UFC 12 likely to be in the O2.

There is Talk of Anderson Silva v Vitor Belfort for the main event at UFC 112.

Surley they wouldn't put a Championship fight on in London, especially one as big as Anderson Silva?

I hope i am wrong but i cant see Dana allowing this.

They put the Rampage vs. Hendo lightheavyweight unification fight on in London @ o2, Hendo's pride belt vs. Rampage's newly won UFC belt.

I think when it's in London they should be putting on the big fights, if they announce this as the main event I will be trying to get tickets.

Anyone betting strikeforce or WEC 2nite? Scott Smith is 4-1 vs. Cung who's been away filming and the fact that Smith can KO anyone, Ed Ratcliffe is 4-1 also and Cerrone likes to stand and brawl I don't know a huge amount about these two but apprently Ratcliffe has some pretty slick strikes and at 4-1 with a few KO's on his name a double here might be worth a punt. £10 to win £160.

[scotty2hatty]

Both are best price 3/1 Benj. I assume that's what u really meant as £10 pays £160 with two 3/1s.

I haven't had any bets but I'll have a 10er on your two.

[creepy_benji]

ye 3-1 sry having decimals made me put the 4 down. I might add rani yahya and do a triple for 380 myself....not sure yet.

What time will these fights be on benj,may watch/follow your tips ?

yo mond whats up man.

Erm the cards will be on pretty late starting 2am or something, i usually only stay up for the big UFC cards now, i've been getting up sub 10am for a few weeks now and i like it too much to surrender it to too many late nights.

Both these fighters are pretty big underdogs but have a pretty good shot at winning, especially Scott Smith he's got a lot of KO power and fighting another stand-up fighter who has just finished making two films (Tekken and Pandorum) so who knows how focused he is for this fight. Worth a punt imo.

[creepy_benji]

Ok i did a treble with Scott Smith, Ratcliffe and Lindland, all underdogs but it's a punt and I could see each of them getting the W.

It's kinda crazy I'm almost tempted to back them 3 and Yvel and Thiago Silva too, 5 underdogs 10.00 to win £3400+

Crazy I know but I could actually see this happening....I'm probably just dreaming

[creepy_benji]

Oh well Scott Smith did indeed get a KO in the 3rd but Ratcliffe lost by submission in the 3rd. Was worth a shot. Souza's standup looked really good too.

Will ESPN UK be showing UFC 110 live in the afternoon or will it be delayed coverage?

I read somewhere that the show was going to be on about 2pm in afternoon is Aussie, so it would still be on at the same time as usual.

Pay Per View is worth to much money to not have it at Prime time in USA apparently.

I could be wrong tho, and probably am, but it does say 3am start time in UK, as per

[stereoman]

MMA in the afternoon for the Australians!? So it is. http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.Home&eid=2628
