MMA events are shown on regular HDNet (non-PPV), and also sometimes on Sports On Demand for a reasonable price if you don't have HD service but have digital cable.

The following was from the TV listing email:

HDNet is the place for those who love MMA.
Those who don't like it, don't get it!

i'd just like to suggest you hire stephen quadros to do the commenting on DREAM events. he is by far the most knowledgable commentator in the business. trigg is ok, but the fight professor is the real deal.

To HDNet Fights:

I love the channel and was thrilled to see the two Dream Cards this weekend.

Also the "watching HDNet at a Friend's house" scrolling across the bottom had me and my friend's cracking up. My good friend will be moving in a few months, he will be getting Dish Network at his new apartment just so he can subscribe to HDNet, even though he doesn’t have an HD Television.

With all of that said, the commentary on both shows was simply atrocious. Not just because the action and general noise in the arena were often louder than the commentators, but the overall lack of energy in the commentary booth (which may have attributed to the pBp being difficult to hear). While I like Trigg as a fighter and I think Kenny Rice does a good job playing second Fiddle to Bas, they don't need to do commentary with one another again... ever. Because Kenny Rice was one of the commentators I assume that you guys control who does commentary for the Dream Shows. Bas already does work for you on Inside MMA and he is almost unanimously agreed upon as the best commentator by those of us in the know. Sitting him on the sidelines and giving Trigg the nod seems like a major blunder. You could easily put together a Bas / Quadros or Bas / Mauro (sp.) team and give the events more energy. More energy in the booth translates into more energy in the living room, which would likely translate into more HDNet subscribers.

Also, thank you for not having the camera on Ron Kruck during the shows intros. That was really disappointing on the Fedor card and I was thrilled to see that improvement.
Keep up the good work and your subscriber base will keep growing.

Goodridge is out for MFC 16... but that's not new news... he was complaining about his pay and the fact that he couldn't find a few weeks before the fight... oh well, I guess he doesn't have a choice now... he went and got KO'd and injured... he's done...
Ryan Ford will be worth the admission though...
