" Q: What's the latest with HBO, and will UFC 70 be televised on HBO or PPV? DW: I don't have the deal done yet, but UFC 70 will be on free television. It's going to be a free TV deal for the fans here in the U.S. Q: Is it going to be on Spike? DW: Let's see, yup. I'm the one that's always chirping about how all these guys that destroyed boxing. Everything was f------ you've got to pay for this, you've got to pay for that. I don't like to make the fans pay for every fight we have. I like to have a lot of good fights for free, and this is a great fight that we'd be giving to the fans for free. Q: Is UFC 70 definitely going to be on Spike, or might it be on a different network? DW: It's probably going to be on Spike. Q: Are there any plans to televise preliminary bouts in the future and offer UFC fans all nine bouts on a fight card? " Source Great news for us MMA fans here in the U.S...the card looks great and it will be on basic cable? I'm liking Dana White more and more every day.
Yeah, I'm willing to bet it's because of the time difference. Checking the UFC website, it's going to be happening in England which will cause it to happen at 2pm, EST. My guess is they'll show it live on basic cable because not enough people would buy it otherwise, and the PR is worth far more than they would earn by selling it on a Sat. Afternoon. All in all, darn cool!
You always hear how Dana White is a jerk to do business with, but as a fan I think he's the best thing that happened to MMA in America since Royce Gracie in UFC 1.
Mirko Cro Cop vs. Gabriel Gonzaga David Heath vs. Lyoto Machida Fabricio Werdum vs. Andrei Arlovski Michael Bisping vs. Elvis Sinosic Assuerio Silva vs. Cheick Kongo Allesio Sakara vs. Victor Malimaki Dennis Siver vs. Jess Liaudin Matt Grice vs. Terry Etim Junior Assuncao Vs. David Lee I didnt see the full card up, so here it is. Picks?
I can't believe this is the first UFC in years that's not on Bravo, but on PPV on Setanta :bang: Crocop by decap-attack Machida by TKO or decision The Werdum/ Arlovski match is the most competitive one on the card; it could go either way. I'm picking Werdum by sub, but it's far from a done deal Bisping by TKO Silva by decision Sakara by TKO
At least us Yanks get a taste of what it means to have a PPV for FREE w00t! Anyway, it's on 4/21 9PM ET
CroCop Machida Bisping Arlovski/Werdum, too tought to call, plus i like them both Kongo Sakara other dudes don't matter
Watching UK UFC? So what are the TV options for watching the UK UFC (can't remember the number)? Is it on any channels? PPV? Setanta like last time? Bravo? Anyone know?
What guide? TV guides in the UK are crap and I can't find any mention of it on any UK tv websites. Perhaps my net-fu is weak?
