BT SPORTS AT 3AM FOR US


I would love to see jung take the belt of aldo but just
don't see it happening
Zombie has been training like a demon for this and said in
the countdown video that he would give his life to be
the champion
I hope he fights sensibly and sticks to whatever gameplan
he has prefight
Think the main card will be won by brazilians even if
two of those five fights are contested by the natives


Not sure what else to say

hoping machida takes the win but I've a feeling it won't
be exciting to watch but it'll be better than jake and rory surely
machida pts for me

Watson leites another potentially interesting match up and I'm only
thinking that if watson can keep this standing
otherwise I think he could spend most of this on his back

El Guapo!

I can't see the zombie getting past Aldo at all. I think Aldo wins by tko in the 2nd or 3rd. I reckon Aldo leg kicks him to pieces in the lead up to the finish.

I'll be rooting for Watson too. I like him as a fighter and want to see him do well but this could be a difficult challenge for him. Should be a great fight either way.

And I get to watch this in a pub again. Happy days!

If you insist......

I'll be heading back to Hooters where I can sit drinking at the bar, watch the fight, and get served chicken wings by hot women wearing tight tshirts and hot pants.

You're annoying me now (depressing me rather)
Must give you my number/email for when you're in hooters next

Mr. Manager

The gambling man in me wants to throw a score on the Korean Zombie to win @6.5 but it's pretty obvious that Aldo, as Guapo said, will kick the legs off him in the first two rounds to prevent him shooting for a takedown.

I also think the Machida/Davis fight will be a total bore fest. As good as it was to see Davis improve his striking it wasn't exactly exhilarating to watch.

Jung's plodding style will be his downfall. If he keeps Aldo on the ground he can take advantage of his conditioning problems also Jung hasn't been 5 rounds ever iirc.

This isn't on any channel???
I've just checked old espn, new bt sports 1 and 2, and setanta. It's not listed??!!
Ive been looking forward to this one for ages.
I know there's lots of threads already on UPC's crap communication with the changeover of coverage so I rang them and took the 2 months free offer and now I can't even find the event
Anyone know anymore?

ring upc if you cant log in through their site.
First 2 months are free. They will tell you T&C on the phone for cancelling.
Its 16 a month.

But does that mean i have to sign a new 12month contract with upc?

Tubbs4

From the terms it looks like another 12 months but better to ask on the phone

Lambasted

I wasn't given any t &c's on the phone today. Nothing mentioned about a new 12 month contract that I just read about on another thread

Probably not a 12 month contract then. Just saw their t&c on upc.ie about addiing bt sports. That's why I would ask on the phone as I am not a 100%.

Hope this is a good card with no fights like last time with Rory.

Package

Does anyone know what the Craic is with bt1 and sky?

Just saw this is not on espn.

You need to pay 19.99 a month to get BT Sport. Its part of the setanta package

so the espn charge just disappears and you have to set up a new package?

In fairness there is an 11 page thread on this forum discussing it. I'm not sure how you could have missed it either as the UFC's deal with BT Sports has been widely discussed since it was announced months ago. Not just on here, but on all the major MMA sites.

And if you're with Sky you will have stopped being charged for ESPN last month. Don't know about UPC.

Agreed more listenable than those other two for sure

El Guapo!

I'm in Hooters watching the fights and there's tv screens everywhere showing different sports.
On one tv there's a swimsuit pageant on, and guess who's presenting it?...........


..........Chael Sonnen.
Is there no end to this mans talent?!

El Guapo!

Oh, and Kenny Florian is co-presenting it. :pac:

Lenin Skynard

Stann is excellent alright. I wish the UFC would train either himself or Florian to do the main commentary job so that they can get rid of Anik. He's really the weak link in the whole thing.

Lenin Skynard

For some reason every time I see Anthony Perosh I think of the Aussie guy from the Simpsons with the giant boot who was going to kick Bart up the arse.

El Guapo!

Well that was impressive!

lertsnim

Perosh must have somewhere else to be. That was fast

Yeah Anik is a bit of a disappointment. He was refreshing at first but everyone realised very quickly it's not the job for him.
He was great on Inside mma though and everyone thought he'd do well in the job. He really doesn't fit the role though.

Wrongway1985

Very good first round by those flyweights those knees were disgracefully low though

Lenin Skynard

Hope Leites takes this, I always feel he was a bit hard done by with his release from the UFC back in the day.

El Guapo!

Total destruction of Watson there. It was heading for a 10-8 round till he stood up I reckon.

I can't see Watson getting out of this one.

Either can I Leites reallly made Watson look like he was picked up off the street for the first 4 mins. A very complete ground clinic

El Guapo!

Another dominant round from Leites.
I have to hand it to Watson though, he hasn't took a step backwards the whole fight. He has some heart.

Wrongway1985

Judging by that round Watson could get a punchers chance

leggo

Was Watson shown up to be a bit out of his depth there? He has entertaining fights and is British so is useful to UFC, but I've always felt he's not anywhere near the top level of fighters.

I like Watson but he was totally lost there. He's not contender level and he's probably not gonna get there either going by that performance.

leggo

Mutante is definitely one to watch. I know Santos was a fill-in but that was still impressive.

El Guapo!

Yeah that was impressive. Cracking left hand to start it all off.

El Guapo!

Rd 1 to Machida I reckon.

Defo think Davis needs to lay off the kicks Machida seems to have those well sussed seizing oppurtunities including the slight flurry there in the first

El Guapo!

Tight enough 2nd round but Davis might have stole it with the takedown near the end.

Wrongway1985

Davis really needs the takedown earlier in the third, closer round there
