    Its starting at 8 on Setanta Ireland.
    Hopefully its the full event and not just the prelims.

    prelims arent shown on any channel. I think they show the first hour of the main show and then cut off. thats what they did previously anyway..

    Dana just tweeted the following: "Hang tight we will be on tv. Either setanta or bravo. We are working on it"

    I thought he was talking about long term they would have something worked out and that this weekend would still go ahead on Setanta on Saturday.

    Hmmmm, does the Ufc really bring in enough for them to avoid any fat trimming that's bound to go on?

    The UFC is consistently the second most watched thing on Setanta Sports 1 after football. The last week that data is available for has football in spots 1-8 in the most watched shows, apart from The Ultimate Fighter at number 4 and Unleashed at 6. Poker's number 9 and golf's number 10. In weeks where there's a live show the UFC always does even better, so I really can't see them being in danger of being cut

    Wednesday the 27th of May at 10pm. That's a repeat from Virgin 1, right? I don't have Setanta myself. You can see the figures at www.barb.co.uk

    It looks like this is the end so. UFC 100 on Bravo seems the most likely

    Yeah unlikely to be live on Bravo. Maybe Virgin 1 will pick it up and run it live?

    After last nights coverage i really hope setanta lose it! Breaks inbetween rounds, breaks instead of entrances, full tilt poppin up every 2 f.ing minutes absolutly ridiculous!and the ads you can tell were sold off cheap to local irish companies to try get a bit of revenue going. And still advertising premiership football they dont have, business as usual my hole!!:mad:

    Good ridance setanta!

    maybe your new to all this but the ad breaks between rounds, no ring enterances etc was due to the us broadcast and setanta just put their own ads on at these times - setanta have always shown full events unlike bravo who would cut a 3hr ppv down to 2 1/4 hours doing everything you (wrongly) accuse setanta of doing

    Yeah, the show last night was aired on Spike TV in the US, not PPV, they had ads during it

    They get all Fight Nights and Ultimate Fighter Finales, as well as the odd European show

    To be honest, I'd rather the entrances get cut off from some fights than to keep them in and lose a fight like Stevenson/Diaz
