UFC 110 / Frank Mir / UFC at the Cinemas

UFC 110 is now in the books – tune in to Show 6 (available next week) for our thoughts on the event and the blatant mocking of J Doggs ‘expert’ selections – Nog, Bisping, Stevenson – wow! Lets just say that everyone we know who attended the event have nothing but good things to say about the event as a whole, for those watching on ppv you could hear and feel the atmosphere – so to be there must have been amazing.

Frank Mir has had to apologise over his comments aimed towards Brock Lesnar. We will not repeat the comments here (search around for them if you are that desperate to hear them) but lets just say he totally crossed the line and did not help the image of the sport as a whole particularly to the older ‘guard’ who still see it as nothing more than a street fight! Mir is an absolute legend and regrets what he said totally and we believe the MMA community as a whole will forgive him. He does have a big fight coming up and lets just hope he does not look past a dangerous Carwin with Lesnar clearly still on his mind.

The UFC has announced that more than 300 cinemas across America will pick up UFC 111 – St Piere v Hardy in all its HD and surround sound glory. Selected cinemas will also have some UFC guests hosting the event which should be a blast. Not sure if this will translate well in the UK (with the 3am start time) but could work on events actually in the UK or Europe at a more suitable start time – I am sure tickets would sell well if that was to happen.

Show 6 is in the works, stay tuned and train hard.
