I’ll flip over to Spike to watch Wandy railroad Jardine, then flip back to CBS in HD for the EXC card. DishNetwork doesnt have SpikeHD as part of their standard package yet. Boo.

Interestingly the Versus channel is in HD. WEC Wreckage comes off looking sharp.

holy shit. i was actually thinking of ufc 80 (Penn vs Stevenson) when I wrote ‘so so.’ got confused on the headlining penn cards. 84 was awesome. but i will maintain that 80 was so-so, not great, not bad.

@Brandt

Spike HD is out. Check your provider to see if you get it. Unfortunately, Comcast in Houston doesn’t have it yet. I know Direct TV does.

@ #7 — What fucking card were you watching to say UFC 84 was “SO-SO”? One of the best cards i’ve seen in a while, especially the sherk v. penn fight. UFC 84 made 85 look like a fight night.

Joseph, I honestly think it’s as good as people say, it was by far one of the best cards of the past 2 years that I’ve seen, edge of my seat and sometimes out of my seat during the entire thing, it was fantastic.

THERE WERE HELLA KO’s during ufc 84- cant wait to see how Boss hog Shaw is going to ruin the show this time around.

SpikeTV = crappy standard definition. I hate watching it now that I have a HDTV and HD everything. I know I sound conceited, but it’s true.

And to think about it – CBS with new fights and a decent card in HD or a SpikeTV rerun? Desperate much? If someone didn’t watch UFC 84 already, they probably don’t care enough to watch it in a couple weeks.

“UFC 84 was re-god-damn-diculously awesome.”

It was good, but people are making it out to be better than it was.

Well if any replay would pull people away from that EXC event it would be UFC 84. UFC 84 was re-god-damn-diculously awesome.

I loved 84. I was planning on buying that one on DVD anyway.This is better than Ultimate Iceman.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

The EliteXC card looks really good!

UFN 14 and UFC 84 Replay will be shown AFTER Affliction PPV and EliteXC’s CBS show is done with, so everyone can watch both without having to choose.

yah, it is a very good time to be an mma fan. however, I’ll take the xc card over a replay of the so-so ill will card any day. I think the xc card is pretty outstanding.

Elite Xc for me, Damn I’m looking forward to Bazler vs Cyborg and Nick Thompson vs Jake Shields. After I might switch over to Spike or Not. Kinda of pathetic by UFC.

UFN 14 and UFC 84 Replay will be shown AFTER Affliction PPV and EliteXC’s CBS show is done with, so everyone can watch both without having to choose.

July 19th on SPIKE:

6pm PT / 9pm ET
UFC® Silva vs Irvin

12 AM ET/ 9PM PT
UFC® Silva vs Irvin Re-Air

July 26th on SPIKE:

9 PM ET/ 6PM PT
UFC® 84: Penn vs Sherk Replay

11:30PM ET/PT
UFC® 84: Penn vs Sherk Replay

You can watch Showtime’s portion around 8PM ET/PT, followed by EliteXC’s CBS show from 9PM to 11PM ET/PT, followed by UFC 84 at 11:30 PM ET/PT.

Spike will also re-air UFN 14 back to back, so even if you watch the Affliction PPV, you don’t need to DVR or watch one versus the other at the same time.

I wonder if this is a sign of more ppvs to replay on spike tv. This would be great.
@#1 it is awesome to see organizations battling it out. It only means more mma for the fans!

Even though I don’t like the idea of the UFC trying to stifle the competition, free content is good for everybody! This, not unlike the upcoming Fight Night and Affliction cards are all GREAT reasons to own a DVR!
