One thing that Dana White has proven in his time in the UFC is that he is a business mogul. The UFC President has transformed the fight game to unimaginable lengths and led the change from the forefront. Moreover, he had to make tough choices along the way to achieve such success. However, these choices have certainly not been the most popular ones and resulted in him being scrutinized for these decisions. This time, he has made one such call which has certainly not been what the fans wanted. It left some fans disappointed and others enraged.

UFC increases the PPV prices

It is being reported that the UFC has increased its PPV prices. As reported by Mike Bohn, “With a yearly subscription fee of $99.99 in addition to 13 pay-per-view events at $79.99 each. the annual cost to consume the entire UFC schedule without any discounts applied is more than $1,000.”

Dana White and the UFC faced a backlash from the fans. This news about increasing the PPV prices has not gone down well with the fans.

One fan had firmly put their point across. They said, “I’m out bro! You can’t charge me to have ESPN+ and $90 for every PPV. I’m still gonna watch, but I’m not supporting this b****hit anymore.”
