Excellent, Setanta will now be screening PPVs live :D

They have so far only been showing UK live events, will this include US events?

Apparently, the deal is now: all UK live events, some other programming, and the occasional US one.

Yeah I think they only managed to get half with the other half still airing on bravo. (not live)

UFC 84 is obviously tonight, which should be awesome

The Main Card of UFC 84

* Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn vs. Sean Sherk

* Light Heavyweight bout: Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida

* Light Heavyweight bout: Wanderlei Silva vs. Keith Jardine

* Light Heavyweight bout: Thiago Silva vs. Antonio Mendes

* Light Heavyweight bout: Wilson Gouveia vs. Goran Reljic

From this card, Penn/Sherk, Ortiz/Machida and Silva/Jardine are the ones I'm really psyched for. Ortiz probably fighting his last UFC match isn't it? And Penn/Sherk rematch should be good. I always love Silva fighting, he's a beast. Good times :D

Penn/Sherk wasn't a rematch it was the first time they fought.

I was upset that Jon "War Machine" Koppenhaver lost on the undercard. I was also upset that Tito lost, given that it's supposedly his last fight with UFC... BUT... seeing Silva destroy Jardine made up for everything. In my opinion, Jardine never had a chance against Silva.

As much as I like Lidell, I think pound for pound, Silva is the more dangerous fighter. Truthfully, I think he lost that fight because Chuck was training mentally with Tony Robbins.. and he is just not someone you want to fuck with haha. If there were a Lidell/Silva II, i think without TR on Chuck's side, Silva would win. But Silva/Jardine? No question. I knew it was going to be a one-sided fight.

This saturday is the debut of EliteXC on CBS and I noticed UFC is trying to compete for viewers by showing the best of Chuck Liddell and following with the Chuck vs Wanderlei fight from December. It should be a good night for MMA fans.

So close... I was really hoping Tito would pick up the win in the slight chance that he would stick with the UFC. Doesn't look like there's any chance of that now.

I think I'm seeing a triangle choke from Tito but is it being countered or what? Any links to the full match online anywhere?

It was a triangle choke that he attempted to transition to an armbar in the dying seconds of the last round. Machida mananged to roll out of it.

Heres a link to the match:
