No, it's not a full event, like UFC 118,119 OR 120.

I think it's under different broadcasting contracts.

UFC will be back with 117 on ESPN

I thought ESPN had full rights to all events,they had the Ultimate fighter finale and a previous fight night i cant recall

Take it easy dude...

The Event is on Sunday in the States... meaning it will be shown on ESPN - 2am MONDAY morning. It is up on the Schedule http://tv.espn.co.uk/schedule/

ALSO it is 'UFC on Versus' as it is shown on the US Channel 'Versus' and not the usual PPV in the states.

Personally I think I will 'acquire' this online as I really hate having to fast forward between the ads (judging from the other Fight Nights, an ad break every 5mins... pain in the a$$).

I cant spell his name properly but Marshall Zelaznik (i think !) has said on his Facebook that it will be shown live on espn on sunday nite.

This happens with UPC too. They seem to update closer to the time, so wait till tomorow if, like me, your setting it to record

The event is definitely on ESPN. Its on Sunday night (monday morning) at 2a.m. Just Sky Plus'd it this morning!

Oh a kind of related note, went to visit the UFC site to check which night the event is on and chrome is telling me that the site may be hosting malware.
Anyone else getting this?
