mailburner

Date: October 26, 2013
Location: Manchester, England
Broadcast: FOX Sports 2 7.30-11.30 (our time)
The event kicks off with six prelims on MMAjunkie.com (as well as Facebook and Youtube) at 12:15 p.m. ET (9:15 a.m. PT), followed by the six-fight main card at 3 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 2. The early start time accounts for the time difference, where the first fight is slated for 5:15 p.m. BST


Great to have a card on at a normal hour for a change

I'd like to see pearson come away with a win above anyone

jimmo /manuwa should be a good scrap while it lasts

Ogle/barnatt have tough tasks ahead of them imo

not sure how the main event will pan out but I'd be
thinking it won't be the most exciting to watch

Lyoto Machida vs. Mark Munoz

Apparently, the prelims are only going to be online since they cant be aired that early in the UK on BTSports. This obviously has a knock-on effect on the Setanta broadcast of it over in Ireland.

Seems like such a quandary to be in since it's the first UK card in a while, you'd really want it to be putting it on front and centre. Since broadcasting laws are preventing the airing of combat sports before that time they've got their hands tied.

Not for free. It's 16 quid a month. Their sales line is 1890 940 070 and they should set you up.

Nice submssion by Michael Scott. Most likely signal a cut for Kuiper

DrPhilG

Any clue if the prelims will still be available on youtube or MMA junkie etc after the fact or are they just running live.

Can't watch at the minute but was hoping to catch them later.

Mr. Manager

Uh oh... He has a rising sun tattoo.... quick get him off the telly

Mr. Manager

6 prelims here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6ow1fqOdu4

Well, 5 now.

Xlami

Does anyone else think the end of the Whiteford - Hettes fight was ridiculous? Neil Hall noted Hettes used fingers in the cage yet didn't do much about it. Not sure if Hettes would have got the position had he not used the fence (although Rogan's biased commentry would have you believe otherwise)

kearneybobs

It looked like he kept on using his fingers in the cage even after the ref told him not to.

Brad Scott looked really good in his fight. Looks like one to watch in the future. He's pretty funny too if my memory of him in the TUF smashes house is right.
Cant see Ogle winning this one. I'd imagine that if he doesn't win, The Little Axe will get the cut.....I'll get my coat.

Ah I thought he was robbed against Corasani but it wouldn't look good.

could be a good scrap with ogle giving his all at home
miller that bit better though

billy2012

Machida looked riped at the weigh ins!!

Both Munoz and Machida looked really well.
Miller's reach and ground game dominated the first round.

Miller by ground humping decision.

Xlami

Rogans commentary is ridiculously biased tonight.

kearneybobs

That sweep by Miller was something special.

mailburner

fair play to ogle

finished strong
some good escapes earlier

lucky for him he didnt face conor though

mailburner

wtf was that?

mailburner

nearly as one sided a beating as cain junior there

sexton was favourite for that one

barnatt craig next up

I don't think luke has a prayer here

That was on par with Cain/Bigfoot. Grim to watch at times.

Craig by TKO in the 2nd.

Sexton showed why female fighters who don't regularly fight at 135, should not fight at that class. The top fighters are too big for opponents who move up to the class from 115 or 125.

Mr. Manager

mailburner

Mr. Manager

Wow, can't believe he did it again. What a fúcking moron. Wish he lost.

What did he do?

He suffered from a case of premature celebration - i'll get my coat

He knocked Craig down twice and celebrated before he finished the job. Eventually got it done with a rear naked choke.

Mr. Manager

billy2012 wrote: »

Dropped him in the 1st and celebrated before the ref called it and then did the same again in the 2nd.

Got 2 knockdowns instead of going in for the kill both times he raised his hands in celebration thinkin he'd nothing else to do, real tosser carry on wished It came back to haunt him meself.

billy2012

Is he the English guy that was TUF last season? Tall lanky guy?

thats him

Pretty good show from Luke Barnatt. Should let the referee decide when it's over. Could have been made to look pretty stupid there. I like Luke. Always a good sport when it comes to appearing on Podcasts etc and and can fight too. Which is always a bonus in this sport.

Christ, this BT sports presenter is very attractive but utterly clueless. Could they not have gotten someone with experience or at least knows about the sport?
