UFC on the internet info?

Someone posted a site here before where you could watch the UFC pay-per-views live on the internet.
Can anyone refresh my memory? I had it bookmarked but my desktop caught a nasty virus...

You know as long as I've been into this stuff..I never have once gotten a live feed. Let me know if you find one that works well.

I do go to MMA Linker and they have the fights usually very shortly after they happen. You'll get like 10 options after each fight and in an hour or so 5 or 6 get taken down, but you can still find external links.

There was a valid sight that was live for UFC about a year ago. I don't remember what it was. I was sceptical but one night we got the pay per view and watched it online at the exact same time. So, the next pay per view we didn't get, thinking we would watch it online. Well, we watched the prelims, but right before the last two fights started, it blacked out.

Silva knocked Griffin the F out.
All the above links fizzled out, none of them worked ;-(

That's a shame too, because Machida is someone who actually would matchup well against him. Machida is a counterpuncher and so might have a shot. Notice I said might. Silva is the man until proven otherwise. But I would LOVE to see that fight.

tone,
I agree with the first part of your post. Forrest embarrassed himself both during the fight and afterwards when he ran off like a little girl.
However I disagree with most of your Dana/Fedor paragraph. UFC needs Fedor? Hardly. UFC is exploding without him. Granted Fedor does not need the UFC, he can continue to fight second rate opponents and his fans will continue to see him as some sort of unbeatable god. Hey, I was the biggest Fedor fan out there and still give him his props, but if you truly analayze his fights and competition, you would realize Lesnar would have a great chance against him, I would rate that fight a toss-up. (Would love to see it like everyone, but realize it will never happen....)
Until Fedor takes on some top-level guys, we can all just speculate. It's not his fault a lot of his wins are against tomato-cans, but until he comes over and takes on the cream of the crop, he's got a chink in his armor as far as I'm concerned. Look at his fight against Crocop, a five round decision win in which Crocop held his own. Crocop was supposed to be the man, that's all I heard until he came over to the UFC and got his ass handed to him by Gonzaga and Congo, who aren't even cream of the crop in UFC. And Arlovski was untouched and starting to find the range on him until that ill-timed flying knee met Fedors wild haymaker.
I know how fervent Fedor fans are, so you'll probably disagree with me, but I'm unbiased here. I think Fedor is a great fighter, just not unbeatable.

"Forrest acted like a bitch, running outta there like that."

I thought maybe he had to go to the bathroom really bad! Lol. It was awesome seeing Anderson knock out Forrest's lily-white ass! He's my man!

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, just not all of it. I never said Fedor should kiss Dana's ass, like I said, he'll do just fine without him, and so will Dana. It's us fans who lose. It's just a classic pissing contest between egos.
Obviously there is other MMA talent in the world. Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson, Rampage, Wanderlei, all came from Pride.
But Lesnar is the real deal. Other than the first Mir fluke, (which he totally avenged by beating the crap out of him in the second fight) Lesnar has beat everyone put in front of him. True, he doesn't have a slew of victories over Asian guys we've never heard of, but total domination in his last three fights of Heath Herring, Couture and Mir.
Couture washed up? Not according to the rankings, he's the 6th best heavyweight in the world. Mir is 4th. He beat the crap out of both of them.
Fedors victories can be debated. He fights Nogeira three times and all three come to decisions? WTF? Mir beat the crap out of Nogeira, owned him. Then Lesnar beat the crap out of Mir.
As I said, I give Fedor his due respect, he's beat everyone put in front of him. I just wish we'd see him fight Lesnar.

Tone,
I think we'll have to agree to disagree.
However, as to if Lesnar deserves his status, you are in the minority. fightmagazine.com has him ranked second in the world only to Fedor. Why is that? Did they buy into the Dana hype? mmaweekly has him ranked third. Are they owned by Dana and Zuffa? You're kind of out in left field on this one. The fact he doesn't have 10 tune-ups against unknown schmoes is meaningless. He is such an imposing physical specimen that it was obvious the guy was going to be a force to be reckoned with, he didn't need 10 tune-ups. You're also conveniently leaving out that he was an NCAA wrestling champion. How does that compare to Kimbo? Nice try.
GSP Silva would be great, but also will never happen.

Well, on your last point I agree 100 %. The next three UFC events are true yawners, I won't be paying a dime or going out of my way to see them. Hopefully someday we'll hook up in colombia and we can present our cases over a cold cervesa :-)

You guys seem to forget Lesnar was an NCAA National Champion and before that a National Champ in DII as well as a D1 All American. Go and look up the hundreds of wrestling matches that he's had in his career. I know this is not MMA but anyone would be wrong to think that it has nothing to do with his skill nowadays. The fact that he is probably the best athlete in MMA right now (alongside GSP and Silva) helps as well. He didn't know Football as he didnt play since he was in like Jr HighSchool...but when he walked on for the Vikings athletically on the combine scores he was right there with some of the linebackers in speed even though he was taller and heavier. Love him or hate him you cannot deny his athletic ability. Match with that his work ethic and you have a man who will be very successful in MMA.

I agree Lesnar is easy to dislike and he doesn't mind being hated, but if you think he's not for real you're mistaken. His first fight in MMA was against Mir who is STILL a beast. He would have finished Mir in the First I think had he not hit him in the back of his head. And yes I was rooting for Mir. Anyone see how Mir beat Nog? Just a fluke?

The UFC heavyweight division is coming along well actually. You have Shane Carwin, who is known as a wrestler but nobody has ever made it out of the 1st round with him as he hits like a sledge hammer 11-0 with 11 KO's. His ground game hasnt even been tested yet because he is so damn explosive on his feet. I would like to see him and Lesnar. Also Kain Valezquez is another heavyweight beast, 2x All American coming out of Arizona with a very aggressive style and good chin. Recently showed how bad Kongo is at wrestling.

Toneloc...Alistair Overeem was not bad years ago, but he's def not top level any longer.

Brett Rogers is an ok fighter. Just because he beat Arlovski doesn't hold too much water in my mind though, because even thought Arlovski is big and athletic he has shown many times that he doesn't have much of a chin.

I would love to see GSP vs. SIlva. I think they'de have to find a good weight to meet at though, this would be a weird match up unless lined up correctly.
