Yep certainly is, boxing and UFC is great, however, normally messes things up as last time La Tab just didn't show the UFC, instead we got to watch Marquez shown how to box by Mayweather, was quite a boring fight. There are two UFCs coming up.. NOV 14th MANCHESTER RANDY COUTURE vs VERA MICHAEL BISPING (UK) vs DENNIS KANG DAN HARDY (UK - NOTTINGHAM BOY, ONE FOR STEVE!) vs MIKE SWICK JAMES WILKS (UK TUF9 WINNER) vs BROWN ROSS PEARSON (UK TUF9 WINNER) vs AARON RILEY NOV 21st SOMEWHERE IN THE US TITO ORTIZ vs FOREST GRIFFIN Now that this topic has descended into UFC, does anyone know when Rampage will fight Rashad Evans? I would have thought it would be the week after the TUF10 finale but doesn't look that way?
Okay they've added some info to the Nov 14th fight card, looks like it is on in the day time now, as it's showing an 8pm GMT start, so 2pm here. I thought it was starting at 2am in the UK to appease US audiences but doesn't look that way, more day time beer then. We've got David vs Goliath on 7th at 1 or 2pm, David Haye vs the 7ft monster Valuev live from Germany, need to check if they are showing it. Steve if you want to move this all to a new post for me then some more people might see it the info?
UFC 106 November 21 Location: Las Vegas Venue: Mandalay Bay Events Center Broadcast: Pay-per-view MAIN CARD • Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz • Anthony Johnson vs. Josh Koscheck • Luiz Cane vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira • Phil Baroni vs. Amir Sadollah • Dustin Hazelett vs. Karo Parisyan PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired) • Marcus Davis vs. Ben Saunders • Kendall Grove vs. Jake Rosholt • Brian Foster vs. Brock Larson • Paulo Thiago vs. Jacob Volkmann* • Fabricio Camoes vs. Caol Uno* • Jason Dent vs. George Sotiropoulos Rashad will be fighting Thiago Silva next at UFC 108. Rampage has declared himself “retired” from fighting as he wants to continue to pursue acting. UFC 105 Will air live during the afternoon of the 14th, but most places will just show it at night at the normal time for free on Spike TV not PPV.
Thanks for that info, so night time it is then on the 14th, boxing and UFC, La Taberna for anyone interested. Just have to avoid the results, which shouldn't be too hard, can't see them being on the bbc sport homepage!
Wow, thanks for the info LTL! On the 14th I will have to go with Manny v/s Cotto. Im not sure if the events will collide by any chance(TV wise that is..) They should have it planned so that people can watch em both, I assume November 21st cant be missed though !! Holy smokes !! Fun to see Ortiz`s "comeback" as well Cant wait for Rashad v/s Silva as well... Yummy! Have any of you guys been to watch any local boxing at the "pyramid" close to COSTCO? I would love to go and have a look, but I haven't found any info at all about any fight nights or similar for the younger prospects
There is a great card this Saturday night as well, free on CBS. Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers Date: Nov 07, 2009 Location: Hoffman Estates, Ill. Venue: Sears Centre Broadcast: CBS MAIN CARD • Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers • Jason "Mayhem" Miller vs. Jake Shields (for vacant Strikeforce middleweight title) • Champ Gegard Mousasi vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (non-title match) • Antonio Silva vs. Fabricio Werdum PRELIMINARY CARD • Marloes Coenen vs. Roxanne Modafferi (CBS reserve fight)* • Jeff Curran vs. Dustin Neace* • Shamar Bailey vs. John Kolosci* • Deray Davis vs. Mark Miller* • Nate Moore vs. Louis Taylor* • Jonatas Novaes vs. Christian Uflacker*
Really hoping to catch the David Haye vs Valuev fight this weekend, I hear INTERGRATED SPORTS have signed it up for PPV in the states but i have no idea what channel that will be on or where will be showing it? Latest i hear is the fight is supposed to start between 3.30 and 4.30pm our time, does anyone have any idea if La Taberna are showing it or does anyone live close enough to go in and check?
Just to keep this fresh in everyones minds, the boxing is this weekend and we're meeting at La Taberna for anyone who wants to come. There should be a replay of the UFC from Manchester at 8pm on Spike TV so we're hoping to catch that. Boxing is supposed to start at 9pm - Manny Pacquio vs Miguel Cotto from Las Vegas. We will be in there from 8pm.
Sam, I don't mind going by to check, because I don't live far from there; but, who would be the best person to ask, to be sure I get the right poop?
