UFC 57 Televised Fights
Does anyone know if all of the fights on the fight card will be televised on PPV? It seems that the past few UFC's have only shown a portion of the fight card on PPV. 9 fights seems like a lot of fights to fit in the PPV time slot, but for $40, they better show the entire fight card.

It all depends on how long the fights last. If none of them were to go past the first round, then yes, even the undercard fights will get shown. But if all of them go the distance.............................

That hasn't always been true. At 55 They had over an hour left at the end of the PPV and still didn't show all the prelims. They usually only show the ones that end in a KO or quick sub.

I really hope they air Diaz v Riggs. It's listed second to last on the UFC site and it seems Diaz is always on prelims. If they show Monson v Hinkle and not Diaz v Riggs, it will be a shame.

There are three fights I want to see live. Babalu v MVA, Riggs v Diaz, and Mir v Curz. I think Paul's fight would be another good one to see live. But if I don't see those three I will be upset when the PPV is over.

I agree. Diaz and Riggs needs to be shown ahead of Monson vs. Hinkle. The UFC would only hurt itself by not showing this fight.

Couture vs Liddell
Mir vs Cruz
Diaz vs Riggs
Babalu vs Van Arsdale
Buentello vs Aldana
They should show these 5 if they only show 4 then drop Buentello vs Aldana
Or Heck why don't they just start the PPV at 7:30 and show all of them!!!

If your paying 40 bucks to watch then you should get all the fights IMO. I ahven't decided yet if I wanna shell out the money and watch it live, but Couture/Liddell is going to some crazy ass stuff. Can you just imagine when these guys come to the ring and how much anticipation is going to just blow up as soon as these guys get ready to fight. it's going to be off the hook.

That's what I'm saying. 40.00 for 4 fights? Give me all of them. I can make room in my busy schedule to watch 7 or 8 fights on a Saturday night. |

True, they should show all to make our money's worth in ordering it. I am still debating if I should order this or not.

I hope so.....If that is the case then it is worth ordering. I would like to see the Paul vs. ALdana fight...I seen a small preview of Aldana and he is an animal. |

I think we are going t see about 7 of them.. I also think one of them will be Paul's fight. I could be wrong, I just think for the $40 they will show more given the correct timing.

Yeah, not all the fights will go to the judges, so I bet well get about 7 as well. In a three hour PPV, I doubt they will not show a guaranteed banger like Pauls fight.
