The Ultimate Fighter London Trials
On December 2nd Dana White, accompanied by Stephan Bonnar and Forrest
Griffin, came to London to find two British fighters for the third
season of The Ultimate Fighter. Around 50 fighters tried out including
Matt Ewin, Charlie Francis, Braulio Estima, Ross Pointon, Ryan Robinson
and Michael Bisping. Applicants were put through their paces sparring in
submission grappling and working on the pads before those with the
requisite skills were asked back for the interviews. The remaining
fighters were then invited back the next day for the final round of
selection on these shores. More news as we get it...

Cagewarriors Sign TV Deal With TWC
The Cagewarriors Fighting Championships and Warrior Promotions are
delighted to announce that they have stuck a deal with TWC to commence
broadcasts of Cagewarriors shows on the Sky Digital Channel. TWC
broadcasts in the Sports EPG on Channel 427 and continues to broaden its
output with the new Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) programming from the UK's
premiere Ultimate Fighting Company. Cage Warriors will sit alongside the
recently signed "Big Brawl", a boxing competition aimed at giving the
average man a chance to see if they have what it takes to step into the
ring.
This change in direction has also led TWC to seek out other avenues and
Cagewarriors are delighted that they have decided to pick-up our unique
form of Mixed Martial Arts/Ultimate Fighting which has been in existence
since the summer of 2002.
As part of the deal TWC will be showing events from Cagewarriors’ back
catalogue starting with Cagewarriors 3 which took place in Southampton
back in March 2003. This event will be shown this Friday at 9pm,
December 2nd, and will be followed next Friday, December 9th by
Cagewarriors 4:UK vs. France . This event took place in July of 2003.
Cagewarriors and TWC are also proud to announce that events' from
Cagewarriors’ flagship "Strike Force" brand will also be shown. The UK
TV premiere for Strike Force will be on December 11th 2005, when viewers
will be treated to the debut of Cagewarriors Strike Force 1, which took
place at the Skydome Arena, Coventry in May this year. This
groundbreaking show set new standards for MMA in the UK and attracted a
record audience to see a card which consisted of 10 UK vs. France bouts
and featured a highly anticipated and controversial Middleweight Title
bout, a Cage Kickboxing bout featuring Michael "The Count" Bisping and
the return of local hero Barrington Patterson. This will be shown as
part of TWC’s "Supercard Sunday" series broadcast at 8pm on December
11th.
In the coming months a variety of Cagewarriors events and features will
be shown on TWC as they attempt not only to introduce the various
Cagewarriors franchises on their channel but also spread the word of UK
MMA to their traditional audience which has not experienced UK MMA,
whilst also reaching out to a new audience themselves. Programmes will
run on a weekly basis, most likely as part of a Friday night fight
package.
Sean Herbert, Director of Programming at TWC says "TWC is delighted to
be able to introduce Cage Warriors and MMA to the TWC audience. This is
part of our process of broadening the Channels' output to our existing
audience whilst appealing to new viewers with this innovative and
exciting sport."
Andy Lillis, Vice President of Cage Warriors says "Cage Warriors and
Warrior Promotions are thrilled to make this step into UK digital
television. We look forward to our partnership with TWC and bringing MMA
and Ultimate Fighting to an even bigger audience"
