MMA Twitter freaked out over major ESPN+ issue during UFC 280.
Eagle-eyed (eared?) fans were quite upset when the commentary feed went out during the walk-outs and first fight at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. It appeared that the issue was only on ESPN+ as the fans watching on UFC Fight Pass had no issues.
The fight on display when the audio dropped was Karol Rosa vs. Lina Lansberg.
The commentary came back in the second round but not before MMA Twitter had a field day reacting on Twitter.
I’m an Anik and Felder guy.. but gimme that no commentary option just to have it dammit

I tend to watch a lot of fights on mute, but it’s better as an option, not the only option. Weird start with the house audio available, but no commentary as the UFC 280 broadcasts gets going with its first fight.

Is my ESPN+ giving me a special feed without commentary or are they just being super quiet?

Okay but I would like to hear Jon Anik, that is all

TUF has no crowd with commentary.
Abu Dhabi has a crowd with no commentary.

Pretty bad commentary here in the 1st.

Let’s hope this is the only issue with the UFC 280 fight card today.
