Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White recently warned all “motherfuckers” who plan to illegally broadcast UFC 257 – and any other pay-per-view (PPV) event in 2021 – on January 23, saying that it was a special surprise for them to catch them walking dirty.
And there will likely be more pirates accessing the internet in hopes of finding a free stream after ESPN has increased the cost of UFC’s PPV events by another $ 5, bringing the price up to $ 69.99. Still, White is doubling his threat by saying that these “criminals” will be reduced to crying and begging for him to get through with them.
“We have been one of the leagues that has been so proactive in piracy,” White said in an interview with TheMacLife. (transcribed by MMA Junkie). “I love how cool and tough these guys are on social media because – let me tell you, we caught a lot of people. Let me tell you what they do: they cry. They cry and beg not to be prosecuted and all that, ”White said before revealing that the promotion recently overcame a major hurdle in its endless fight against illegal streaming.
“We have just overcome a huge hurdle in the world of piracy, and we are going to catch some of these guys in 2021, and I look forward to crying and begging. We’ll see how tough they are when they get caught. “
It is clear that UFC 257 will feature the expected return of Conor McGregor, who faces Dustin Poirier for the right to fight for the lightweight title of the promotion. In the main co-event, Michael Chandler will face Dan Hooker in another crucial 155-pound match.
