If the material you're trying to watch frequently buffers, it means that you're not maintaining a fast enough connection to our servers to watch our content at the speed you selected.

UFC Pay-Per-View requires a minimum connection speed of 300kbps to watch video. On the bottom right of the player is the "Video Quality" link. Clicking it will present you with the different bandwidth options available. Selecting a lower speed than the currently displayed speed will restart the video at a lower bandwidth setting. This should reduce or eliminate the buffering.

If that doesn't solve the problem, you should configure your player to accept HTTP streams. Here's how:

  • Open the Windows Media Player.
  • On the menu bar, select "Tools" and click "Options."
  • In Options, select the "Network" tab.
  • Under Protocols, uncheck "Multicast, UDP, and TCP." Only HTTP should be checked.
  • Then hit "OK" to close this window, and "OK" again to close the Options window.
