I wish UFC did PPVs over here. We might get decent cards and title fights. UFC 138 is a joke, I won't be going, nor will I be going to any other substandard UFC events in Britain. I'd prefer to go to BAMMA in Nottingham.
Marshall Zelaznik, who is UFC managing director of international development, has said any future title fights in the UK would have to be at 5am UK time. God knows if it'd be possible to do that. http://mmajunkie.com/news/25951/titl...candidates.mma

British fighters vs. Non-British fighters - 3-3 record

And Terry Etim's win was a blatant mismatch to get him a W.

Seems like the UK's best fighters (Bisping, Daley, Hardy, and Pickett) have all taken highlight reel losses in recent years.

The Clay Guida v Ben Henderson fight that aired on bloody facebook of all places was really really good as well. Well worth tracking down.

Apparently it didn't air as part of the Fox show. We got it over here on the international feed, but US viewers just got build up to the main event. So in a 1 hour show, they got to see 64 seconds of fighting.

Junior dos santos new heavyweight champion after a stoppage that IMO was way too early. Congrats to him though, can see a Dos Santos VS Velasquez trilogy.

You thought the stoppage was early??? I haven't read one other person with that opinion. Velasquez had given up, the fact he didn't complain about the stoppage proves it was correct. The winner of Lesnar/Overeem is next and then someone like Frank Mir most likely.

The thing is, Dos santos starts ground and pound from the top, then the force of punches make Cain turn to the side, I didn't think he was knocked out and the referee didn't give Cain enough time to defend himself. As soon as the referee breaks them, Cain props himself up with his arm, I think the ref just assumed he was out but he wasn't.

I think it was a good stoppage Cain was in dizzy land and no sport is worth getting brain damaged by taking a beating when the mind is in state of dizzyness
the Ref was spot on

it was a good stoppage, that big right hand knocked his equilibrium off and then he got pounded on the mat, looked wo go limp for a sec and was laying flat faced on the canvas.

if the ref had let it go any more he would of just taken needless punishment.

Cain looked slow and wobbly when he was getting up plus didnt get angry or even make mention of the fact he thought he could continue.

it does happen, i felt diaz-daley was stopped early this year but it looked like a good job by the ref.

Thanks, hope it is still available on a channel in the UK without taking out a further subscription to Premier.
I already pay enough with Sky Sports and ESPN

ESPN's deal reportedly runs out in August, UFC are unhappy that they'll only take the numbered shows and don't want anything else. The last time the rights were up UFC couldn't come to terms with Sky Sports, and that was around the time of UFC 100 when MMA was arguably hotter than it is now, so it's very unclear if they could come to terms now. I doubt they'd go to Premier though, too low profile.

If you didn't see it last night, then my goodness you missed something special.

Go and catch Rua/Henderson, probably one of the greatest fights in UFC history. Unbelievable war, what a battle.

Not the best fight from a technical perspective but what heart shown by both fighters.

Really good card TBH, all the broadcast fights were good.

I don't think it was the best fight ever, the bit where they were gassed and just holding on to each other for dear life against the cage lowered it from that level. I don't think it was as good as Leonard Garcia vs Korean Zombie 1 or Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida. Still, it was a very good fight, and certainly vindicates the having main events be 5 rounds idea.

If you've not seen it, go and check out the Eddie Alvarez vs Michael Chandler fight from Bellator that took place the same night as Shogun/Hendo.
