i'm gutted they aren't showing it... it's the only reason i pay the extra for ESPN.

"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.

ESPN works out quite good for us really, we pay £12 ($19.50 approx) per month for it and only £9 ($14.60) if you already get the sports pack and sometimes we get more than 1 event per month.

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

some more info on how to watch the event and why it's not being shown on ESPN (uk) ...

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/garethadavies/100018376/ufc-dan-hardy-vs-chris-lytle-to-be-shown-on-ufc-tv-not-espn-espn-will-continue-to-air-main-events/

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.

@geezhound well, you basically do pay more for it.  ESPN charges your cable company a carriage fee of something like $5 per subscriber.  I'm pretty sure it's the most expensive "free" channel on cable.

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

that's great news! ... it's not showing on my TV guide yet but hopefully it will soon ... a free stream was a good substitute and better than nothing, but this is 10x better.

@Kalibo, thanks all the same for the thought!

@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

Right, I've bookmarked it on my sky digital. Too bad I'll have to move away from the PC to see it but Gregory will probably be releived at one less person spamming :D
