UFC 70 on Spike TV
Apparently UFC 70 was planned to be UFC's first event on HBO. This deal hasn't been solidified yet, so as a result it will most likely be shown on SpikeTV. People are saying this was confirmed by Dana white, but I have yet to find the interview.

Re: UFC 70 on Spike TV
I've heard this to, I was just waiting for some confirmation by Dana to post it. Ethier way I'm really hoping its true because this would be huge ratings for the UFC if there able to do this not to mention they might pull some new fans with CroCop and Arvlovski on Free TV.

I don't like this idea because a lot of people don't get HBO.

Some regular fans would not be able to watch it.

I dont know how strong HBO and UFC's friendship is though, ever since theyve signed the deal with HBO, Theyve been trashing UFC left and right for some god forsaken reason. Hense why its likely to be on Spike TV who UFC is ass buddys with at the moment.

EDIT: Confirmation
from an interview that Dana did

Q: What's the latest with HBO, and will UFC 70 be televised on HBO or PPV?

DW: I don't have the deal done yet, but UFC 70 will be on free television. It's going to be a free TV deal for the fans here in the U.S.

Q: Is it going to be on Spike?

DW: Let's see, yup. I'm the one that's always chirping about how all these guys that destroyed boxing. Everything was f------ you've got to pay for this, you've got to pay for that. I don't like to make the fans pay for every fight we have. I like to have a lot of good fights for free, and this is a great fight that we'd be giving to the fans for free.

Q: Is UFC 70 definitely going to be on Spike, or might it be on a different network?

DW: It's probably going to be on Spike.

Re: UFC 70 on Spike TV
Spike TV would be much better for the UFC.

There are more people that has Spike than HBO.

Dana White has done some good things. At least he is staying current with his fans.

Great, this should be really good for both Spike TV and UFC.
