lives, and to get fully acclimated with the sport of MMA.

Although this service is advertised towards fans, Fight Pass is used regularly by fighters as well as a way to watch film on their opponent. Since they have access to just about every fight in UFC history, or even from other promotions, it gives the opportunity for fighters to learn more in depth about their opponents.

This streaming platform was groundbreaking when it came out because in the past, if you missed an event, you were basically out of luck. You either had to catch a replay somewhere online or wait till they maybe re-aired it on television which was rare until recently. It gave fans access to just about everything they wanted and now allows you to be able to watch fights anytime you choose.

So if you're on that is new to getting in to the sport of MMA, check out UFC Fight Pass here. It truly is a great way to learn the current UFC roster, find or follow your favorite fighter, and even prepare you for upcoming events. Just like every streaming service, it comes with a free 7-day trial to see if it is something that interests you. Give it a try!
