Online Version of UFC televised PPV...

ilivetolearn

Hi All,

I really enjoy UFC. Furthermore I enjoy better live.

I don't have any channels on my television. I mainly stick to youtube and DVD's.

Is there an online PPV option for UFC events? I just can't wait for 99 and 100!

Please note that I am not looking for an illegal alternative. I enjoy the orgnaization and wish to support it in whatever I can (i.e. by way of PPV or DVD).



Mods: I'm not sure if pics are allowed so delete at your leisure...

If you have Eircom broadband I think you can watch on your PC

Eircom provide Setanta Sports Ireland. It is very rare that UFC PPV's are shown live on that channel. It is almost always Setanta Sports 1 and 2. They can be subscribed to online.

Not sure if it is available in Ireland though.

Thanks for this lads but unfortunatley I have BT Interenet.

It would be great if there were sports bar like in the states.

Don't Yahoo show it on their website - I am sure I watch Chuck v Tito 2 on Yahoo back in the day.

If the one in Germany is on European time (only saying this as I read somewhere that UFC 99 will be live in America at ten, but I doubt it will be) you should be able to watch it in a pub.

Where?

I dont know for sure but when it was Bisping v Leben in the UK I watched it in Morgans, Galway, so I would assume any pub that has Setanta Sports 1&2 would put it on if you asked.

They did when I asked them to put it on.

It will be live in the states at 3pm Eastern Time so that will be 8pm here.

Yeah I often wondered why the UFC don't just let you stream it live off their site and charge you directly

If you go to the UFCs main page, click on the fight card link for the event.
One of the sections above the fight card says "How to Watch". Click this and theres an online section that directs you to Yahoo!s sports page. You can sign up, pay and watch the fights live there

They used to but now its outsourced to Yahoo

The Yahoo sports thing costs about €30 per event. Setanta Sports package is €18 per month on UPC and €21 per month on Sky.

The cheapest digital pack with UPC is €20 per month or €25 with DVR.

So for €43 per month you could get all of Setantas UFC coverage as well as MMA that's shown on Bravo and Virgin1.

Plenty of other sport and decent channels too.

The Yahoo sports thing only gives you 24 hours to watch it too.

I know I'd rather spend €15 more for a much better deal, especially if you were considering getting every UFC PPV.

I don't know if that Yahoo site shows the Ultimate Fight Nights either, but Setanta normally does.

Casino's would probably show it, however I'm sure it wouldn't be a great atmosphere and may not be too loud.
