Halcyon Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I heard last night it might be on Virgin1, although that's not confirmed yet I also heard that rumour, but I'd be very surprised if it happens. It would be good for the channel, and would strengthen their identity as a quality MMA provider, having just shows TUF and starting BAMMA (British Association MMA) in a couple of weeks. Can't see them being able to stump up the cash the likes of ESPN have offered, and they don't have the terrestrial appeal that five have (who are also in the hunt apparently).

luckysalt Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I also heard Virgin 1 is showing it this weekend, love that! Thought that Sky would have snapped it up for box office EDIT- Just did some research and it apparently 6 different networks have bid for it and they're still fighting it out for it, so seems it will definatly be shown Hope its free to air though Edited July 8, 2009 by luckysalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Liam Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Some unbelievable promo work. I could cry at the greatness of Lesnar and Mir. Apparently the countdown show is absolutely unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Liam Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 http://galaxiawrestling.blogspot.com/2009/...reviewshow.html this one? Think so. I have never quite seen anything like it. 3 nights to go and I dont think I will be able to sleep because of the greatness of that show.

Uncle Liam Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Its on Sky channel 433 and there will be a live feed on the UFC website apparently. Whopp! Predictions: LESNAR St. Pierre Henderson Which is what most of the world seems to be going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictions: LESNAR St. Pierre Henderson Which is what most of the world seems to be going for. Dammit.... doubt I get that, being on virgin and all. Sopcast it is then. I'm going for Lesnar, GSP, Bisping (gotta support the home talent), Paulo Thiago, and Akiyama. Just watched the countdown show... absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend it (certainly the first half) to anyone with even a passing interest. Mir is such a fabulous smarmy git, Brock comes of as somewhat of a babyface. Superb analysis of their first meeting; even if the door spot was staged... it was still fantastic. Brock on Mazzagatti: "I wanna punch that f**king mustache right off his face" Brock on Mir: "He's just a glorified karate kid who won a few fights and here he is.... with a golden horse shoe up his ass." That's BUYZ~! right there that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Theres gunna be shit loads trying to watch it on Saturday night, the stream is gunna be shite, and people who've watched iit live online in the wake of this news are saying how bad its been in the past Its not acceptable, it really isn't, UFC should have allowed it to go on a channel like Virgin1, its obvious Sky have got the exclusive and then are using it as a tester for viewing figures and then when its so popular which it will be, they're gunna sign it up and put every show on box office Damn you Setanta for f**king it up!

Phil, you best off avoid facebook as well. I'm watching it live... in fact, I've just spent the last 4 or 5 hours playing ufc on the xbox. Lots of fun. I've just connected to my Sopcast and it's a rock solid... not a single buffer so far. Soo much more reliable than ufc's stream or any justin.tv feed will be imo. If you need it, download, install and run this freeware program: http://download.sopcast.cn/download/SopCast-3.2.4.zip ... and then click this little linky: sop://broker1.sopcast.com:3912/24267 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
