They need to, but don't like it because 1, it doesn't promote upcoming fights and 2, it gives away Fight Pass Content. They are trying to promote fight pass RN, so it's a balancing between marketing old content and being fan friendly. Problem is, Hardcore fans only want it free, because YT exists. We'd RATHER watch in HD, but will take lower quality in exchange for not paying. This is at the Core of the streaming situation

Para aqueles que ainda acham que o jiu jitsu não faz diferença devia ser mostrado esta luta. A tecnica do Minotauro é 100% hard e não estou dizendo somente pela chave na finalização mas olhem como um praticante e conhecedor da arte jiu jitsu sai de forma perfeita de baixo de um monstro de mais de 120kg. Minotauro é um dos poucos que conseguiu derrotar o lendario Mirko Crocop no auge de sua carreira na epoca do mais emocionante evento de MMA ja criado PRIDE. O Pride era literalmente um verdadeiro show desde a entrada dos lutadores ate sua vitoria.

I remember watching this live. I used to have big UFC/Pride/Strikeforce parties. Pride was always our favorite, by far. We were going nuts watching this fight. It was so exciting. Nog has some chin on him. That ground and pound by Sapp has to be the scariest shit imaginable, but Nog never panicked. And Sapp's stamina was actually crazy good in this match for a man that massive. He went hard for that first 10-minute round. Watching it today it was just as exciting now
