Fans who tuned in to watch the live World Series of Fighting 1 prelim video stream at Sherdog.com on Saturday (Nov. 3, 2012) night were certainly disappointed when the live broadcast cut out with two fights remaining on the undercard.
Fans who may have missed some of the earlier fights may have been pleased as the prelim card was rebroadcasted, but it still left the rest of the hard-core world wondering what had happened.
Following the WSOF event, promotion president Ray Sefo explained the situation noting that the live stream was stopped after a request by NBC Sports who wanted to have pre-taped fights on hand if there was an issue with the live television broadcast.
“NBC had the rights to the fights and that’s how they wanted to do it,” said WSOF president Ray Sefo. “I’m sorry if any fans were expecting to see the whole undercard. This was our first time through and we’re working to make it better every time out.”

WSOF 1 took place at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and is likely to be the same venue for the promotions second event when they return to Las Vegas on January 26 for WSOF 2.
