One thing that confuses me is all the sub-UFC organizations -- StrikeForce, Cage something or other... there seems to be dozens. Is any of that stuff worth following? Are those like minor leagues to the UFC?
I guess the UFC XXX PPVs are the main events. Is it worth subscribing to the Fight Network?
Okay, sorry for all the questions...

The womens divisions are really getting exciting, love that Ronda has been exposed and the competition figured her out and dominated her and her creepy trainer Edmond. Jedrzejczyk is a beast, she'd probably be able to destroy 90% of the males on CP (LOL).
StrikeForce is no longer, the only somewhat competition is Bellator.
There are many smaller and regional organizations, but they aren't on network TV or anything. They are more like the AHL and CHL, where up and comers can learn and get on a role so that the UFC notices them.
There are lots of UFC cards on free TV, all UFC fight nights are the TSN channels (1,2,3,4,or 5). Those cards and PPV cards also air the prelims (usually 4 fights) on either the Fight Network / channel or TSN sometimes before the PPV mainevent.
I don't have fightpass or any app and I watch every single UFC event, some I pay for, some I download and watch it early the following morning (staying off any MMA sites and Facebook to avoid spoilers).
