The Shape Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I dunno what time the clocks actually go back, but the prelims on FB start at the same time as usual (11:30pm), so the Spike/UFC.tv prelims will start at 1am and the main card at 2am, same as usual. I'll be changing my clocks after it's started, just to avoid confusion. Don't expect much from ESPN with regards to UFC programming now. Now that the Fox deal is done, UFC will be going to Sky in August. It seems they're content to use Premier Sports/UFC.tv/FX for the Fight Nights, UFC on Versus/Fox/Ultimate Finales etc instead of renegotiating with ESPN like they used to, and ESPN have basically taken a 'screw you guys, then' approach. Less advertising, less replays, less broadcast consistency for things like MMA Live. Are you on Virgin Media/BT Vision? You should be able to get the main card OnDemand by Sunday morning though if you are. Ah okay. So moving to Sky as in events full on Sky Sports, or are they considering pay per view? I am on Virgin, didn't realise you could get it on demand, will probably have to do that xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, if you've got ESPN, just find ESPN on demand/sport on demand or whatever it is and there will be the last couple of cards and some Unleashed etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampulator Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 <p>Dustin Jacoby vs. Clifford Starks: A shot in the dark pick. I have NO idea who either of these guys are. Jacoby?</p><p> Chris Camozzi vs. Francis Carmont: Not familiar with either guy... I'll go with Camozzi.</p><p> Ramsey Nijem vs. Danny Downes: Another hard to decide. Downes?</p><p> Brandon Vera vs. Eliot Marshall: A quick scan (rather than a deep one) of Marshall may seem like the better pick, but Vera has fought against better opponents, and more importantly, won against tougher important. Vera?</p><p> Tyson Griffin vs. Bart Palaszewski: Griffin should win this. Griffin.</p><p> Dennis Siver vs. Donald Cerrone: Cerrone.</p><p> Hatsu Hioki vs. George Roop: Hioki.</p><p> Scott Jorgensen vs. Jeff Curran: Jorgensen.</p><p> Mirko Filipović vs. Roy Nelson: Nelson.</p><p> Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione: Mitrione.</p><p> B.J.

brashleyholland Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 <p>That was a close call. Roop took the third, Hioki the second and the first one was a very, very tough one to score. </p><p> </p><p> I had Hioki ahead by a hair myself. Nothing to be proud about with that performance for the supposed number 2 in the world at 145lbs, unless Roop turned onto the 2011 incarnation of 2005 Fedor before the fight or something.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
