Re: UFC 100

Uhhh....what coupon? Did you have to pre-order to get it?

Re: UFC 100

It came with the game if you bought it at Best Buy (along with a UFC DVD and a gift card, though I missed out on the DVD).

And I thought it was good through the end of July... maybe not, but I'll look at it when I get home.

Re: UFC 100

Turns out I'll be out of town and unable to watch.

I'm going to a Candlebox concert tomorrow night so I'll be watching it on delay.

Re: UFC 100

I used the coupon for this event so it definitely works. You go to the website and tell them which cable company you have and where you live. You are then told that the $10 credit will appear on one of your next 2 bills.

Re: UFC 100

Wait, so you're watching online at UFC.com and it asked you for that stuff? Or you ordered the actual PPV, just via their website?

Good news that it works... I figured they'd think ahead with that, since UFC 100 was by far the bigger and most interesting event to the casual fans they're hoping to turn into dedicated ones.

Re: UFC 100

Doesn anyone else, see nothing but bad w/ ESPN trying to get involved now? I kinda look at as BS that ESPN wants a piece now. I've never heard one damn line about MMA on ESPN. Just today, I heard it on ESPN radio, it's on the ticker, and I may have heard it on the EA Servers.

ESPN has been covering MMA for a while now. There's a weekly MMA show on their website. So nothing new there. Not as good as Inside MMA, but great exposer for the sport. Brock Lesnar raided the front page of ESPN this morning too.

I just threw down $20 on TJ Grant to win $38. I'm just not sold on Kim and Grant looked pretty damned good against Chonan.

I actually like MMA Live better than Inside MMA. Bas is annoying as hell to me.

Sorry for the confusion Stumble. I ordered the PPV with Comcast and you use the coupon online. The sheet with the coupon code on it has a url you visit to get the credit applied to your cable bill. This coupon will not work online as far as I know because they ask you for your cable company and account number. I didn't notice a choice for streaming but I wasn't exactly looking for that either.

It would be great to get the unaired prelims for free but I'll just hit the torrents on Sunday and watch it on the big screen. I can't wait for tomorrow night!

Re: UFC 100

The coupon can be used until August 31 so that includes 101 and 102

I like both but if I had to choose I would go with MMA live too.

Re: UFC 100

Bas is a legend, both talking and fighting.. love that guy.

Thanks for the info Scoop.

Meh, they're both good. I just find it easier to change the channel than to go to a website for my MMA show. Bas is ok with me, he does have his moments though.

Re: UFC 100

I usually end up watching both on the internet.

It's been nothing but good here in Canada with our sports channels. They even show highlights of the free ones.
