Marshall Zelaznik doesn't say. He just says 2 tv deals. It could be anyone of the channels that have been linked.

Also it may involve WEC. They mentioned a while back that they were looking at the potential of getting WEC showcased across here.

Two channels sharing coverage. Could be European events on Bravo or Virgin. US events Live on Sky or ESPN.

Will be very interesting to see how this works out. I think Sky will be one of the channels no doubt.

Interesting.

I think the key thing was saying everyone should be able to see it, and given the grief they've had about it not being available on freeview & VM I've got to assume that part of the deal will be putting it on V1 or Five. Mind you if they do that their likely to run into a lot of whinging "won't somebody think of the children" as happened with the wrestling on C4

I'd also see that as the home run they're looking for, widening the audience. I suppose the obvious route would be to stick TUF, Unleashed, and the various clip shows on a FTA network and go for a subscription channel with HD for the main events, maybe with a delayed replay a week later on the free channel.

Anyway, anyone betting on tonight? I've picked four 'dogs:
[list][*]Alves @ 9/4[*]Bisping @ 13/8[*]Thiago @ 3/1[*]Lawlor @ 7/4[/list]

I picked Mir, Bisping, and Thiago. While they are all underdogs, I'd be very surprised if there weren't a couple of big names losing. These matches have been very well chosen so that there are no easy fights for the favourites, no matter what the odds might suggest.

Come on, Bisping!

I did a 9 fight parlay over the last 3 events. All have come through for me so far but need GSP, Lesnar and Bisping to win tonight. Not feeling so confident about Bisping since he's been running his mouth off though...

Anyone else here? I think Lesnar will win.

Hope Mir wins. Dont like Brock. Hope Henderson ko's bisping as well

If Mir wins then Brock really hasn't learnt anything since he started MMA. Can't see Mir winning anyother way than sub but can't see it going to the ground unless Brock wants it there. If Lesnar's smart he'll keep it standing.

It's great that UFC have provided a free showing online, for those of us without Sky. 600k stream and HDMI PC to TV connection means joy.

Funny hearing Goldberg call Yoshihiro Akiyama 'The Pride of Osaka Japan'. Akiyama is a 'heel' in Japan cos of his Korean decent. Not to mention he cheated in his fight v the Sakuraba who has been the most popular fighter in the last 10 years in Japan.

Good 1st fight. Close but I think Akiyama's takedowns knicked it.

can't believe Akiyama won that! Good fight though

Belcher wasnt robbed. It wasnt a 30-27 fight but Akiyama winning wasnt a robbery at all.

Lol, Bisping not exactly the crowd favourite. Hope he doesn't choke.

My head says Henderson, but i have a feeling Bisping will pull it off

I think Bisping could fail here.

I thought Bisping might sneak a decision but now I'm not so confident.

Bisping looks like his been taking weight cutting lessons from Ricky Hatton. He looks very Gaunt.
