lightningxlock Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Man, thats great news on both counts. There's still not enough MMA on over here and with WEC gone anyway, there's a big hole left in anybodys MMA viewing. Â I only realised last night that BAMMA was at the MEN and got all excited, and my girlfriend even offered to buy me a ticket for Valentines Day and then I realised it's the same night im going to see Mogwai....fucker!

David Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 As a result, he has asked for patience from Scottish MMA fans in particular, who are unlikely to see the Braehead Arena stage a fight card this year. "Scotland is a priority for us, but the problem is that the venue causes problems if we're talking about a three or four-event plan for 2011," Zelaznik told ESPN. "If we were having six Fight Nights in the UK, Scotland would make all the sense in the world.  "But if we're in the situation where we're running three of four events that are more in line with how we've done past events, the more likely arenas are Liverpool and Manchester. Liverpool we haven't been to and it's a newer arena than Manchester, but both are bigger in size than the Braehead in Scotland, which seats about 5,200 people. That's shit! I was looking forward to seeing the UFC in Glasgow come May!  Lesnar interview - Seems as though it's backstage during TUF training.

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted January 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 some rumours going around that BAMMA 5 will be shown on the SyFy channel...not sure if live or not, be great news if it is. Â BAMMA have confirmed the news on their website. The first live show is on February 26th. Â Eurosport Fight Club's Facebook page are saying that they'll be showing Strikeforce now on Eurosport 2, starting this Sunday with Diaz v Santos. Â Hopefully it won't be goodbye Mauro, hello Sensei Will! Excellent news - was worried I'd be missing this weekend's Strikeforce card, what with no UK coverage news up until now, and I wasn't going to bother messing around with downloads etc. Â The BAMMA news is also good, giving a bit more variety to the UK coverage other than Ultimate Challenge on Sky Sports, years-old CWC on Extreme Sports and various minor shows on The Active Channel.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 just a reminder...Titan Fighting Championships 16 is on HDNet tonight, decent little card too:  265 lbs.: Tim Sylvia vs. Abe Wagner 170 lbs.: Rudy Bears vs. Jason High 155 lbs.: Rich Clementi vs. Aaron Derrow 185 lbs.: Drew McFedries vs. Gary Tapusoa 155 lbs.: Bobby Cooper vs. Drew Dober 145 lbs.: Jon Hollis vs. Brian Phillips 135 lbs.: Jacob Akin vs. Anthony Gutierrez 155 lbs.: Alonzo Martinez vs. Deryck Ripley  that's what'll be televised, some decent names at the top of the card...always like to see Clementi & McFederies fight, and Jason High is getting some massive hype recently on certain MMA sites (Middleeasy being one), so it'll be interesting to see how he's coming along.  as for Big Tim Sylvia, the fight is listed at being at 265lb, but Sylvia weighed in at 311lb:   errrr, dunno what to think of that. I remember Tim coming in super heavy for the Ray Mercer (Sylvia is actually heavier for this fight!) fight and everyone knows what happened there. I was actually arguing the case that Sylvia should have been in Strikeforce's tournament over Brett Rogers, but not anymore...to come in that heavy tells me that Tim aint taking MMA seriously anymore, he clearly aint seriously hoping to get a call from the UFC or Strikeforce if he's weighing that heavy, either that or he's delusional.
