    It seems Setanta Ireland are going to be showing it, if you go by their listings..

    On their website on Sunday 20th at 23.00 The Ultimate Fighter is listed, with the tag line Heavyweights.

    It is repeated Tuesday 21st at 21.00..

    I think its on in the states directly after the ultimate fight night(which is next Wednesday night?), I think UK starts the following night.

    Thanks, i'll check listings here. It probably a 12 or 36 hours behind in order to be primetime.


    Edit: found it, fight night is on live on thurs morning, the bad part is live means 10am and i'll be in work,

    TUF 10 starts the following sunday, 20th

    Any more news on this? I take it from what has been posted that it is definitely on Setanta but is it definitely NOT on ESPN? I had hoped that the 5-USA deal would be the same deal as Virgin last year, i.e. it would show on ESPN and 5-USA at different times.

    This is a joke if we have to keep subscribing to Setanta aswell as ESPN.

    It's on Setanta Ireland, so you don't have to pay. It's Setanta 1 etc that you have to pay for

    Where?

    I am an Irish Sky Digital customer. Five and Five-USA are NOT on my channel listing anywhere unless I'm going barking mad. Setanta Ireland is not free.

    The only way I can get Five is to tune it in as an extra channel. If I do that, 1-it is hit and miss whether it will be a decent picture and 2-I can't sky plus it which means if I'm working Sunday night I'm gonna have to go buy a DVD recorder. I don't even know if Five-USA can be tuned in.

    The only way I can get Setanta Ireland is by coughing up another €10 a month for 4 hours of viewing per month as I never watch anything else on Setanta Ireland.

    It's better than not having it at all.

    Still a kick in the nads for the Irish fans who the UFC rattle on about being so great. Thanks for the atmosphere at 93, best pound for pound crowd ever, now pay an extra €10 for TUF 10?!?

    Has it been announced that it will not be shown on ESPN?

    I don't think it has. But it would make no sense for ESPN to sign a deal for all UFC programming and then lose a very important part of that programming to Five. I assumed that the Five deal would be the same format as Virgin's TUF coverage last year but the announcment has not confirmed or contradicted that.

    This is very frustrating.

    which is of no use as its not on five - ITS ON FIVE USA - thats not the same channel which has been pointed out several times already in this thread - so basically, unless espn are going to show it - which they have not got it listed (they have season 9 listed) we dont have it all

    That still screws the people on Sky who aren't subscribed to Setanta. Thankfully I'm not one of them :)

    This is a complete and utter cock up, absolutely ridiculous if ESPN dont show TUF 10.

    I have been in touch with UFC employees through the Fight Club, and this is their response...

    http://uk.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=22359

    So in other words, we're no further ahead. It's on Setanta Ireland, still no word on whether we have to pay or not.

    Why wouldn't we have to pay? Setanta Ireland is a subscription channel on satellite.

    That's a disaster. The one UK channel that's incredibly difficult to get. I just don't think Setanta have a package worth subscribing to.

    ESPN really dropped the ball in losing that part of the UFC.

    Has it been announced that they have? It is all speculation from what I can see.

    I wasn't sure at that stage if it was subscription or not to Sky customers. The responses I've had from UFC administrators in the Fight Club seem to suggest that they didn't realise this though. Awaiting further responses, will update on Monday

    It is not free on Sky Digital. It costs €16/month. I don't think it has been mentioned at all before so I better say it now.

    Jesus ESPN have a crowd of fianna fails working at their lawyer offices, they definatly got screwed. TUF would have as much viewing as any UFC main event.
