I'd be amazed if they show it before 9pm.

 

UFC is still a nightmare to comply in this country, compared to say boxing.

 

Promo campaigns for the Pick TV shows were a nightmare to get off the ground (ultimately, they never left the ground) because of what could and couldn't be shown before 9.

 

My best guess is that they'll show the Glasgow show at 9 or 10 on BT Sport 2.

 

It'll all depend on whether they are simultaneously showing Caribbean Premier League games on both channels, too, as that is their big project at the minute.

 

I'd bet the house on it not being live, essentially.

I missed the Romero/Machida show and caught a spoiler regarding the anti-gay comments, nightmare!

 

Quick comment, are Cuban combat athletes in general a little bit unhinged? They all seem a bit out there.

I thought Romero's was gay-bashing at first but upon watching it again I'm pretty convinced he said "No forget Jesus". Spanish/Portuguese always tend to struggle pronouncing T in the English language, I reckon that's probably the case here. Fuck knows what his point was though.

I dunno, I think most combat athletes are a bit unhinged in general - kind of have to be in order to choose a career like that. The reasoned, measured ones seem to be in a minority.

 

Whilst I don't hate Cuba and Castro like the Western media wants us to, one thing that's always made me sad is the anti-gay/homophobic discourse that Castro has promoted over the years. It doesn't surprise me that a Cuban would come out with something like that.

* apologies for the double comment

 

Isnt the Scotland show a fight pass exclusive show?

 

according to the UFC Website it's a FOX Sports 1 Card & Looks like being Blacked out on Fight Pass apart from 1 hour of Early Prelims @ 3PM [uK Live Coverage Looks like it'll be only on the BT Sport APP with Tape Delay of Prelims & Main Card on BT Sport]

 

 

Why is this an early start anyway? 

 

Could be at the Request of FOX Sports as they have Live Baseball scheduled @ 4PM EDT/9PM BST

The Scotland show is on BT Sport 2 next Saturday night on delay at 9pm. Just the main card, I'm assuming.

 

The Mir vs Duffee card is this Wednesday night/Thursday morning live on BT Sport 1. Prelims start from 1am.

so how does everyone see Mir/Duffy going?

I can't really see it going more than a round, early 2nd round at max (or at least I hope it doesn't go the full 3 rounds). Duffee KO in the 1st round or Mir submission late in the 1st/early 2nd round.

Its one of those ones where i see the first strike Duffy lands wobbling Mir, i could see it being over within 2 minutes. I should really know not to doubt Frank Mir at this point, but his constant 'my evolution as a martial artist' speeches before every fight are becoming a bit tiresome. I'm sure he's said the same thing before every fight for the last 7 years.
