UFC fans were not happy with Paramount during this weekend’s UFC 326 event.
Earlier this year, Paramount struck a deal with the UFC to air all UFC events under a low-cost monthly subscription.
“This historic deal with Paramount and CBS is incredible for UFC fans and our athletes,” said UFC CEO and President Dana White. “For the first time ever, fans in the US will have access to all UFC content without a Pay-Per-View model, making it more affordable and accessible to view the greatest fights on a massive platform. This deal puts UFC amongst the biggest sports in the world. The exposure provided by the Paramount and CBS networks under this new structure is a huge win for our athletes and anyone who watches and loves this sport.”
On Saturday night, Max Holloway faced off against Charles Oliveira in the main event for the BMF title.
The highly anticipated fight caused Paramount’s servers to crash throughout the entire event.

Fans on social media crushed Paramount for crashing during the main event.
“Paramount+ is terrible, it’s always lagging and now crashing,” said one fan.
“Stream crashed, Paramount already cutting budgets after buying Warner #ufc326,” joked another fan,
Hopefully, Paramount figures things out before the White House fight card in June.
