Default Re: UFC 75 -- is it live on Spike?

As a brit obviously I wanted Bisping to win at the end I thought it may go as a draw, guess I agree the point above that the 10 point system doesnt work. For me thought it was pretty even first half Hamill second half Bisping, but being in London and Bisping in the papers all week defending MMA against calls to ban it didnt come as a surprise the way it went.

Talk in brit papers today is Lesner is pretty sure to join, he has been in training in a good camp and has had a win in a low class MMA fight, White quoted as being impressed with his attitude etc. Another ex WWE wont be joining namely Kurt Angle.

Sun UFC Story

I expect a few more reguler events in the UK as well 20,000 where ticket prices were $100-$550 is pretty impressive and way more than the WWE was charging when they used to come over, being on Setanta and the brit bill definatly seemed to raise the profile of the sport in the mainstream media.
