When and what channel will these fights be on this weekend or next?

ONE HD is showing the main card this Saturday from 1pm for the Melvin Guillard vs. Jim Miller UFC on FX...not the greatest card but its still free UFC

And ONE HD is also showing the Evans vs. Davis from 12pm on Sunday the 29th...cant argue with free shit!

How long you been doing BJJ and what Gym do you go to?

 

[Collateral]

Hey Ram Ill be going to Gracie Barra tomorrow for a free first session...pumped to try out a new gym that specialises in BJJ!

Im at MAQLD in Toowong.

Only been going since October but wish I had started 10 years ago.

 

[Ram Man]

Good stuff Collateral...fingers crossed you will enjoy it...if its anything like my gym (which it should be) you will love it...takes a while to get into the groove and if anything, your skill level will drop before it gets better because you learn proper technique, but 6 months in, you wont know yourself!

Pretty standard statement jc, I have played footy since I was 5 and will always remain my first sporting preference, but BJJ is addictive and I feel the same way, should have started years ago...I've been doing it for just over 2 years, but I had a 6 month break from training last year because of footy...back into it now and you definately learn more than 1 thing everytime you throw the Gi on.

Looks like the UFC event for Brissie later this year will end up being the finale for an Aus vs U.K series of The Ultimate Fighter.

Hope they can give us a decent main event for it. Pettis vs cerrone... Can dream haha

 

[Mateo Moi Moi]

Be interesting to see who the coaches are. Haven't really got the superstars to call on like Brazil had with Wanderlei and Belfort.

Etim v Sotiropoulos (Lightweight)
Hardy v Ebersole (Welterweight) And yes I am claiming Ebersole as an Aussie
Noke v Bisping (Middleweight)

Throw in Perosh (Aus) and Pearson (UK)
Couple of kiwis - Te Huna & Hunt.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Perosh would be the best coach of them, he can bring on Elvis Sinosic to help coach.

I can see it being Kyle Noke tho.

Yeah man I really enjoyed it. Everyones very friendly and helpful without the attitudes of some other places Ive been. Needless to say I signed up and now train out of Gracie Barra Brookvale

 

[jc155776]

How good was the FX event? Though each fight was fantastic with plenty of action. Love the 135 division. Lightweight or lower fights are always brilliant.

UFC on Fox 3... first fight on the main card announced..

Nate Diaz v Jim Miller!! Wow... thats a cracker IMO!!

 

[Jack_Napier]

Nate's on a tear at the moment so I reckon he'll run through Jim. Lik the millers bros but. No bullshit fighters. Way I've been with predictions lately but Jim will crush Nate ha ha.

On another note recently joined Gracie Humaita in Ingleburn. Been talking bout it for way to long so went down and spoke to them and took up a free complimentary lesson and loved it.

 

[Collateral]

I think Nate will keep it standing and box his way to a comfortable UD.

Would love to see it goto the ground though,

 

[jc155776]

Would rather see pettis vs Diaz but I guess pettis needs another win to get back in the frame. Light division is killer at the moment.
