There were many queries and questions sent to my blog over the broadcasting of UFC 100 in the UK. I've attempted to answer many on them in the blog above. It may answer some of the questions I've read on CW site.

Thanks for the updates Gareth, nice to know you're answering the fans questions

"it [UFC 100] is going out in 51 countries live.

24 countries on tape delay.

They believe it will reach 300 million homes worldwide."

Wow!

Gareth - if you were a betting man who would you put your money on getting the UFC contract after UFC 100?

for some reason you really bug me

They'll be streaming it live on the UFC site?.....whats the betting the site goes down due to how many people are online?

[MrWinstonChurchill]

^^^I think that is a real risk!

There are lots of excellent irons in the fire, still, I'm led to believe. And much complexity. That's why they were unable to finalise a long-term deal ahead of UFC 100. I disagree with your comments about Dana White btw. He considers the UK a pillar of the future. After all, the UK and Ireland are the only countries in the world being given FREE access online to UFC.com's coverage of the event. What I can say, is that the deal they are looking to set up for the future, I understand, is aimed at catering for everyone. Whether it happens is another thing, but I think the announcement could come anytime soon.

Its because so far he has behaved like a childish twat.

I think Dana White gets to much credit.

Lorenzo Fertitta is the real reason why the UFC is where it is now.

Hey buddy, that was a little harsh.
