JonesyUK Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/story/162944.html The only good thing I see here is that they will show all the fight night cards now, but go to the ESPN website and you can see how 'committed' they are to UFC content: http://tv.espn.co.uk/gb/espl/espn-news-updates/espn-news/live-ufc-fights-on-espn?addata=live-coverage_ufc UFC coming up live and exclusive on ESPN: New to ESPN: The Ultimate Fighter, TUF: 13 episodes, showing every Friday night (starts Friday 9th March) UFC 145 Aldo Vs Mendes Sat 21st April 3:00am UFC 146 Sat 26 May 3:00am #JOKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonesyUK Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm actually ok with this cheaper than if it moved to sky. I would be far happier if they moved it to a channel that is far more committed to be honest! They dont even bother showing the sunday night replay of events anymore nor showing UFC unleashed at 10pm during the week, now showing it at 4am in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are live events now being shown at 4am:eek::confused::mad: No, the other UFC content like the UFC unleashed show which shows 2 or 3 old UFC fights like Liddell fights and that. It used be on at 10pm weekdays so you could watch it, but now its 4am in the mornings :mad: MMA live is another show too, but thats always on at 1am. Same with the countdown shows. They are just doing absolutely nothing to grow the sport here in the UK, as no casual viewers are gonna ever come across UFC when flicking through the channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonesyUK Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 They need to start showing the replays on Sunday at 10pm again. Exactly! I think the 12 month extension shows that UFC are more concerned in the immediate future with building their Brazilian market and also their new ones in asia and russia... You would think they would concentrate on tieing up the UK situation first before moving on, but hey When I went to the Stockholm event there were probably at least 1000 UK fans there!

We are miles off PPV here, did you know that ESPN only apparently get 60-70k viewers for UFC events in the UK :eek: I would just have liked to have seen a more committed channel get it, even Channel 5 have showed UFC old events at decent times, like 11pm.

ItrainUFC Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I remember when Lytle/Hardy was on Primetime Channel, as was Dos Santos/Valasquez, all because ESPN didnt want to pay for the programme. That was bad. So at least I know I gonna see it in HD for at least next 12 months, so not all bad, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDragon Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Love the UFC and all its fighters. Best athletes in the world in my opinion. If any of you guys are like me and enjoy watching the behind the scenes action there is a new site up called Crossvid.com that has all fighter video blogs. These videos were always hard for me to find and now they are in one place. Just thought I would spread the word since I enjoy it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
