UFC Subscriptions for crappy cards?

So, what the hell was the deal with Friday's UFC card?
I couldn't find it on TV. Was told you have to sign up to be a member of some service on the UFC website that's 10 bucks a month.

So, is this just another money grab by the UFC? 10 bucks a month for a 1 or 2 crappy cards a month going forward?

Yup, that was the big announcement last week. What a CROCK!
"Hey y'all we signed a deal with FOX! Ya know what that means... FREE CARDS!"
Jump to the near future
"Hey y'all want to watch those "Free" FOX cards? Buy the FOX sports package and tune into FOX Sports 1."

"Hey, you know those once free cards that were bringing in decent numbers on FOX and FS1? We know some of you can't get FS1 in your area yet. So guess what!? We are taking half of those "crappy" cards and putting them on our new and exclusive "Channel" online! Only $10 a month! Plus you will get access to all those fights we once uploaded free to youtube... BUT NOW YOU'RE EXCLUSIVE!!! UFC! JUST BLEED!!!"
 

fkn lame.
I guess I will just stream those too then.

UFC looking to pad the lost PPV revenue... with GSP and Anderson out who YOU gonna pay for?

My understanding is that the UFC Fight Pass (or something like that; it's that package Chrom is talking about) was put out there because of the global expansion by the UFC. They will cater to the local market (in this case, China) by airing the fights in primetime for that part of the world. You can still watch the events for free, but they're on at a different time due to the timezone difference (probably at a very inconvenient time here in the States, like 5am or some shit). But if you want to watch them on your own time, you gotta get the package (or just DVR it if you have that option). They added in some more filler stuff to the package like a UFC fight Library and past events and all that to make it more appealing.

IMO it's no big loss or anything like that. The cards that you would be missing if you don't have the package are all going to be really, really lame anyway, since they are catering to the local market. So this one was full of a bunch of B-level Chinese fighters, just like one in England would be filled with a bunch of English and Irish cans, and so on, and so on.

Except I couldn't find the card on any network at all (regardless of time).
I was actually wanting to see what Lim would do against an actual average UFC opponent.
I also like Kawajiri.

I don't know, like I said; that's the way I understood it. But it's very possible I'm wrong. The whole thing is pretty confusing, so I wouldn't be surprised if I am wrong.
And honestly, even if it wasn't all that confusing, there's still a good chance I would be wrong.
