During the third round of the Invicta FC 8 main event between Michelle Waterson vs. Yasuko Tamada on Saturday night, the first non-UFC event to air live on UFC Fight Pass, the digital service crashed. As a result, viewers missed the conclusion of the Waterson-Tamada championship bout. At the Invicta FC 8 post-fight press conference, Ant Evans, the UFC executive leading the UFC Fight Pass service, spoke to members of the MMA media about the incident, acknowledging what happened and promising to make it right with consumers.
Fight Pass did experience a slight drop in the stream during the course of Michelle’s main event for several minutes. I’d like to be very clear this is a Fight Pass issue and we have never experienced it before, said Evans. It was definitely not an Invicta issue. We’d like to apologize to Shannon [Knapp] for that. Evans concluded, We’re going to do a make up for this for all of our great subscribers. Invicta FC President Shannon Knapp also spoke to the media, focusing on the positives of her promotion finally airing on the UFC Fight Pass service.
