It’s a good thing there isn’t any other MMA event taking place on the 19th. Otherwise they might have trouble getting any fans to come out.
Why’s that? Ott vs. Haselrig is a pretty strong main event for a regional card and there are a lot of top fighters from the Northeast on the card such as Jim Bova, Lester Caslow, Blair Tugman, and others.
Is this gonna air live on the 19th or tape delayed on a different date. I’m all for MMA but GSP/Serra II calls my attention that night and I don’t have DVR on my HD source.
I believe it will be taped delay. HDNet smart enough not going to go head-2-head vs Serra/GSP.
I didn’t even remember Serra/GSP was this month. I wonder if UFC is going to cram their monthly budget in at the last minute for their advertising.
Who are these people? Why should I watch this show?
Awesome, thanks HDNet!
#6, are you a fight fan or a big name hound? I don’t mean that as insulting, but every big name you watch started somewhere.
These cards are great for up and comers and you usually get to see some very entertaining fights.
I have watched most of HDNets coverage of regional events, and i have yet to be disappointed.
You just have to ask yourself what you are a fan of, and there is nothing wrong with being a fan of only the big leagues.
