Impossible to tape study UFC fighters now?

[bink]

A year ago you could find fight videos on sites like mma-core, pancrase, etc. and tape study fights before events.

However, now it seems like it's pretty much impossible. All these sites seem to use the same 2-3 video hosts as each other and so the videos get taken down pretty quickly. I haven't been able to find a working fight video in months. Only option seems like it would be torrent them (which is a lot of data), and you still wouldn't be able to get every fight since it'd be hard to find torrents for the facebook prelims.

So is there something I'm missing? The idea of making bets on fights off of pure memory of fighters doesn't seem like a reliable strategy. You can only remember so much, and there are too many fighters and too many fights. Not to mention you can't remember the little nuances that could sway your feeling of a bet one way or the other.

I bought a membership to the ufc.tv library but it aint enough. Not even all ufc fights are online.

I'll just mention for the twelfth or thirteenth time that you can get everything off newsgroups.

I had to resort to using Torrent sites for tape study. Basically EVERY streaming video has been takedown. I know of some good streaming sites that few people know of, but even their videos are all down.

I hate torrenting because it's slow and fills up my hard drive, but it's the only way now.

mma tracker has some on occasion.

mma-torrents.com is pretty good. They offer a gamblers pack before each event which has all the main card fighters last 3 fights - I usually just download that in increments. I agree though, especially since I have shitty UK broadband it is a bit of a nightmare.

I believe I have two invites actually, if anyone wants one.

Except for newsgroups as previously mentioned, which are as fast as your internet connection can go, and completely safe.

Zuffa is on that shit they take down every video with proficiency, it's their job to make sure you don't watch for free, with that said it's not impossible.

gabe...it is only 1 day but some fighters can drink some H20/Beef back up and end up 5-6 pounds heavy

[Wanna Bet On It?]

Torrentz = how to pick winnerz

I prefer them to streaming sites as I know I'll have the fight archived on a hard drive rather than find out one day that the stream I used to access is now gone forever.

Pay the $100 for a huge drive and just torrent. **** the internet police!

He meant the few days thing, not the heavier thing.

[PaperTrail07]
