i presume sky, as much of a prick dana is he will not let this one pass without been shown on either sky sports or virgin, he would give it away for free as a good gesture to sky was a rumour i heard

May go back on Bravo, though i hope not.

Virgin would be good, Virgin1 channel is dying with all the shit there showing on it.

Not sure if Sky would buy it.

If it goes to Bravo then it won`t be shown live, if it goes to Sky then they`ll stick it on Box Office for £20 a pop.
This is so depressing.

This UFC card is gonna be killer, and I can`t believe the UK are gonna miss out.

Bravo, Sky, ESPN and Virgin have all been mentioned. Bravo would be be a step back IMO. I have a feeling ESPN will be like a relaunch of setanta but obviously under the ESPN own name and run better. For me it will between them and Sky.

I really don't think it would sell enough to be ppv. But I know what Sky are like. I would probably pay the ppv price for UFC 100 but I doubt I would for much after that. Especially when you could see it in the coming week on one of the channels included in your subscrtion pakage.

I have also heard ch5 being interested. It would be great if ch5 or virgin get the rights as it could give them a bigger audience. I just hopes it goes to whoever can guarantee the best coverage (showing all the shows live).

I really doubt they would sell the rights if it weren't going live. It would be a total step back to a rapidly growing sport,
