If fans who watched Bellator 206 on DAZN had complaints about buffering issues or sub-standard picture quality, it could’ve been a lot worse.
Fans in the United Kingdom didn’t even see the main event between Gegard Mousasi and Rory MacDonald, as Channel 5 cut away from the broadcast and instead a scheduled episode of the children’s program “Peppa Pig” was on the television at 6 AM local time. Fight fans across the pond were not pleased.
So what caused such a horrendous thing to happen? Bellator officials have an explanation, and it boils down to government restrictions in the UK.
