Everyone assumes that 2021 will be better than 2020. Overall, that may be true. But it doesn’t mean it will be better for each individual group. Based on Dana White’s recent comment, 2021 will be far worse for savvy illegal streamers than 2020.
White responded to some random guy on Instagram who is counting down the days that separate him from illegally streaming movies and the upcoming UFC 257: Poirier vs. McGregor 2 card. Without much detail, White teased a “surprise” for “mother fuckers” like @isreal.guitian.
Uncle Dana has a surprise planned

Ever since Dane White released a video dunking all over the woke sports media, he has had my full support. I’m rooting for him and against “mother fuckers” like @isreal.guitian. Taking down the illegal streamers won’t be easy though. It may take giving Jeff Bezos and Amazon the UFC for a discount to accomplish it.
After the recent streaming price hike from $59.99 to $64.99, the appetite for free UFC fights will only grow. For some viewers, that $5 difference is worth the risk of a computer virus.
Hopefully, Dana White makes clear that he plans to take down crooked streamers before the event on January 23, 2021. It’s always better to know your potential punishments before watching a low-quality broadcast with a bunch of pop-ups.
Transmitting a computer virus knowingly is a felony.
My biggest problem with UFC is that I have to pay for ESPN+ to watch it.
All the black hats are saying thanks for the heads up
I don’t understand for the life of me why they haven’t figured out a way to monetize combat sports outside of charging $50+ per event.
