"UFC Hardy v Lytle will be on UFC.tv free on Sunday. Will be on demand free for 7 days. ESPN not showing, but UFC main events still on ESPN"
and
"All UFC main events will still be on ESPN as usual. Hardy v Lytle is a UFC Versus event, not UFC main event."
...i know this wont effect the majority of members here but thought i'd post it for those it did, and it may be great news for those without ESPN.

we would of had 3 this month if this one wasn't pulled ... UFC 133, this event, and UFC 134, even with just the 2 at the highest price it works out at only £6 each ($9.75) which isn't bad

basically ESPN don't have the rights to the 'on Versus' shows and although they have shown them in the past, they decided not to license this event.

If ESPN didn't exist your cable bill would be $5+ less per month.

@thiago... ESPN's contract was drawn up before the 'on Versus' shows came about, and although they have shown them in the past they chose not to licence this event.
it doesn't really explain it in detail but that's what i read online
