Predictions: 2 of 3 Winners, 1 Perfect, 140 Points | Tied for 439th
I'm still trying to figure out when exactly this thing is happening, as it'll be tape-delayed for some inexplicable reason in the U.S.
Anyone know what the deal is?

It looks like the UK version of spike is showing the last 2 prelims and then the main card is live on channel 5, which is surprisingly mainstream. So we'll get it before you guys.
@pillory we don't like tape delay here- its just belator obviously arnt as in to your lunchtime MMA as much as the fightpass european cards... which I supose being on a work day might have some reasoning

Exactly. If this was on a Saturday, Bellator would at least consider airing it live to the US from the UK.
Personally, I don't care about the tape delay. I just want to be able to watch the event.

"I hope bellator finds a network that doesn't air the fights on a tape delay soon"
Since Bellator and Spike TV are both owned by Viacom, I wouldn't hold my breathe 'till that happens.
