what channel is espn on sky?

At the moment they've got espn America on channel 417 and espn classic on channel 442, I think they will probably change the name of channel 417 in the coming weeks and start charging a subscription fee.

Thick prick.

Thick prick.

If anything Dana will be delighted the UK won. In fact im sure his only regret is not finding some way of shoe horning a couple of germans in the show.

You mean as well as Frankie (born in Germany) Lester haha

But yeah, exactly. Considering the UK v US concept was something he was dead against at one point he'll be well pleased with how it went. As MMA continues to grow in the UK, TUF9 will inevitably be seen as one of the turning points.

In retrospect, perhaps "thick prick" was a bit harsh, i just detest poorly written, ill-informed internet bullshit.

May as well leave thats at that, because the bottom line is Dana's ONLY motivation when it comes to the UFC.

Wonderful how you say that.

Evidently only watching UFC for one series of TUF and you know him so well!

in the words of a good friend of mine that knows the sport " no denying that dana white is still a fucking nipple regardless what hes done for the scene, hitler was good for the advance of science but he was still a wank" <---- pretty much sums it up for me

Dana has done tonnes for this sport. Many many great things in the promotion of the sport and the recognisability of the sport as well as its stars and availability to the general public but I entirely admit that I believe he comes across as a bullyboy of an individual.

I preferred your first post before you edited it, effectively saying "I don't know jack shit".

Lmao!!!


Dana White has put MMA pretty much on the map. Admitedly, people are going round saying they do UFC or watch Cage Fighting etc. but thats a start? now we have the recognition, just gotta concentrate on tweeking that opinion to MMA. Yes Dana is a total asshole (or at least comes across as one everytime i see him) but undeniably hes a credit to MMA.

Yeah, Dana's a dick, he fucking lets fans get into his car and have their picture taken with him! At events he spends a shit load of time with the fans meeting them, signing autographs etc. And he goes into all the fighters locker rooms making sure the fighters are ok before and after their fights. He made sure we got to see UFC 99 and now he's making sure we get to see UFC 100.

Definitely stuff an twat would do :rolleyes:
