Fightnight on Eurosport

O'Leprosy

Seen a programme on Thursday at 11.30pm on Eurosport called FightNight, features various M.A. - Muay Thai, Cage Rage, Karate. Don't know if it's on any other night. Worth a watch.

I believe its on again either on the weekend or sometime next week. They showed Jeff Monson win the 10K challenge [or atleast 2 of his matches] Some MT matches. It was a good show. I have to get Sky+ when I get back from vacation to kepe up with all the MMA stuff on now.

Don't know. I just figured with all of the other sporting events going on they shelved fightclub. Might be a good idea for everyone to write ot Eurosport UK and show support for the show.

I loved fightclub and the events they covered, I even grew fond of the crazy guy that commentates- on genki sudo pulling guard- "sudo goes for the jump mount, oohhhh he'll have to settle for half guard there"

Yeah, it's not a bad programme, it was a nice mix of striking and grappling. Don't know if it is repeated at the weekend.

Just watched a kickboxing show on Eurosport 2 it was in the 'Fight club' format with Will Vanders commentating. Vanders seriously needs to come up with some new lines.

Just about to watch the Fight Night Show, recorded it Thursday night with Sky +. have to say folks Sky + is the business.

I have the NTL Digital plus package, 100 channels blah, blah. Only got it to watch the UFC on Bravo. Eurosport wasn't on my package for a long time, only back recently. So what channels on Sky+ show Martial Arts ? Any of them show Pride ? ( Sky sports 2 I beleive does ) Does Sky + mean you have to pay extra for the sports channells ?

Eurosport used to show PRIDE events. Don't know if that's still possible since Zuffa purchased it. Sky+ programming is the same as Sky except that the Sky+ converter box allows you to record selected shows are replay at your leisure.

Eurosport is always good for showing MA. It used to be on basic cable and it was a disgrace when they took it off in favour of NBC which sucked. I remember from years ago it used to show the top Judo tournaments, boxing, kickboxing and demonstrations. Have not seen the channel for years. I want it back.

Eurosport is a basic channel on Chorus and Sky.
