Another wrote, “Lol. ESPN+ isn't letting me buy the UFC318 ppv. I'm literally getting 3 different errors on 3 different devices. Went with Netflix, did they?”
A third user added, “ESPN, how do ya'll manage to make the ESPN Plus app worse with every update? I used to be able to watch #UFC events from the start or skip around the broadcast, now it's forward or nothing. Just trying to give you and @danawhite money but this stupid app won't let me.”
Another user expressed, “No need to complain about espn plus not letting us buy #UFC318 they won’t fix it anyway.”
