And i need help.

This is directed at any irish/english, or any UFC fans who both have setanta or are goin to http://www.oxegen.ie/2009

First off i think setanta 1 (in ireland anyway) will still be showing it but i just realised yesterday that oxegen and UFC will be clashing.

I have e mailed the organisers to see if it will be shown anywhere but does anyone have nay other ideas

will an iphone or blackberry be able to pick up live online streaming of the event?

Reports from the UFC UK rep say that UFC 100 will air in the UK and Ireland as planned. But what channel is the question. I've read that Sky are looking at it, Bravo are looking to take another shot at it, even Channel 5 might consider it which is great if they do since everyone has it.

I don't know why anyone would watch it on a crappy stream when it can be downloaded a few hours after with guaranteed good quality.

Read this...

THE UFC have hammered another nail in Setanta's coffin by tearing up their TV deal.
UFC programming has been broadcast live on the sports channel since January 2008.

But with the Irish firm on the verge of slipping into administration, the world's No1 mixed martial arts group had little choice but to walk away.

Marshall Zelaznik, president of the UFC's UK division, said: "It was with great regret that we ended the relationship with Setanta.

"Over the last two years, Setanta has helped the UFC become the biggest indoor sporting event in the British Isles.

"They were the right partner for us at the right time as we continued to build the sport of mixed martial arts and our brand.

"Throughout the last few weeks we have been kept informed of the situation at Setanta.

"Therefore, we are in a position to ensure our UK and Eire fans will not miss any of this summer's huge UFC events — commencing with UFC 100 in July.

"We will be announcing the new home of UFC shortly but assure our fans they won't miss any of the upcoming super-fights."

Zelaznik added: "On behalf of the UFC I want to wish the team at Setanta all the strength to get through what must be very difficult times.

"We have worked very closely with the entire Setanta team over the past years and wish them the best of luck in the future."


So i doubt very much setanta are showing it at all when UFC have pulled the plug..
Look for bravo to be showing this the original rightful owner even if the **** is delayed

you could also order it online through yahoo sports and pay the ppv fee instead of possibly getting a crappy stream online
