I saw a statement from the UFC that you won't be able to watch UFC 186 on Dish. What the craps going on now??
No UFC 186 on Dish!

DISH Network Will Not Offer UFC 186 PPV; UFC Releases Statement http://sports.yahoo.com/news/dish-network-not-offer-ufc-186-ppv-ufc-012914261--mma.html
How does this card even qualify for PPV?
Have ya seen the list of fights?
For whatever reason UFC would rather Dish customers not pay and instead view the event elsewhere (already paid by someone else).
Wait... Don't PPVs make money on number of paying customers?
UFC knows this?
But tell otherwise paying Dish customers to watch it 'shared' via someone else's already paid feed.

UFC PPV's are the top earnings PPV events now that WWE PPV's are gone. So this move comes as a surprise.
PPVs aren't worth the high price tag on them.

Them must be worth something to the people that order them as they are making a boatload of money from them.
this is total crap.
I've been buying UFC on Dish for the past 4+ years (yes, every one of them) I'm a fan, it's one of the very few things I spend money on for only myself that I enjoy. I have lots of friends over to watch and we have a great time.
My house is setup with multiple screens and everything hinges on Dish equipment.
What a pisser.

That sucks man. If you want to continue to be the host for these events you may have to invest in a Roku and some kind of HDMI splitter to feed all of your TVs if you have the internet to support it. If not you may have to switch providers.
Hopefully this is a quick negotiation and they get back on Dish before the next event. You never know with these things though.
From a quick google search it doesn't look like Fire TV supports the UFC app. Like you said, it may be possible with sideloading but I'm not sure.
The reason I mentioned a splitter is because they may limit the amount of active streams you can have at once. I've never used UFCs internet offering but MLB.tv seems to cap theirs at 6 active streams at a time. Some other streaming services limit you to one active stream at a time. Depending on how many TVs you are trying to feed you may not be able to stream to all of them with one PPV purchase.
Another issue if you try to stream to all of them at once instead of using a splitter is the internet connection. Depending on how fast your internet speeds are and how many TVs you are trying to feed you might not have enough bandwidth to support it.
