ESPN apologizes for technical issues that plagued UFC 257 pay-per-view

UFC 257 may go down as one of the biggest pay-per-views in the history of the sport but not everything was as flawless as Dustin Poirier’s second-round knockout against Conor McGregor to cap off the event.

At the start of the broadcast, there were issues with some potential viewers being unable to actually purchase the card through ESPN+. Additional users reported problems actually accessing the pay-per-view broadcast after already paying for the event.

On Monday, ESPN issued a statement to MMA Fighting regarding the technical issues that caused problems for some viewers during the UFC 257 broadcast.
