Aye would definitely have Bisping as favourite here. Will have a few quid on that myself if they're offering that.

Was only really tempted by the main event, probably just watch that if the rest of the card isn't up to much.

Anyone see Strikeforce last night? WITHOUT spoiling, is it worth seeking out?

Brock tried to avoid the summerslam match in the first place, so why would he logically accept to fight him again at Mania after he's beaten him. Will be interesting to see how they book that, probably the old wwe selective memory comes into play.

4-2 Waites. just starting 7th. Waites was 4-0 up.

Brock v Hunter is totally underwhelming if that's planned for Mania. Like you say, it'll be way down the card, and they've also done it and dusted it down afterwards. Don't see how they reignite that feud without it seeming a bit of a retread.

Looking forward to that Bellator card yeah. Chandler is a beast and was very impressive against Alvarez. Think he'll finish Hawn. Curran v Pitbull is a wonderful fight, real potential for a great 25 minutes here, really champing at the bit for this one. Curran takes this on decision i think. LH tournament looks good too. King Mo and Newton involved. I was reading an article in the Guardian about BT stepping up it's chase for top class sports to go with their new EPL coverage. Seems tp be a consensus that ESPN are thinking of shutting down the UK channel in the summer when their EPL coverage expires. Thinking is they will sell on their FA Cup coverage to BT. Hope if this happens that someone picks up UFC coverage, would be a bit of a setback to mma in this country if it disappears off our screens.

Way to make Sheamus look weak. He has several epic matches over several months trying to take the strap off Big Show, then ADR takes it as an aside while going after him cos he pushed Ricardo around.

Rewatched Inglorious Basterds. Actually I must have missed the first 45 mins on first viewing so I'm tempted to call this a first watch. Really enjoyed it again. Don't do actress crushes but mildly smitten by Melanie Laurent (Shoshanna). Lots of references to other films and the art of filmmaking itself which I'm sure didn't pass many readers here by. Genuinely admire Tarantino's confidence in long spoken scenes, which generally contained more tension and drama than the action sequences. Nice f**k-you to subtitles haters too. Good acting all around, though I can imagine some people thinking Pitt was a bit too cartoonish and the ending a little weak and at a deeper note, like most QT films, can be read as morally troublesome. His heart is in the right place, the hyperactive coke freak. 8/10.

Can't believe they are giving this Chistian York joker a push, botches a plenty in every match, and his look was probably cool in '95.

Lol, an all-time classic according to the seamonster.

Can see this also, reckon they'll go Punk - Rock II at Mania, this feud is gonna run.

The first thing he said in his review was that he hadn't seen In Bruges.

I think someone has said on here already...but he HAS to fight him surely?! I can understand team mates not fighting each other down the card or whatever, but it has to be different for the title. If MacDonald's end game isn't the title then what the hell is he doing it for.

£20 on Brighton pre-match £20 on Brighton next goal at half-time

Hendricks, MacDonald and one of Kampmann/Ellenberger (whichever bounces back best and stakes a claim) is a years worth of fights, throw in a Silva fight and you're giving the division 15/16 months to develop again, don't think it's possible to wear out a division completely. MW doesn't look anywhere like as deep currently, but anything could happen.

Yeah i go with a Bisping win here, think he finally steps up here and grabs his title shot (is this an eliminator) if not it should be. Here what you're saying about credible fights for Silva but at the same time a year is a long time for a weight class to develop. I mean look at welter. That division was done when GSP went out injured and by the time he's come back it's stacked with new credible contenders. Someone could easily step up hy the time he's faced the two or three immediate contenders that there are now.

LOL! Cain would ground and pound that joker in about 5 seconds flat. Pure publicity stunt.

I saw the beggining of Blade Runner whilst it was on during Christmas, I vagely remember seeing it once before but this time it really hooked me in, I got uop to the bit where the bloke in glasses has dared Harrison to test his theories on the very pretty replicant with the quiff, and how it took him much longer than usual, to catch her out BECAUSE not even she knew she was one. I'm definatley going to DVD this in the New Year.

This is going to live up i reckon.

Wow! 350 out in 6 darts.

Van Gerwen Nation Army/Taylor Wonderland back and forward pre-match.

Taylor cleary pumped his fists while staring at Barneveld twice before going around the officials, also appeared to shout something too. What a nonsense claiming he's done no wrong here. Can't get my head around that viewpoint.

I'll forgive them having a comic book episode on a pre-taped xmas eve raw, surely they won't go so far again though?

Not looking at that, but i assume it's not going to be something that makes you think "oh well, no point watching that then". Therefore the answer to your question is ratings...always ratings.
