UFC fans were having difficulties accessing the UFC 292 PPV stream and they were not happy about it.
It appears as though the PPV went down in international markets like Canada and France, though it's possible American viewers also had issues.
UFC fans took to Twitter to voice their frustration and look for help.

At press time, the first bout Marlon Vera vs. Pedro Munhoz was just beginning, there were still four other fights left on the card, including two five round title fights.
