Wacht even beide cards af, ga zowiezo naar 1, maar 2 vind ik iets te veel van het goede.
Zal waarschijnlijk toch gewoon Londen worden denk ik.
Fedor - Mousasi - GSP - Aoki - Hellboy - Cigano - Alvarez - Wicky - Diaz - Kitaoka
Signature bet record: 2-0
Nice. :O
Zal wel lekker zijn in duitsland !
Be a Warrior, not a Worrier
ganz geil ja
Waarom niet NL, zat interesse hier.
Ik had het er gisteren nog over met Micha dat het weer eens tijd werd om naar de UFC te gaan
Chael Sonnen: The only thing bigger than UFC 167 is Wanderlei Silvas forehead
zoals Garcia al liet weten in een ander topic:
UFC 122 SLATED FOR RETURN TO GERMANY
UFC 122 will take place Nov. 13 at Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. The event may not be available on German television if the UFC can’t work things out with broadcasting officials there, but it will be available to the U.S. market on a six-hour, same-day delay on Spike TV. The news was first reported by MMAJunkie.com and independently confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the event.
"We are doing a show," UFC president Dana White said earlier this year about returning to Germany in 2010. "One thing we don't do, we don't back down, and we don't curl up and climb into the closet when things don't go (our way). We're going to come out, guns a-blazing, and we're going to keep going."
UFC programming was pulled from television networks in Germany because officials said the "extent of violence shown to be unacceptable."
White won’t be deterred, however.
"Our job is to build the sport. We're not going to stop. Not getting TV isn't going to stop us; we're going to keep going. We can't get into Ontario; we're opening an office there. It doesn't bother us."
"Some people have so much respect for their superiors
they have none left for themselves."
"Some people have so much respect for their superiors
they have none left for themselves."
This will be the UFC's second event in Germany and second in mainland Europe. The sport has been met with severe criticism by German media, which led to the banning of minors from the first German UFC event (UFC 99).
The sport itself was actually banned from broadcast altogether in Germany in March 2010 due to "extent of violence shown to be unacceptable.
"Regardless, UFC plans to combat the opposition, after stating: "Not getting TV isn't going to stop us; we're going to keep going. We can't get into Ontario; we're opening an office there. It doesn't bother us."
Dennis Siver and Kris McCray are expected to compete at this event.
Bouts currently reported to be in the works for the event include:
- Vitor Belfort vs. TBA
- Amir Sadollah vs. Peter Sobotta
- Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Goran Reljic
- Pascal Krauss vs TBA

wat mag da koste?
ik ben er bij.. hopen dat stefan dan ook moet knokken!!
Helaas zit de Duitse politiek weer tegen te stribbelen door een verbied in te stellen op het uitzenden van het evenement op de Duitse TV zender DSF.
Dana White heeft vandaag gezegd dat hij zich niet laat tegenhouden door deze actie. Met of zonder TV deal UFC komt naar Duitsland eind dit jaar.
Dana White:
“We are doing a show. One thing we don’t do it we don’t back down and we don’t climb into the closet and curl up when things go our way. We are going to come out guns blazing,UFC werd vorig jaar uitgezonden om DSF maar omdat veel mensen het te agressief vonden werd er een verbod ingesteld om het uitzenden van UFC tegen te gaan.
Our job is to build a sport and we’re not going to stop. Not getting TV is not going to stop us, we can’t stage a show in Ontario and we went and opened an office there. It doesn’t bother us.”
"Some people have so much respect for their superiors
they have none left for themselves."
Er is in Duitsland een hele sterke bokslobby. Die lui zien wereldwijd de interesse in MMA toenemen. Logisch dat juist die mensen gaan klagen. Zo zo zijn er ook veel klachten uit Duitsland binnengekomen bij de Franse regering toen Eurosport MMA ging uitzenden. Eurosport is een Franse zender en volgens de Franse wet is (was?) MMA VERBOTEN!
Op zekah dat ik daarbij ben.
