Looking forward to GSP above all. I think he'll beat Alves.

strangely since TUF moved to setanta it clashes with a few other things, but iæve seen a couple of episodes this season, the first impressions iæve got is that the yank team is full of dog s, and no question and the brits are really doing their best to make the most of the opportunity.

for the last few years if you show up well in TUF you end up getting included on a lot of undercards ultimate fight nights, quite a few on the UFC game as well.

Too many of them get fights after the show. Recently the likes of Junie Browning and Dave Kaplan have had televised fights dispite being awful.

Theres at least one brit who never deserves to fight in the UFC after quitting during his fight.

Dana White has announced that UFC will return to the UK on October 10th (Grand Final night ).

Interesting to note though that they're also returning on November 14th to Manchester for UFC 105:Silva v Bisping/Hendo.

A treat for UK MMA fans!

would love too wacth Bisping in Manchester. Wacthed the UK vs US last night that Ross Pearson is a beast 1 of the best strikers i have seen got to work on his mat work and escapes but could go well in the ufc

That can be translated roughly as 'In Japan I can take as many roids as I want and be offered up Japanese cans for me to belt the hell out of.'

Tim Sylvia lost again... to Ray Mercer! Yes [ithat[/i Ray Mercer. The 48-year old boxer. The footage is on YouTube. It won't take up much of your time, Mercer knocked him out in 9 seconds.

Funny! Dana White has told him he can only ever return to the UFC if he goes through the TUF route!

Could be interesting.

Sylvia looked so fat and out of shape in that fight. Awful.

anyone know what date the ufc 100 is set for?
it looks like a great card cheers joker
