I never noticed this thread before
Coenen is really getting the VIP treatment there!
Anyone bothered with ufc this weekend? Weak card (compared to some). Its getting a lot of flak but I'm still looking forward to it...
Me too not a massive Bisping fan. Akiyama had a great fight against Lieben but as much as Lieben is a tool he's a great fighter, esp coming in late...
Hardy's got a great style I like the punchy guys Its just more exciting, his wrestling needs serious work to be a true contender though GSP made bits of him...
Yeah I forgot about it being free in the states, I pay for the channel as opposed to per event if that makes sense.
No,theres no ppv thats the thing, I pay for the channel and the events are free/included in that price....
daikkenaurora means all the events that are PPV here are "free" on the channel you pay for (ESPN right?). So while people here have to pay like $59.99 per event.. you pay a flat fee yearly for the channel which includes all those events.
The thing about overseas cards from the UFC.. they're usually filled with talent that's big in that area. So for the England events the talent is mostly from England. Not big draws here in the states.. but those names usually attract a nice amount of people for the live show.

Yeah thats it. Only problem is I dont get TUF, espn classic shows all the older ones but for some reason not the current series
As far as the UK shows, I dont really mind them showing the local guys cos its all about increasing the popularity of mma in general over here. It'll happen but it just takes time. For example I was just watching the build up to saturday there and Joe Rogan was saying that Bisping is the biggest mma fighter in the uk which is way off, the biggest is Alex Reid and thats only because he's married to Jordan
In case you've all been spared her in the states shes a page 3 model, plastic surgery horror show and all around great role model
You may want to avert your eyes...
