UFC get 1 hour show on FOX

[Guest razazteca]

I saw a commercial for this last night while watching the Best Sports Show Period.

 

Anybody know who will be on the show?

[Guest Angle-plex]

I think it's just highlights and interviews.

[Guest razazteca]

is that how it is on the UK UFC tv show?

 

well anything promoting UFC on tv is good publicity, right?

[Guest The Son of Sting]

is that how it is on the UK UFC tv show?

 

The UK is a hour of curent fights and the second hour is classic fights.

[Guest Army Eye]

Is this just a one time thing? Or weekly? or what?

[Guest jimmy no nose]

Is this just a one time thing? Or weekly? or what?

All they said was coming this August, nothing else. Maybe Meltzer or someone will bring the whole story.

[Guest DragonflyKid]

Just moving this up as a reminder that UFC on FSN airs tonight, it will be on here at 6:00 PST.

 

Having only watched some of the earlier UFC cards way back when I'm interested to see MMA now. They will probably only show lower ranked guys and build up the PPV bouts of the big names but hopefully they will show classic fights too.

[Guest Angle-plex]

I just checked my guide, and it's not on there.

[Guest DragonflyKid]

Both TV Guide and the Dish Network schedule that I have say it will be on. If you're on the east coast it will probably be on at 9:00 unless it conflicts with another sports program and has to be delayed.

[Guest Angle-plex]

It says some truck show is on. Hopefully it's wrong.

[Guest Angle-plex]

Nevermind. I just found it. In the midwest it's on from 12-1am.

[Guest razazteca]

Angle-Plex you must put program your VCR to record the show.

 

Mir & Sierra put on a BJJ clinic on how to work a submission when the opponet is trying to resist. Sierra got a big vignette(sp?) on how he was an instructor for Renzo Gracie at the BJJ NYC school. They also had him demostrate some of his favorite moves and his striking abilities at the gym.

[Guest Vyce]

I'd like to see this as a regular show.

 

I wasn't into the first bout (it bored me, actually), but I liked the Mir / Williams fight (all 30 seconds of it.....arms don't bend that way) and the Cerra fight.

 

Next time I'd like to see some better fighters, though. Give me some Tito Ortiz.

[Guest razazteca]

next week will have Tito Ortiz and Newton in action

 

the 1st match was more of a Muay Thai fight, with alot of strikes of Knees. Whenever they went to the mat nothing happened, no real attempts at submissions or chokes. It was apperant that the fighters had not clue at BJJ with the choke attempt on the cage, the guy was riding his back for nearly 2 full minutes, without a takedown or a solid choke hold.

 

the Mir vs Williams match was a big surpise to me, with Pete giving up so early. But then again he did not look in shape either.

[Guest Angle-plex]

It was a good show. I still like PRIDE much better than UFC, but UFC could probably get more popular in the United States out of the two.

[Guest razazteca]

if only it was on FX in primetime then it will get notice. Or maybe instead of the stupid eating contest or that 30 seconds stupid human trick talent show. UFC belongs on FOX in primetime not on a 3rd tier sports channel.

 

I think the winner of the 1st match was from the Hook N Shoot promotion.

[Guest Vyce]

the Mir vs Williams match was a big surpise to me, with Pete giving up so early. But then again he did not look in shape either.

I know next to dick about MMA.

 

But I was kind of surprised when they said that Williams knocked out Coleman.

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but Williams just didn't look like the kind of guy I'd expect to be doing something like that.

[Guest razazteca]

it was a few years back, like in UFC 16 or something in that time period. I think Pete was able to beat Coleman because it went into overtime, also back then I think Pete was training with the Shamrock brothers in the Lions Den.

[Guest jlvideo]

The UFC tv show is on again tonight and it might be a regular show on Fox Sports Net. Check your regional fox sports affiliates. I hope it's on every week and get exposure for ufc.

[Guest razazteca]

2 title fights

 

Milatich vs Newton

Ortiz vs Sinosic

 

and promos for the Tito Ortiz vs Ken Shamrock

 

Tito is a good heel, giving the Lion's Den the Stone Cold Salute.

 

As JR would say "Ortiz is saying that Shamrock is either #1 or #11"

[Guest Army Eye]

But I was kind of surprised when they said that Williams knocked out Coleman.

Yes. That was one of the biggest upsets ever. Knocked Coleman out with a kick to the head.

[Guest Angle-plex]

God I hope Ortiz gets his ass kicked.

[Guest Vyce]

I'm torn on this UFC thing. I'm not big on MMA, have never watched much of them. And here's pretty much why: most of the fights just seem either too slow or too fast for me.

 

Take last night's show:

 

Mir fight was too quick for me to get into it.

 

The Milletech / Newton match seemed a bit too slow for me (not as slow as last week's welterweight fight, though) except for the exciting finish.

 

The Ortiz fight ended nicely, but it was about 2 minutes of grappling....not terribly eventful or thrilling.

 

I figure the PPVs have the good, exciting fights, but I just want something with a little more flash I guess.

[Guest Angle-plex]

I think PRIDE is much more exciting than UFC.

[Guest razazteca]

UFC as it is today seems like its either all striking or all ground fights. I wish UFC would do a no weight class tourny like they did in the early days. Or have an event like Ultimate Ultimate 96 again with a Grand Prix like tourny.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Shamrock/Ortiz!

November!

Should-be-a-good-one,Ortiz-finally-gets-some-REAL

competition.

[Guest razazteca]

Tito Ortiz is going to destroy Ken Shamrock in the match, the only way I think Shamrock can win is if it goes to the ground for a submission.

 

Tito can out strike Ken with punch and knees.
