Anybody watching? This is what Sky rejected UFC for.

I'm not familiar with UK Sports TV but didn't UFC choose Setanta over Sky (whose bid was bigger) because they wanted to be the face of the said company (like they are on ****e)?

I'm not sure. I think this is a good idea though. This series is a good platform for British fighters to make a name for themselves, and hopefully attract the attention of Dana White. It would be great to see more Brits in the UFC.

What happened to Cage Rage???? i thought sky sports showed their stuff.

In May 2008, Sky Sports said in a statement they would no longer be airing Cage Rage events on their channels. The official line was that they could not continue with Cage Rage as a fighter (Paul Daley) had sworn on live TV on a previous show. However, this was thought to be an excuse as the incident (where Daley used several sexual cursewords) took place well after the 9pm "watershed". Much more likely Sky was disappointed with the average 19,000 viewers Cage Rage was getting.

Cage Rage went bankrupt and is now no longer trading. Cage Rage had been owned and managed by Elite XC until that company ceased operating, and the British promoters behind Cage Rage formed a the new organization and withdrew all the old Cage Rage titles.

This is from Wikipedia (not reliable I know but whatever!)

EliteXC killed Cage Rage.

Wasn't like they were using their fighters anyway.
