    Some decent fights on early Cantwell and Simpson are usually entertaining can't remember if i have seen the others though.

    Anyone know if we are getting the Spike card on ESPN UK. Pettis and Maia two fighters I don't want to miss.

    Can't see it on the listings - looks like we'll have to log on to UFC.TV for them like other recent events.

    Go to the UFC Facebook page (just search for UFC) and Like it, then you will see a link to the live prelims on the sidebar. They are running late as usual, supposed to start at 22.50 GMT.

    Great scrap, this could be fight of the night already.

    1-1 going into the third. Massenzio shouldn't be shooting for the takedown, he's making a mess of him up against the cage. Cantwell was in trouble at least three times that round.

    Massenzio 29-28 on my scorecard.

    Very impressed with the pace they set too, didn't slow until the final minutes of the third.

    Really? I found it incredibly frustrating. Both guys would freeze up and hesitate when they should've have been tearing in. I was screaming at the screen for Massenzio to stop going for ****ing takedowns when he should have been swinging like a mad man.

    I thought that added a certain element of tension actually, who takes the chance and gets the finish? Both men took a number of solid shots early on, so I'm not surprised they were a little hesitant to commit to the finish. Mazzenzio was clearly in love with the takedown gameplan, and just didn't adapt to the changed circumstances when he took the upper hand.
