UFC Reviews

by Kuadratic

1) UI is confusing and it’s hard to get around . UFC locks cool but navigation is often confusing .
2) my main complaint - you cannot watch the best fights !! I figured I’d at least be able to pay an extra fee to see the PPV premiere fights like Usman VE Masdival on Fight Island, but no —that does not seem possible . All that I can watch are the lower level and less popular matches by lesser known fighters . Really? And I found that out only after shelling out $10 for the first month
3) I found it impossible to set UFC up on my Apple TV ( only works on my phone ( . For some treason , AppleTV recognizes that I own UFC but sill not allow me to sign in ( also I never created an account for this so ... uhh how would I sign in and I don’t mean to sign in to Apple but to this app for which Oj Ave no user account - horrible UX )

UFC is next to impossible to work. I attempted TWELVE times to rent a PPV fight and each time you enter credit card info to order it logs you out and sends u back to login. Then credit card again, then login, and so on and so on. I’ve never had this much trouble on an app ever. And keep in mind we pay $100 a year for fight pass. It really makes me want to cancel my subscription and just catch the fight later. UFC/fight pass has been having issues well over a year. We are on our second year subscription and we constantly have problems. And the “chat” customer service doesn’t work at all!!!! The this app is making tons of money right now. Please please drop some money on fight pass/app. I’m so close to canceling our subscription and we are a this app family. UFC has the potential to be great but it’s not being given the attention and work needed! Over a year? No excuse!

Ive loved the this app for years but UFC pisses me off every time I use it. Its response times are pathetic and leads to constantly force quitting on me when trying to pause a video seems to be too hard a task for UFC to handle. Seems impossible to scroll through the videos of a specific season I’m searching since UFC thinks I want to open every video I’m trying to pass over.

Something I’d love to see implemented into UFC is a “continue watching” section. There’s been plenty of times where I’m in the middle of a video and have to drop it to go do something. By the time I get back UFC has decided I was done and closed out. Then once I reopen UFC I have to manually search the exact episode/fight I was on and after all that extra UFC doesn’t even recognize that I’ve watched any of the video yet and starts from the beginning.

Ive got great internet and a perfectly fine phone but UFC runes like its in beta and on the oldest OS to date. Its absolutely garbage to have to pay a good sum for a service just for it to run as if my old high school buds developed in back in ‘08

The worst app I’ve ever used, that is supporting a major organization. I’d expect this kind of haphazard design from someone in their garage experimenting with making an app. The entirety of the the design is not only confusing and really not user friendly, but there are repeated links that take you to the same things over and over in a loop of madness. There is nonexistent customer service even though they proudly display a “chat now!” Option. I had that stupid window open for over and hour at one point and was still “waiting for an agent” I’ve also never gotten a response from their email option. But nothing tops paying for a pay per view fight, BUT what you get is literally only the title/main event. You can’t watch ANY prelims or anything else unless you also buy their crap subscription, and even then, your area might be blacked out for some unknown reason that they won’t explain so you can’t even PAY to watch anything else. What a poor excuse for an app. Nothing but greed and laziness went into it. Never ever will I download or use UFC again. Who ever is in charge and or created it needs fired. Smh.

The playback controls are almost non-functional. It doesn’t reliably respond when you touch the screen to bring up the controls and then the controls respond insanely slowly (like waiting 30 second to a minute to FF 30 second, or dragging the progress bar just not working). None of this is my internet connection. This is the only app that doesn’t do playback effectively.

Also, scrolling down the available material (with its hard to follow organization) is choppy and very slow. This is made worse by the fact that the “recently watched” list is all the way at the bottom. It is also absurdly difficult to find an event that is over but was on in the past 24 hours. That should also be a separate section and near the top of the main page.

The content is really solid. Everything else about UFC is a total disaster. If it weren’t for the monopoly on the content, I can’t imagine anybody would use UFC. For example, I wouldn’t even consider having Netflix if it worked this badly.

The new update completely ruined UFC. You can no longer look up fights, they took away almost all of the TUF seasons, good luck looking for certain fighters

The main reason I used UFC was because of the ability to watch old fights. The new update took away the ability to do that. It’s unbelievable how bad it is now. I wanted to watch just Jon Jones Vs Alexander 2. I am currently scrubbing through the entire card to watch just that one fight. You can’t do that for almost any fight now. The most recent fight from Jon you can watch is OSP. That’s crazy that the most recent fight you can watch from Jon is 3 years old.

Secondly, TUF. TUF was what saved the company and now you can barely watch it. There’s barely any seasons and some of them are missing episodes. I wanted to watch Miller vs Bisping but the earliest episode is episode 6. What on earth? The one thing that saved this company and you can’t watch it. Unbelievable.

Finally the fighter search. On both my phone and smart TV I couldn’t find any real athlete page. What I found was a picture of them and maybe 6 fights. It was so cool looking at their stats and rankings and now you can’t do that. As a this app fan it’s very frustrating that you’re limiting what we can do to get involved with the this app.

You need to fix UFC. It’s honestly unbelievable how badly you messed it up. The last update was fine, go back to that. You will lose money and fans if you continue to use this update

I don’t normally leave reviews HOWEVER, I absolutely LOVE this app Fight Pass. When it works, which is rare. I understand that all apps will have their issues. But when I am paying for a service I sort of expect a little more from that service. That being said, I have found that on both platforms that I use fight pass (iPad and Xbox one) there are streaming issues that are crippling to the service. I know it’s not a connection issue because not only do I know I have extremely fast WiFi, but other apps(wwe network for instance) work perfectly fine and stream great. No one can expect perfection, but when you are paying money you expect issues that would be expected at launch to be ironed out after a few years. Not the case here. I have finally gotten frustrated enough to leave this review and I am wondering if I am wasting my money.

by Sean C Riley

I have had this app fight pass for several years now, and I love the content. That said, I pay almost $100 a year for that content, and I can barely watch it because UFC is trash. Every other video streaming app works perfectly fine on my phone or any other device that I use. For some reason the this app app crashes all the time, is unresponsive, frequently won’t start, and has extremely slow responsiveness when I click something. Usually UFC takes 10 or more seconds to register that I have clicked on something. This is unacceptable for a video streaming app where I am paying for content. Fix all of this please. UFC is extremely buggy and nearly impossible to use. It’s bad enough that you moved half of your content to ESPN+, which you have to pay for separately. Just fix UFC.

When I used the old version I could search something and play it, then after I was done with that video it would go back to what I had searched or back to the spot on the page I was on automatically, now every time I play something it goes back to the home screen and I have to go back to the category or search it all over again, when I watch the live streams they often freeze and say to reload it but it never re loads. I have to exit and re select it, which makes me miss important moments in fights quite often. I fact that’s what gave me idea to give my rating, I was watching cage warriors and the guy was getting dominated and it froze and by the time I got it back on the losing guy had won! So I missed an epic come back and couldn’t even rewind it to see what happened. This is not the first time that it has happened. Just please go back to the old style or at the very least make this one work as well as the old style

Another week goes by and yet UFC still is laggy, bulky, with a cumbersome interface. Not to mention that the streaming service doesn’t even air all of the seasons of its proprietary show (Case in Point Season 6 of TUF Team Serra vs Team Hughs). I’ve been a subscriber for almost 5 years now paying the 6 month premium at a time however with the lack of response from a company with the means such as the this app to remedy these issues for users I am cancelling my membership. No catalogue of fights or original content (especially omitted content Team Hughs vs Team Serra) is worth the struggle and headache of the membership fee and atrocious user experience. With the growing brand that is the this app and THE premier athletic organization worldwide this supplement to their brand is nothing short of an embarrassment. I guess those streamers take away enough revenue stream to afford a quality development team.

by Wrestler709

It’s not pleasing to surf through UFC and try to find fights or fighters, so if they changed the interface to something more easy to navigate, that would help a lot. Also, there’s a fair amount of videos that don’t open. I will try to open them, and an error pops up saying “Sorry, something went wrong.” Both of these things, the video errors and poor interface, creates a pretty abysmal experience. There’s a lot of potential for UFC to be great and fight pass to be worth the money for the mobile experience, but as of now, it’s not worth $10 a month on mobile. ESPN+ includes enough this app coverage, a better interface, and never any video errors, for $3 cheaper monthly.

The fight pass.... amazing. UFC .... terrible. It glitches out constantly. When you swipe it’s always 5 to 30 seconds behind. UFC will lag and when you swipe it will click on random things constantly. The screen mirror does not work for any current fights but will load in my phone but refuses to go up on screen. Only will go to my tv if I watch the ultimate fighter. UFC needs a lot of work. There is also no search bar and the continue watching is at the very very bottom of the page which also take forever to load the remaining of the page when you get to the bottom and after it loads have to scroll through two more load screens to continue watching. this app fight pass
Needs a separate app with a lot of work.

I gave it 2 stars to be generous but honestly why am I choosing to follow fighters yet there’s no list to see the fighters I chose and maybe see when they fight again or at least see the latest on them. I can’t pay for this if its not even done, NO UPDATE IN 10months wow, and theirs no sign of an update that actually counts as you can see in a previous review. Before you charge people how about getting UFC to work at a full potential without crashing. I have Espn+ which is alot better at the moment but I really wanted the fight pass and any other streaming apps for MMA which im sure I have most. UFC should really live up to its potential. Why are other apps beating you at your own game? Most other apps are literally ground n pounding this this app app. Stop giving up your back and if you do tuck that chin and get back to your feet and make sure you keep your head moving from the center line. Let’s go this app get it together before you get into the championship rounds. I’ll change this and be a good cornerman when the time comes. Good luck and please if you choose to keep it the same then drop the price and do the right thing til its ready. We need a 4.5 rating or better. Let’s get it. I know Dana wouldn’t like whats happening with his app trust me.

by Jfanizzi

Great library….if you can access anything. Ive never given search bars of any kind a second thought. You type in what you’re looking for, and look at that - the result show what you want. Not the Fight Pass search bar. Try searching for Khabib vs McGregor one time, and you may get this app 27 as your result. Try searching for the same thing the next day, and it may tell such a fight doesn’t exist. It’s horrific. Hands-down the worst search bar I’ve ever seen. If you want to watch Khabib/McG, you will have to google which specific this app event it took place at. Then, you have to go to the section where they have all the this app events, and look for the year it took place, then go through that entire year and finally find this app 229. Then you have to either watch the entire event and fast-forward to the match. Then the next day, you search for Khabib/McGregor, and sure enough, the single fight pops up.
I’m sorry, but I don’t like to play Russian Roulette with apps.

by YoungJermex

I am a hard-core MMA fan and have had UFC over a year. I have a few issues with UFC. First off I can’t even see the prelims or main card fighters. This has been going on for at least a month now. Next is certain fights aren’t on all fighters fight list. Example: Cody vs TJ 2. It was on Cody’s fight list and not TJ’s. If I pay PPV through UFC I should be able to watch it after that night. And I can’t. And lastly why does it take so long for fights from fox or fs1 to get to fight pass. I understand the last two things may not be up to fightpass completely. Also lately if I’m watching a fight card UFC keeps backing out and I have to keep going back into the fight and then make the whole card start over. Some other promotions don’t even charge for apps like this. If your going to make us pay can we please get some better product. Y’all are the NFL of fighting, get it together.

I love UFC more than the next guy but there’s a few things I’d like to get fixed.
1. I wish you could favorite athletes and seasons of TUF and or saves your place when you go back and forth from episode to episode
2. The layout is confusing and hard to understand.
3. Y’all said in august there was more fightlore coming with more but nothing ever came.
4. This is after I posted the review but I also notice the delay when I click on anything, for example when I click on athletes nothing will happen for 10 sec then I go to fight library and then It takes me to athletes. I’m on the this app app every day and these are my only concerns but it gets to the point where I just wanna delete it and go to Bellator 😂🤦‍♂️
5. This is the 3rd time I’m adding onto my review. UFC on mobile is so delayed I can’t even enjoy it anymore, every-time I want to watch something it either lags out from me moving to slow or too fast which makes no sense. I haven’t seen any improvements to fix the bugs or to make it more enjoyable. This will be my last review before I cancel which I don’t want to do.

by Captainchopstick

Read some of the reviews. UFC isn’t THAT bad. Functional, but needs to make some adjustments. Most major issues have already been addressed.
For some minor issues, can we get a 5-10 second rewind for the double tap feature on iOS? Lightning strikes in this game, and 30 seconds IMO is too long of a duration to play back. On PC, it works great.
The fight library could be better organized, or at least flow better. After searching for a specific fighter, the results can’t be sorted, making it feel scattered. PC allows you to “refine”, but the outcome is not much different. iOS doesn’t even give you an option. Sorting by chronological order according to which this app event would work great. It would also allow fans to track the entire fighter’s career progression from early fights to more recent.

Hope that helps.

Look, it’s not perfect and could be better, however, as a fan of mma this app fight pass is 100 percent worth buying. The amount of footage you have access too with such good quality is unreal. Plus some of the smaller promotional leagues are aired live of fight pass. And every this app event has early fights aired on fight pass only. They also hold whole events just for fight pass! And I’ll be honest in saying so far those cards have delivered more than most Fox cards! The pace without commercials is really great too because it’s so fast paced it keeps the momentum and never leaves you with a dull
Waiting period. UFC is 5 stars for me. I love UFC.

I priced myself as a deeply committed and knowledgeable fan of MMA and this app in particular. I watched when it was a fringe sport. I didn’t think I could love it anymore but once the this app created their fight library, it was a whole new level of knowledge. By investing in the production and broadcast of so many smaller “feeder” companies and by giving us the FULL scope of combat sports, we have gone from an elementary education to a graduate level of understanding. I had no idea I would like the other disciplines so much! Thank you for investing in the sort, the other promotions and the fan experience. Also, a huge THANK YOU for showing such incredible fights during the pandemic. It saved my sanity! This is evidence of why the UFCis the leader in MMA and combat sports worldwide!

by Fight Pass Fan

Idk if they’ve worked out the bugs the other reviewers mention, but I’ve been binging on fight pass for days with no issues. Blown away by the quantity of content and how easy it is to find what I’m looking for. I made a Diego Sanchez playlist in about thirty seconds and watched his last six fights one after another. UFC just played them—no need to click continue or re-expand the screen or any of that. UFC and fight pass are awesome. Honestly, they’ve thought of everything. For instance, when you’re watching something but scroll down for details, the video keeps playing in a sort of picture in picture in the corner.

by Makapuu Kid

Been paying the $10 a month for fight pass to get access to the online variety of fights but the streaming video is full of bugs. You see all these bad reviews? Despite the complaints, and huge cost for UFC , they have done inly 3 minor bug fixes in the last year. They do not maintain their own screwed up app. They spend million$ promoting fight pass, but not a dime in fixing it. The worst thing that happens is that the videos do actually work it gets locked in portrait mode so they are just way too tiny to view in an iPhone. The video also flips back and forth between portrait snd landscape as well for no reason which Is really frustrating. For over $100 a year to subscribe they need to fix this crap it is unwatchable, unprofessional, and ridiculous.

by Thyasianman

So my big thing that they removed from the former app is to search up a fighter and then look at every fight they have had in chronological order. Now, when you search up a fighter, it just shows their fight in a random order. It’s terrible. I like to watch a fighter’s fights from their first to last, and this new update doesn’t allow this. I have to open up their Wikipedia to do this now.

Another big thing is how UFC is always broken, and they don’t let us know that it’s their fault. I want better error messages. Don’t let it look like it’s our fault. And UFC is broken often.

When UFC works, it’s awesome. But even if it worked all the time, not being able to look at a fighter’s fights in chronological order is such a terrible user experience that I can’t recommend UFC.

by Jujudancer:)

1. For some odd reason, I recently found all my favorites and videos to watched later entirely removed from their respective lists. When i tried adding a video I discovered that their status was flicking almost instantly back to non-favorite and removed from the watch later list.

I have also found that UFC has not been tracking my progress anymore as it used to, and as in watching the Library in order this becomes frustrating quickly.

My final and largest complaint is not a bug but a lack of a page feature in the library. To click ‘next’ hundreds of times to get from the begging of the library to the end is a massive pain. And if you could include a search page function or include page number in the url bar that would be great.

I hope you take my experience into account, and in sorry if this rubbed you the wrong way. I just think your site can be a little better, and an app review is easier for me than contacting your team. If the this app app-makers can connect with the website creators on my last point that would be wonderful for fight fans everywhere

by Matsonadam

UFC isn’t good. Records are often wrong. I begrudgingly use it for the Fight Library but even that is off, Khabib - Connor is on there but other events from 229 aren’t. Cormier - Stipe isn’t either and that was annoying. Not sure what their criteria for uploading fights but it definitely isn’t “every fight in this app History like advertised.

Above all, Chromecast support is awful. Once you select a fight, you have to go back a menu to connect Chromecast. Also, there is an option to put a fight in a queue but it doesn’t play after. They also don’t have autoplay. Once you connect it, it’s loud! By far the loudest audio of any app I’ve ever used. Makes it impossible to put it on when trying to fall asleep. Even at my TV’s lowest volume, it’s loud. Then you just gotta hope it doesn’t crash out. No joke - UFC crashes before the fight ends about a third of the time.

This could be an awesome asset for the this app but it’s really awful. And with the new ESPN deal, no more early prelims on UFC .

by Daniel Aidan

The sell for Fight Club is amazing and as a fan I’d pay forever if it worked. All the fights, just a few months behind? Brilliant. It’s terrible. Forget the live streams, they can’t stream archived material. I can seamlessly stream a 4K documentary but 15 seconds of a fight from two years ago goes to low res, then the audio goes out of sync, then it just pauses for longer than it played. You can only fast forward at two times speed (great for a three hour event!) and the menu to jump to a fight never works. If it hangs and you have to shut it down or back out? It’ll reset the timeline of the event? On the last round of the last fight? Enjoy fast forwarding for twenty minutes? this app should be embarrassed to have their name on this. Fix UFC.

by Deots1

I’ve tried the fight pass now and again in order to access the fight library. About 6 months ago I cancelled the subscription because I could barely finish a video without it bugging out and having to restart. Decided to try again and the problems have not been addressed. Still couldn’t finish a fight.

Either the this app does not really prioritize their fight pass subscription, or they need to address these problems. Because as it stands I really can’t recommend UFC to anybody. Stick with the ESPN+ subscription and just watch new fights as they become available.

by Phildo2004

UFC could be & should be amazing so it matches the this app product itself! If only they would stay up on REGULAR UPDATES! I mean at the bare minimum at least keep the weight class & P4P rankings as well as current champions lists up to date so that way when we see something on UFC it matches what we then see on ESPN & vice versa! That’s not hard to do & if that regular maintenance was done it would make the interface and app WAY WAY MORE USER FRIENDLY & undoubtedly attract tons more users who would DL UFC , KEEP IT INSTALLED & KEEP USING IT RATHER THAN SAVING A SAFARI SHORTCUT ON SCREEN TO WATCH FIGHT PASS WHICH IS THE EASIEST & IMO MORE USER FRIENDLY & HOW I PREFER TO DO IT! WHILE I DO CHECK BACK & DL UFC TO SEE IF ANYTHINGS GOTTEN BETTER OR CHANGED WHENEVER I SEE AN “UPDATE” BUT 9/10 TIMES I NORMALLY WIND UP DOWNLOADING IT, OPENING IT UP TO SEE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN UPDATED OR CHANGED & THEN DELETING UFC AGAIN TO GO BACK TO MY SAFARI SHORTCUT ICON!

by Blvckfire

So I’d like to start off by saying that UFC is awesome! I have had it going on roughly a year now and I have very few complaints. The content is golden and you won’t find a library of fights like this anywhere else. In addition to series like TUF you also get Dana Whites Tuesday Night contender series. One thing UFC could definitely improve on is updated rankings. It’s been a few days since TJ relinquished his title due to PED bust and still no update. Khabib is still champ as well which is like to see updated. What’s the point of an interim belt if you aren’t going to update the information on your platforms.
