UFC pull out of UK TV deal
Setanta are done now. UFC pulled out with 6 months left on the contract. They are already talking with other stations including Bravo and ESPN.

Was just asking you the same question in the Soccer forum.

Do you think a deal would get done before UFC 100?

With Sky trying to buy Bravo (and the others in that company), would that be a conflict of interests to the WWE and their affiliation with Sky? As I've heard TNA could be fucked, as there's no way Vince would want that on the same network

Setanta are officially finished.

I asked Dana White directly last week and heard the question asked at the Q&A and by like 10 other people over the Cologne weekend. They had a deal in place for UFC 99 if Setanta went down that weekend and there is already a 100% deal in place to get UFC 100 on TV. Might not be where UFC ultimately ends up but it's a banker that it's gonna be on.

Yeah the UFC website states that they will be shortly announcing the new Station in time for UFC 100.
I hope it goes back to Bravo and not ESPN.

Hopefully this time Bravo show them live. Only reason is that it costs a tenner a month to subscribe to the ESPN channel and I don't really have that extra bit of money at the moment.

Yeah. It's not really like the ESPN you guys have. Same Disney owned company and they show sport. The simularities end there.

Let me ask you this, when was the last time you saw LIVE sport on Bravo? You think they'll be on Bravo for long if they are?

Aparently Virgin are already in talks with ESPN about making a deal for the prem games, maybe they could do something for the UFC stuff as well?

One of the kickers for me moving to Virgin was the added in Sentanta with axcess to the UFC fights.

Would be pissed, but probably would end up getting it.

Unless they still release the UFC PPV's as events in their own right, then I could pick and choose the shows I want, I wouldn't mind that so much, as I'm generally a casual fan so that wouldn't be so bad. But it's going to cost Rob a small fortune!

I would love it if Five got the rights, although I know it is highly unlikely.
Hopefully as Rob has said before if ESPN get the rights then they will set up a new channel with the football as well.

ESPN have got into bed with Sky, the fuckers. But Sky customers will have to pay for the extra channel.
All they are saying is that they are talking to other networks as well.

I agree with Dave, if Virgin don't sort out a deal for customers with the XL package then I may walk away too.

Any news on where UFC 100 wil be,.

It wouldn't surprise me now if the show is on Setanta Ireland. Apparently Sky are going to broadcast this station for a week. Don't know what this means for people who didn't have a Setanta subscription or those who cancelled.

Worries are now over.

UFC 100 will air LIVE in the UK... and for FREE. Temporary deal put in place for it to air this weekend on Sky on channel 433 (I think it's the racing channel) and they are gonna be streaming on UFC.com along with a marathon of other shit.

Everyone happy now?

Impact will go offline Sunday (American Saturday I believe) and will not return until Monday night (American Sunday) to avoid any and all spoilers...

Glad that I get to watch it online, gutted that it won't be on my TV as I am on Virgin.
I know alot of people would be pissed off that it is only on a Sky channel.
There going to show all the episodes of the top UFC 100 fights before the event and I'll miss that too.
Oh well, do you think the website will be able to handle all those viewers.

So they go from everything being exclusive to Setanta, to anyone who had Setanta with Virgin Media not being able to watch it on telly, fantastic fucking news Dana.

Jesus Christ, my laptop can barely handle iTunes and Firefox, let alone streaming a show for 3 hours, of course, I really want to huddle around my laptop watching UFC 100. For fucks sake.

I hope that it eventually ends up on a channel like Virgin 1, still gutted about Sat night though.
I have to be at work at 10 am on Sunday, I have a 2 year old kid who will wake me up early and so was hoping to catch a repeat or something.
That looks really unlikely.

Believe it or not, it's not Dana White's fault Setanta went out of business.

Also the weigh in's will be live tonight on the UFC website on the player that their showing tomorrow night's event, at midnight in the UK.

If that makes sense

You need an internet connection to have Sky or Virgin right? so the best has been done to ensure that everyone can see it. the only reason Virgin viewers are so pissed off about this is because they signed up to Virgin, because they offered Setanta for free, a deal which played a big role in sending them under. You have yourself to blaim.

Besides, didn't they determine that there were more Setanta subscribers with sky than people with Virgin all together?
