According to Dave Meltzer over at WrestlingObserver.com the UFC is still having a hard time negotiating a deal with HBO to carry UFC events. There has been much speculation on how the UFC would broadcast UFC 70 in Manchester, England; would it be on a tape-delayed PPV, would HBO broadcast it?
Well it appears now that the event may end up being broadcast for free on SpikeTV. Nothing is finalized yet, but it appears that things may be heading in that direction.
If this is the case, the fight card couldn’t be better to show on cable television. With a fight card lineup including Mirko Cro Cop, Michael Bisping, Andre Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum, Ryoto Machida, Forrest Griffin, Assuerio Silva, Dennis Siver, and on-and-on the list goes. I for one would love to see UFC 70 for free on Spike. Of course, if it is going to be shown live it would be on around 2pm EST in the states, but who cares?

Arlovski originally started as a subbmision fighter and learned to strike. No one is counting the Pitbull out, this fight could go either way. Crocop will be fighting Couture for the belt next if he gets by Gonzaga. I could see the UFC setting up a Crocop vs Arlovski fight when Mirko is the champ. He will have to beat Fabrico in order to be the next contender though.
@Todd,
I was saying that Werdum is another one of these Pride guys making his UFC debut “under the radar”, unlike Rampage,Heath Herring, and Mirko. Werdum trained with Cro Cop…teaching him BJJ while in exchange, Mirko taught him to strike. As you now know, Werdum has beaten some big-time names in Pride…I don’t feel like re-writing them over again…but you should know who they are. Anyways, it will be a very interesting fight.
Well since you broke it down for me, this should be an interesting fight. See me, im an old fashioned SPARTA!!!!!!! type of guy so naturally i would like to see them throw down in the middle of the ring, but dont get me wrong the fine beauty of laying on your back and like a sweet science slipping that armbar into affect gets me excited to but i like arlovski so i would hope he wins mainly since he fell off a little, and when he lost to that guy sylvia, but werdum looks good to so lets hope this is a good one
oh yea, that fedor/lindland fight is that gonna be on another pride card or is that on like a different fight league or something?
@TODD,
Fedor vs Lindland is in BodogFIGHT, not PrideFC
oh ok thanks doc
ARLOVSKI ONE HIT KO
fabricio can take a hit he went all the way with former pride champ big nog but arlovski does have more strength in his punches so its a toss up for me im saying guilltine choke werdum in second round
