It seems the first pay-per-view event of the year is going through some technical issues. Shortly after the start of UFC 257’s main card, many fans and veteran MMA fighters took to Twitter to complain about not being able to access the ESPN app in order to watch the card. The problems led a portion of them to complain and joke on Twitter about the whole ordeal.
