    Guy with sky just told me they don't mind people ordering ESPN for the night. People are willing to pay 12€ if they already have sky sports to just watch the fight and cancel the next morning.

    That's what i'm doing now to my mates and in HD. See you's at 6 :D

    Boetsch / Brown isn't that great with each of them taking a round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13

    Herb Dean, Mario Yamasaki and John Mc Carthy are the best. Josh Rosenthal is getting better and will be good soon.

    I really don't think he deserves this title shot. What three victories in a row gets you a title shot. I mean he lost to the last guy to mount a challenge to the title and his three wins all go to decisions.

    Is he getting this fight and a big secret bonus on the understanding that he'd hype the fight to ridiculous levels and go toe to toe with Silva.

    Is there no one else they could have matched up Silva with?

    Cheers. I've catched little bits of UFC on Setanta Ireland and at first, I hated it. But after a while, I began to see the skill in it and started to view it as a real sport. So, this will be the first UFC event I will watch on purpose:D. How many fights will there be out of interest?

    Me too ! I liked watching boxing on rte so I decided to give UFC a try. It's like WWF without all the fakeness and drama, sonnen excluded of course !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    My favourite ref is Herb Dean by a mile. Relaxed, composed and his timing is excellent. I hate Steve Mazzagatti because of his annoying "You ready? You ready? WELL LETS BRING IT ON COME ON!" - gets me every time.

    Hoping Junior Dos Santos impresses, really like the look of him. Also hope Anderson gets the win because I just cant stand the level of bull**** Chael has been spouting.

    5 scheduled, they show more from earlier in the night if they have time.

    UFC 116 (the last one) was SPECTACULAR so try and hunt that down.

    This is my 3rd UFC event. Quite looking forward to it :)

    Tell me, is it just a coincidence that every fight on the main card is America vs Brazil?

    If this was Vince he'd have made an angle out of it.:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Ah right. Like I said, big newbie here so I wasn't sure if the UFC would do a gimmick card like that on purpose or not. Was very impressed with the last two I saw (Lesnar vs Carwin and the one where Shogun pounded Macheda or something like that).

    Sorry for the noob question, but when are the refs supposed to stop the fight? I've just been watching some videos on Youtube and have seen some fairly inconsistent stoppages.
