10th legion fighting championship in hull was good about 3 months ago and i went to Durham end of last year to see my friend fight total combat 27 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKtE5UCiz-Y. this was his first fight. (he is a lot better now, good win tho) going to the local fights is really good, get to see some really good up coming fighters

There's some confusion about that. They're apparently doing a fight night show in the UK on October 10th (which of course me and you won't be going to ) and UFC 105 on November 14th. Nobody seems to know which will be in Newcastle and which will be in Manchester, although apparently these are the venues chosen.

If UFC 105 is in Manchester I hope to attend my first UFC event. The card is set to feature Anderson Silva v Bisping/Hendo. Also, Dan Hardy is bound to be on the card, I'd like to see him tested again against the likes of Kampmann or Condit.

I'd like to see Keith Jardine there and Chuck Liddell too.

The judging lately is really winding me up, especially in something as big as the TUF final you would hope they could get it correct. It's been said constantly on MMA forums, but they NEED to look at other methods rather than the 10 point must system, it simply does not work for MMA.

I’ve noticed that Tony Weeks is a regular judge at UFC events. Weeks is also one of the States’ top boxing referees. Does this suggest he favours stand-up, come-forward dominance? Or is he as impartial as the next judge?

Anybody watch any of the local fights?

Went to the last Badcompany show in Leeds Town Hall.

Great day out.

A friend of mine, well 2 of them (brothers) are both training in MMA. The older brother had a fight on saturday night in Middlesborough although I wasn't there. He won the fight by decision. He also had another fight in Rotheram about a month ago and I'm sure some here will of read the trouble that went down that night. Unfortunately all the trouble accured about 2 fights before he was ready to start which a shame. He has a record of 2 wins 1 loss.

I just watched the TUF finale as I Sky +'d it. Again I was really shocked at Wilks and how cam he kept. I never expected him to beat Darmaques, but he controlled him on the floor brilliantly. It was great to see his BBJ in use. Heel hooks, legs locks, omaplatas, Kimauras. The lot it was great to watch and fully deserved his win.

As for the Nightmare - Guida fight. WOW Sanchez came out with a message. Brilliant standing game and a flury of punches, as already said Guida has one hell of a chin. Seeing as he put up with that kick from Diego, the elbows to the head from Diego were also brutal as you could tell from all the blood everywhere.

I really can't wait for UFC 100 on the 11th. I'm going for a Mir win by submission.
GSP stoppage in the 3rd
and Bisping to smash fook out of Hendo!

The friend who I mentioned has his first two fights on youtube. Type in Louis Chapman. I think it comes up as Louis Chapman 1st fight and then his second which he lost is against Micky Lockey of Rotheram.

A decision is imminent. Let’s hope it’s not a PPV channel.

Dana White said that it will be rectified before UFC 100, so it should be sorted soon.

I hope to god it's not Bravo again, I can't be bothered waiting until the day after to watch the fights.

I’d prefer that to paying £15 per event on Sky Box Office
