Was just checking the UFC site to see when there is some next on and they had a message about BT Sport

Good News (in a way) it seems those of us that use Sky will be able to get it in a very similar way to ESPN as an add on to the package

http://www.bt.com/sport/3-ways-to-watch-bt-sport.h...

£15 one off and then £12 month

If you have BT Broadband you can get it for free

I can deal with £12 a month so will be signing up although may wait until closer to the time to see if the deal improves

Yeah, I tried signing up yesterday but it was playing up. No different to paying for ESPN as it currently is really. Plus it will be the only way to watch MotoGP in the UK as the BBC and Eurosport have lost the rights to BT Sport...

I think they will. They'd be stupid not to monetise it and make money.

ESPN is?

In that case I'd be shopping for some lube if I were you.

It was! He looks much scarier with his hair like that too

Were some ok'ish other fights, nothing hugely stood out though

The card for 160 however looks great!

Yeah not a great card really. I thought Vitor would lose but credit it to him another impressive win. Bit annoyed the programme finished with nearly an hour left, why do fuel shows never go back and show some of the fights earlier in the night!? Looking forward to UFC 160, don't really like bigfoot so I hope Cain kicks his backside.

I always read Donald Cerrone in a Greg Jackson voice in my head now 'Donald Cer-ron-ey'

Wow - 4/5. Gold star for you! OK, this is the problem I have - I'm having trouble buying into the hype. Cain - I'm still not convinced. A poor stoppage. Glover - I'm starting to believe, but when are they going to give him someone near his ranking? Still, a top card. I didn't see the fight bloodbath before the prelims that just stained the cage.

I loved the fact the crowd booed JDS when he took Hunt down... hehe

Earlyish stoppage but I think it was only going one way.

Not a bad card. Always like short heavyweight fights. Cannot abide watching too utterly knackered enormous men falling on each other for 5 rounds.
