ESPN+ down due to low ufc ppv buys

In a recent report by Disney, ESPN+ recorded low results owing to a decrease in average UFC PPV buys.

[{"selector":"#anim-7fe8560d-d11f-4ca0-9946-64cabbdde8e5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] UFC has seen some incredible cards this year, with the likes of Francis Ngannou, Justin Gaethje, Michael Chandler, and Israel Adesanya among others making their presence felt inside the Octagon.

With Conor McGregor performing twice last year, it's safe to say that the numbers might not hold competition with UFC's 2021 PPV buys.
