    ufc 100 was shown on the racing channel so thats worth keeping a eye on

    ESPN have the rights to the UFC in the UK and Ireland. You wont see it on Racing World.

    In other possibly related news, ESPN's new channel will be available to virgin media customers. Announced yesterday, and ESPN's website has been updated to reflect this.

    Is that a paid package?

    No it will be FREE in the UK & IRELAND for ESPN and also on ESPN HD.

    Dana White released this info over the last few days....

    not sure who you will get it for NTL or SKY.

    Thats a big IF! :)

    I think it will be a great fight - hopefully Griffin roughs him up in round one... and Silva comes out swinging round two.

    I just talked to somebody from UPC and they said “We’re still in talks with ESPN. We should have news in about a week”.

    source?



    ok - so i was just on to sky - you can subscribe nas of now 12 euro for the sky sports subscribers and 15 euro for those without - and its a 30 day rolling contract - well, almost half the price of setanta - no bunces hour as of yet but they are shoqing a junion witter boxing match on repeat in about 5 min so im happy

    also, there were posts on some thread about espn being locked out of dvrs - not true as it seems to be working as of now - this can change at any minute but i would be p'ed off as i rarely see any tv live and end up dvr-ing just about everything

    No. NTL and Sky are completely seperate platforms.

    So looks like all UPC customers won't be able to get this.
    Looks like I'll have to break in to my local boozer at 2 am if I want to see it!:(

    You wouldn't be suggesting people partake in an illegal activity now would you?

    Besides what difference would it make if ESPN is not available on cable? Think about it.

    Not possible, ESPN is being broadcast on SKY TV, those illegal boxes do not use SKY connections, they use NTL/UPC. So the illegal boxes do nothing.

    God this is terrible... been waiting for 101 for weeks and find out today i cant even watch it. Just been onto NTL and when i asked about UFC first she started telling me about Premier League matches so just shows how much she knew about what i was aking. Anyway, still no news when NTL will be carrying ESPN. Hopefully they get it sorted by UFC 102.

    Anyone know where i can watch replay footage online tomorrow? I thought i could buy the fights from the official ufc site but by the looks of it they just sell the Prelim fights.

    Ok, appears you can watch it live with 24 hour reruns online with Yahoo Sports:

    http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/ufcppv/101

    Problem is its $45 (*EDIT: Just did the conversion which works out at about €32 so i might stretch to that) which is very expensive :mad:
