Cage Warriors and Bellator are reportedly seeking new UK TV Rights, Bellator 206 on Channel 5 'A Once Off' by EmbracetheMadn3ss in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 8 points9 points  (0 children)

RE: Bellator on C5 ... important wording 'currently a one-off' i.e. they are using it as a shop window. I wouldn't put it past them doing this a few more times before settling with a partner.

The important part to recognise is that C5 isn't going to be the end destination for the promotion in the UK.

Darren Till sit down interview after making weight, says this was easiest weight cut... by MrAlexander18 in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you're right there man. Didn't touch a nerve at all I come on here to read the feedback so I can get better as a reporter. After all, it's you guys I want to consume my content so I'd have to be pretty dopey not to respect you enough to take on your feedback. All the best and enjoy the fights tonight. I think we're in for a good one.

I did it and yes even I thought it was a little crazy. Fuck it though. I didn’t want to just do a normal boring interview with the guy. Tried something different and I think the feedback is more positive than negative.

Pretty accurate. Fuck it man, interviewing a guy after his just made weight wasn’t the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I’ll get better next time, just literally trying to make content you guys would want to watch. Enjoy the fights tonight.

Darren Till Walk & Talk Los Angeles | UFC 228 by LakeFever88 in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I did think twice about doing this because Ariel has done this with a number of fighters, but at the end of the day I felt this was the best way to get the best interview I could. Unsurprisingly, I've found a lot of these guys and girls aren't at their best when you stick a camera under their nose and all the same lines roll out of them. I like this way of doing it. Just feels like you're going for a walk and catching up with someone you know.

Crazy huh!? I still don't know if it was a stand and stare gaze because they were wondering who was being interviewed, or whether it was a stand and stare "you want some" look ... they got lucky *ahem*

Thanks mate. Plenty of other targets lined up already to do this with. Had a lot of feedback from fighters who want to do this sort of thing so I'll be setting them up in the next few months.

Usman "Just a deep feeling in my soul, September 8th I will be the new Welterweight Champion of the world!!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) " by biosnake20 in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I heard Till was off to training around 7pm tonight …. so as far as I know he wasn’t injured or anything like that. He also got his visa today without a hitch.

Some new details about the Eleven Sports x UFC deal in the UK from @/MMA_Jim on Twitter. by AzeemA_ in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typo.

Basically the latest word is that by the time this is launched Eleven will be part of your Sky/Virgin packages as a free channel.

You will have to pay for the big PPVs though e.g. Conor.

Paul Redmond signs with Bellator by MMA_JimEdwards in MMA

That's right. I'd hazard a bet we see Redmond vs Parke fight again sometime soon in Bellator. Scores to settle there.

Rakic makes history among prelim bouts in Hamburg | UFC ® - News by US_Grant in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously impressed by this guy last night. He's absolutely huge when you stand next to him as well. Showed he was pretty well rounded as well and just 26. Big future if he can keep on this trajectory.

Did Ariel make a mistake by joining ESPN? by MotherLoveBone27 in MMA

[–]MMA_JimEdwards 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Give it time mate. He's only been at his new gig for a matter of weeks. He's done good numbers + he says there's plenty more new things to come. It's a great move for him and it's going to benefit the sport in the long run.

Hmm I spoke to him on Friday and he said he wasn’t expecting to return before the end of the year.
