    They're all on Setanta Sports 1, so you just subscribe to Setanta and you get all the shows. No extra charges

    Setanta Sports is next to impossible to cancel. Dont think its worth paying 30euro a month to watch a UFC event, far better to get it on the cheap by going to someone elses place to watch it. Will be a big loss to Bravo

    It's half that price on NTL I think

    I'm not a fan of NTL but I subscribed for a few months about 6 months ago and had no problems cancelling my subscription.

    It's also 15 euro a month and not 30.

    Will the American events be on live or on delayed transmission like Bravo?

    Yeah I'm wondering, the ads actually say live. Maybe both?

    They'll be live at 3am on a Saturday night. And you can be sure that they'll be repeated too. If they're smart then they'll put on a replay at the same time that Bravo used to show the events, on a Sunday night

    No. I mean that Setanta would be smart to put a replay on at 9pm on a Sunday since that's the time everyone's used to watching UFC. There won't be many people staying up til 6am to watch it live

    No what he's saying is that Setanta will be showing it live but if they're smart they'll show a repeat at the same time Bravo used to.

    My kids convinced me to get Setanta for the RWC and boy am I glad now. With most of the boxing live from the States its repeated at various time the following day so I'd presume they'll do the same with the UFC. I think its only €15 a month which isn't bad value especially if you're into rugby or ....soccer:(

    They won't be. Setanta have exclusive rights to all UFC footage over here once The Ultimate Fighter is over

    Yeah I watched the first two. Chris Leben is a langer, Swick at LHW, Kenny Florian and Diego at MW, Randy and Chuck being carried on an armchair by their teams through some obstacle course....

    Yeah, i ve been tuning into the re-runs of the 1st series of TUF too.

    Its interesting to see how many of the guys are still fighting for the UFC compared with the subsequent TUF series.

    You got Griffin, Bonnar, Leben, Kos, Diego, Swick, Florian and Quarry all still active and relatively sucessful 3 years later. 8 out of 16 guys is some return for the UFC.
