Ahh. What kinda bullshit...?

So used to watching it @ 9pm on Bravo, lol!

Oh well, late night for me then.

Its on PPV in America mate, thats why its on at 3am...

Love the fact that we get it for free xD

Anyone know how I could watch Setanta online for free..? I am looking at getting setanta and want to preview their channels I've heard they have some great viewing around 3am...

theres a few dodgy websites that stream the PPVs but its usually a bit of a mission finding one working and the quality is usually gash. I am going to sign up to the setanta online thing once i start back at uni (student loan going to good use) but for now there is no way i am staying up till 6am watching a shite stream. I managed to see most of Fight Night 14 and the Affliction card on youtube style videos around the net a couple days late, or theres always the torrent option, sometimes theyre online by the morning after.

edit - forgot to mention my ufc87 thoughts...

My predictions are as follows:

MAIN CARD
Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch (T)
Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring
Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta
Rob Emerson vs. Manny Gamburyan
Jason MacDonald vs. Demian Maia

PRELIMINARY CARD
Luke Cummo vs. Tamdan McCrory
Dan Evensen vs. Cheick Kongo
Jon Jones vs. Andre Gusmao
Steve Bruno vs. Chris Wilson
Ryan Thomas vs. Ben Saunders

I think the GSP fight has been pretty overlooked with the Lesnar v Herring and Florian v Huerta fights, but im looking forward to seeing GSP at it again. His last couple of fights he just completely dominated so i am interested to see how Fitch can do. Think GSP will get it done about round 3.
Ive already said somewhere on here that i think Lesnar will win his fight. Herring has had 3 or 4 decisions since coming to the UFC and his last fight wasnt too great. I think Lesnar is going to stand and trade a bit and then GNP Herrings face to bits. Lesnar cant really afford to lose this one, but Herring has the impressive record to keep him above water if he loses so i think Lesnar will have a bit more drive to win.
The Florian v Huerta fight i have no idea who might win. I like both fighters and its a pretty tough match up. I think Huerta might be in the zone a bit more since Florian has been doing a lot of tv stuff on the side so hes maybe not so focused, but having said that i think Florian will pull off a submission about late round 2.
The rest of the fights ive just guestimated based on what i can remember from their names. The Chris Wilson fight could be a biggun, im pretty sure he fought Fitch not long ago and held his own for a good couple of rounds.
