Será que inclui-se aí os episódios do TUF? Seria uma ótima.

Premiere Combate é o bixo, como diria o Wallid.

[Convidado Bukowski]

Os TUF antigos passam na FOX, se o Premiere passasse os atuais seria demais.

o Sportv podia passar os UFN e os TUF, deixando só o UFC pro Premiere (ppv), como é nos EUA

Q show... em casa não tem a opção pra assinar o premier, mas tem a sportv. O q vier é lucro.

Exelente notica para nós, assinantes e amantes do MMA.

Valeu GloboSat...

Como é esse programa? UFC Unleashed

[Dempsey 0]

Muito show, e se viesse o TUF aí quebrava a banca.

E o Aflicction, será que sai muito caro transmitir ao vivo? Esse valeria o investimento, Fedor x Arlovski é uma luta cercada de grande expectativa, se bem que eu acho que o padeiro vai liquidar rapidão.

Como é esse programa? UFC Unleashed

É tipo o Espaço Octógono, aparecem algumas lutas passadas.

Conforme disse nosso colega do PVT, não acredito que a Globosat irá transmitir algum evento do Dream, como conhecemos o Sr. Dana White, deve existir uma cláusula no contrato de exclusividade com a ZUFFA.

Pra quem não sabe... no canal FX passa o TUF...
