Thanks British! Too bad there's some lag...

Yeah...I'm noticing that too...it was fine during the pre-show, but then the number of viewers blew up and the lag started.
Sucks, but better than listening to the Korean commentators.

I'm in the US and my friend actually ordered it, but I'm too lazy and cheap to drive to his house to watch the fights. Rolling Eyes

Damn! lol.
I'm trying to watch it on TV but trying to find somewhere that's streaming it so I can listen to the commentary that way.
My slingbox isn't working back home, or this whole thing would be moot. Damnit.

It cost me $140.00 (Canadian), and it's well worth it. The only thing you have to be careful of is where you set it up. Try to set it up on a tv that people don't watch, or you'd be stuck watching what they watch (this hasn't happened to me, but I've heard that this can happen).
Beyond that, it's well worth it. And it'll be genius during the NFL and NHL seasons.

I heard that if you split the line or something, like you would if you had multiple TVs, you can watch whatever channel, regardless of what the host (person back home) is watching.

I guess that would work too. I've just set mine up on a television that nobody back home watches. Usually it's great, but I know that my parents have been renovating my home, and I think they pulled a wire lose, which is why I'm jerking around here trying to watch this now. lol

Have you found a better stream? Brach dominated...

lol...I called my brother in law and had him go over and fixed it up for me. I missed first two fights, but caught the third and now the Lesnar fight. Lesnar friggin' dominated. That first punch was insane.

MMA-TV on the TVU player has worked very well for me. And I enjoyed each and every fight. But now I can't hardly wait for the GSP vs. BJ Penn fight.

BJ Penn should actually defend his lightweight title first. Flourian would give him a serious run for his money.

When I first saw him roll back, I thought he was doing it as strategy. A kind of "get the *beep* out of the way" type thing, but after watching that fight again, I'm convinced that Lesnar just knocked him that far. The more I watched it, and from what I've read since then, Herring was out after that first punch. It sure looked like it.
