skene11 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 If Setanta go under (which is pretty much inevitable), who will get the rights to broadcast the UFC events?! UFC 100 is coming up, and for whoever watches UFC, they will know how big an event this is, and I need a channel to watch it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Apparently they're making an announcement tomorrow about what channel UFC 100 will be shown on, and then a further announcement about it's permanent home after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo1982 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I believe the station will be revealed tomorrow and the favourite is Virgin - Bravo will probably get the replays. Sky and UFC didn't have a great relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skene11 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Alves?! I agree with the other two, but I think St. Pierre will take the fight to the ground, and destroy Alves. Just has to watch out for Alves' submissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo1982 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Alves has a punchers chance. Hughes couldn't take him down even if it goes to ground Alves will get right back up imo. Will be a cracking fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts_crazy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I think it will be Bisping, GSP and Lesnar. I know Mir beat Lesnar last time but I think Brock will get revenge this time Mir got lucky last time, Lesnar was well on his way to pummelling the living feck out of him when he got hold of Brock's leg and held on for dear life, if that hadn't worked no way Mir would have won that match(IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Juan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I will be supporting Lesnar - for no other reason than his ring enterance music for his last fight was "Shout at the Devil" by Motley Crue - which made me laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I used to like Bisping but after watching the last series of Ultimate fighter when he was coach I have come to the conclusion he is a complete tosser he did not even turn up for one of his fighters fights because he knew the guy would not win.What kind of coach is that and his excuse was he over slept.2 time pride champion Henderson will destroy him.GSP will win his title fight and Brock v Mir well my head says Brock but I just don't know.

jambo1982 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 UPDATE: UK UFC broadcaster announced tomorrow, Virgin 1 favourite After much waiting, panicking and re-arranging, it is likely that the UK UFC office will announce tomorrow where the new home of the UFC in the UK will be, and it is expected to be Virgin 1. The news came across our desk tonight that the announcement UK fans have been waiting on for weeks, which channel UFC 100 will be broadcast on, will be released tomorrow and that Virgin 1 is expected to be showing the event. Virgin 1 was the free view home of the ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter, and as such has amassed a large number of UFC fans as regular viewers. It is not known yet, should Virgin 1 get the rights to show the event, whether they will be showing all other related programs. Such as ?Ultimate 100? and the ?Countdown? show for UFC 100. I?m sure UK fans would rather have UFC 100 on its own than nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teato Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 can someone please tell me what channel ufc 100 will be on cos i cant find it anywhere on the ufc website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDD Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It still hasn't been announced yet. This article below is about UFC coverage in Mexico but mentions that no UK coverage is announced. http://mmajunkie.com/news/15446/ufc-100-to-broadcast-live-in-mexico-on-network-channel-televisa.mma Still hoping for Virgin1 but no clue when they will announce it. If there is to be coverage then they almost have to announce it today so the channel have time to advertise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo1982 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Still no mention of UFC 100 being on UK tv however I believe that from UFC 101 it will probably be on the new ESPN channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvins ear Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I used to like Bisping but after watching the last series of Ultimate fighter when he was coach I have come to the conclusion he is a complete tosser he did not even turn up for one of his fighters fights because he knew the guy would not win.What kind of coach is that and his excuse was he over slept.2 time pride champion Henderson will destroy him.GSP will win his title fight and Brock v Mir well my head says Brock but I just don't know. I know what you mean, I didn't mind Bisping before, but after watching the last series of TUF, I hope Henderson puts him in his place. Where did his massive Ego come from? The only decent fighter he's come up against (evans) beat him, albeit unconvincingly, and he should added a loss against Hamill, now he could be up against silva if he beats Handerson. Anderson would destroy him! I hope Mir beats Lesnar, as I always seem to prefer a good technical fighter over brute strength, but Lesnar seems o be getting better all the time.

Greedy_Jambo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 It seems that channel 433 on sky is racing world. Not racing uk. So it looks like if you have virgin (like i do) you can't watch ufc 100 tonight Totally pee'd off about this like. Only reason i got the XL package was because it had setanta on it.

Say What Again Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Bisping will punch him out: Oh will he now?
