Don't be too happy about that

When Setanta went tits up, Zuffa had to go with ESPN as it was a quick deal and they were willing to slot UFC events into there schedule at short notice.

As soon as the contract with ESPN is up expect Zuffa to move over to Sky, and also expect to pay extra for 75% of Main events as they'll put them on Sky Box Office

I will be very upset if that happens.

UFC is the main reason i have ESPN.

Which sky sports station is showing the final and what time please.

jayteecork

Wouldn't be too mad at the card for the finale.
Stephan Bonner headlining? Much as I like the guy he's just an exhibitionist/gatekeeper at this stage.

Does the next episode include semi-finals + final or have I missed the semi-final episode?

Do you mean on Sky? They haven't shown any of the semi's yet, but I see they're showing three episodes in a row before the live show on Saturday, so I assume that that'll be the semi's.

dunkamania

I believe they are wrapping up the season with a two hour show tomorrow, followed by the finale this weekend.

Fozzy

If Sky are airing the finale live will they be showing the semi-finals before then? Or will it be next Tuesday that the semis get aired?

TechnoPool

anyone got a link to this weeks episode?

This is absolute crap! I pay for ESPN so that i can watch UFC and they're showing it on Sky Sports which I don't have. Make up your bloody mind - pick one station. I can't afford both :mad:

Surprised they used Daley in that clip, I seriously doubt he's too happy about it either.

I'd be more surprised if they didn't use Daley tbh
He was part of the road to the final, the UFC own the rights to that fight

i still think this is brookin to lose, im gonna go for him and johnston in the final with brookins to win it by sub

Michael Johnson is going to get his arse handed to him in the final.

ESPN don't show latest episodes of The Ultimate Fighter.

I'm here to ask for a link and wondering if people wouldn't mind using spoiler tags for five minutes until I get one.

Don't be a fcuking prick imo.

jayteecork

Nam and Johnson was a great fight.

I think Brookins will murder Johnson though.

Lads, let's keep the bullsh*t out of the thread and use our heads and click the "report post" button instead.

Personal abuse is unacceptable and will see people banned.

I could understand when the UFC went to ESPN and Setanta was still showing TUF. I'm sure they got some kind of contract and had to be allowed to finish up. But to then go and give the show to SKY Sports annoys me. I'm not a big fan of the TUF series and haven't been following it online but to me the Finale is something that should be on ESPN. As with Fight Nights and Verses. I heard rumours that SKY are using it (TUF) to put out feelers to work out just how popular this MMA thing is. If it makes sense to them then they'll probably take it from ESPN.
Grand if this happens I just want to be able to watch all my UFC on one station. Mind you, I'd hope that if/when it goes to Sky I hope they don't give us all the UFC stuff for free but ask you to 'Pay per View' for the numbered shows.

I was rooting for Nam, he has a good attitude and work ethic and I felt bad for the guy. Good fight though and a close one too. Could of gone either way and Nam did well to get up from the takedowns.
The Brookins/ Watson fight annoyed me a bit. I wasn't impressed with Watson in any of his fights. He just took people down, controlled them for 10 minutes, did zero damage and grinded out wins. Brookins did impress me, he was quick and excplosive in most of his fights and got some impressive subs. However, in the fight against each other it was like they reversed roles. Watson actually threw a few punches and tried to keep it standing; while Brookins fought like Watson usually fights. It was strange.

Brookins was good, Watson... bad. Where were his supposed JJ skills? He didnt try a submission for the entire fight and looked somewhat lost on the ground...

Johnson was better against Pham than he has been all season. His hands are still ugly but he can certainly take hits! He needs to find a way to finish fights because takedowns are all well and good but they arent an end in themselves.

The carry on in the house was childish nonsense. Little girls screaming ohhh we saw his dick. Wow, big deal. I think it was clear that Kos's coaching is questionable, but he does have a point, those guys only have themselves to blame.

I was rooting for Pham during the season but the possibility of Kos getting a fighter into the finals along with the whole jock-team thing made me feel happy that Johnson took a deserved decision.

Brookins will murder Johnson imho and will go on to be a force in the UFC by the looks of it.

God I hope GSP murders Kos. I am rarely affected by "marketing" but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy that PPV now, I really just want to see him demolished.

Think Sako and Wilko and some of the other yellow team are scum after bursting in on Nam like that.

The guys are all away from women for about 2 months, who wouldn't have a **** in the shower?

Bursting in like that was fairly pathetic, just shows what bad, jealous losers they are.

unknown13

Stephan Bonner on MMA Live analysed it perfectly.

If Brookins can get this to the ground, he has the better BJJ and possibly submit Johnson. If Johnson can stuff the take downs then has the better striking to win the fight. I think this is going to be a very close fight. I am going Brookins by SD.

Nam / Garcia is going to be a great fight. I think Nam is going to be very dangerous at 145. He has the more polished striking than Garcia but Garcia is easily the toughest fighter in MMA and is a warrior. Nam takes a UD here.

Going for Wilko and Watson in the other fights.

gary s

i wonder what odds on brookins to win by rear naked choke

I don't think Nam has the striking to beat Garcia. Once Garcia keeps it standing -he has this. Nam fell apart after Johnson opened up on him with Garcia's cardio he can easily keep the pressure on long enough for Nam to fall to pieces.
