Team UK

Ultimate Fighter: Team UK v Team USA

The weekend was drawing to a close. The bitter and really fucking painful images of losing in the "next goal wins" phase at the Theatre Of Added Time wouldn't go away despite a good afternoon watching it in a bar.

Setanta fucking Sports have taken away the UFC once wonderfully housed by Bravo, so I rarely get to see any of it these days but imagine my delight when prely by accident, I found out that Virgin 1 (Channel 121) was showing the current Ultimate Fighter series! Yes!



Episode 1 showed the 16 UK guys being cut to 8 in a series of fights. Che Mills from the Range Fighting Gym just down the road from here was involved but unfortunately lost in the first round which was a big shame. Michael Bisping will be leading the UK team against Dan Henderson who will be looking after the US interests.

The eight fighters now head to Vegas to take on eight USA fighters who we'll see in their bouts next week.

Yum, yum - can't wait!
