Not everyone has ESPN over here and people that have it don't watch, that would be the dumbest move to make.

Re: UFC officially announces split with Setanta Sports, new U.K. broadcaster partner
Don't worry Dmac, although you don't have it now, I'm sure it'll be like when Setanta burst onto the scene, it just wasn't freely available until it became worth promoting.

ESPN haven't really concentrated on the UK market to date, I believe they only have 2 channels (ESPN Classics & ESPN America) which really aren't targeted at the main sports fans in the UK. However I have read that they are looking to create a new channel where they are planning to show the Premier League football and other stuff on (similar to Sky Sports).

I can't see Five getting the coverage, they dropped all their American sports earlier this year (concluding with the NBA Finals) and giving us the poor excuse of the recession causing them to do this.

ESPN America is the likely choice imo, they took Setanta's premiership package so they could take their UFC's also..

ESPN has been airing weigh-ins for quite some time now. It is only a matter of time until they work something out.

This is for the UK though Nick, we don't get the weigh ins on ESPN.

I would hope it wouldn't go back to Bravo, would seem like a total step backwards instead of forward. A move to Sky Sports could be potentially bad for the consumer, as I wouldn't be surprised if they put the PPVs on Box Office.

I hope it doesn't go to sky sports i'd hate paying £14 for every UFC event.. I remember them doing this back at UFC 47 for the Liddell/Ortiz fight and the sport has grown loads since then.

Hopefully ESPN get a new channel organized and have the monthly subsciption like Setanta then .. Because I'd rather pay £13 for premier league football and UFC events for a month instead of £14 just for one UFC event.

Why would you have to pay £14 to see it on Sky Sports?

They clearly wont put it on PPV at least not yet.

I hope they wouldn't, but if they knew how much interest there is for the UFC at the moment Im sure they would put it straight on PPV to make some easy money..
