    What is the best source for footage?

    Outside of being able to simply watch and record all the events on a DVR, what is the best place to go for fight footage? I seem to have trouble with the obvious YouTube. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    If I can't find a fight, I'll go off of Sherdog's Play by Play on the event. The Play by Play is a little biased, but that's a last resort for myself.

    You're on the wrong torrent site friend. I've got facebook prelims for pretty much every card ever.

    Personally I'm on a private tracker, they have sign ups open to the public from the 1st-3rd of every month.

    Your best bet is just to download them, and if needed, load them up onto USB keys. Prelims are totally available on the one I am at, but the seeders for prelims (and especially facebook prelims) usually vanish after a week or two...

    Apparently you've never seen Tim Sylvia vs Assuerio Silva.

    No wonder Tim Sylvia has been banished from the big show....dropping a load on an opponents face is downright disrespectful.... I assume he had full mount? Lol
    But yes, I have heard about Mr poopy pants too haha

    USB keys? WTF do you mean? Why would you do that rather than put them on your harddrive? Need a lot of thumbdrives, my collection is over 4 terabytes now.

    What's the bulk amount strictly for UFC fights in your collection?

    I'm planning on rebuilding my HTPC with more storage.

    You used to be able to stream pretty much everything but in the last year Zuffa has gone full force at getting their videos removed from site. Also, many fighters who are making their big show debuts get videos of their fights from the small shows taken down because they don't want their opponent to be able to tape study them (I heard this directly from the fighters' themselves).

    Now, pretty much the only option is torrents. The invite-only sites are the best. You kind find pretty much everything on them.

    The best thing to do is get an external hard drive and store all the fights on there so they don't clog your computer (This way you don't have to delete them to free up space and then redownload them at a later time). Then on the external drive, organize all the fights in folders labeled with a the fighter's name and you have your own video on demand library or all the tape you'll ever need (of course makee sure to update the library as new fights happen and videos of them become available).

    This is the way I do it. Makes everything very simple and much less of a pain that seeking our videos every time.

    Great advice, thank you Luca.

    Any advice on torrent downloaders? Thank you.

    I just use uTorrent. There might be better ones but I've never had any issues with it so I never tried any others.

    How's the podcast doing since you switched to a paid model? Is it selling as well as you'd hoped?

    BitTorrent + torrentz.eu (24 to 72 hours after the fight). Facebook fights, prelims, and main card. Too freakin' easy.

    It's actually doing better than we expected. For the first event we had over double our goal and the second one we had nearly triple.

    Good to hear that, man. I'm glad that you're getting some success. I was an on-off listener for some time, and while I thought that marketing using the winning percentage of your picks was a bit misleading, I did think you both had quite a few moments of legitimate insight. Why is Adam no longer on the podcast by the way?
