***********LISTEN UP***********

Looks like some of the UFC pay-per-view pirates may be walking the plank sooner rather than later.

Ustream.tv recently complied with a subpoena issued on behalf of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) requesting the IP addresses of users illegally broadcasting pay-per-view events through the live streaming site, NewTeeVee confirms.

"Ustream was subpoenaed by UFC via Zuffa earlier this year to provide identifiable information on certain broadcasters, which Ustream fully complied with in a timely manner. Ustream continues to work cohesively with our premium content partners to prevent piracy, including UFC to legally stream officially-sanctioned UFC events.”

Not coincidentally, the Ustream gang has also added a new copyright protection system to help deter future content crooks from trying to cheat the world's largest fight promotion.

Justin.tv, also named in the Zuffa copyright subpoena, has yet to respond.



I'm thinking if they can get those ipaddresses they can come after the people viewing it illegally also.

My opinion only, and yes I will be watching



I have a question also about rules,
Why when most fighters have worked for a good top position, do they not allow knees or kicks to the head?

The only reason I ask is therebhave been a couple of fights that have stoppages because of a minor brush to the face with a knee or kick (Kongo and Beuntelo)

i feel that if you have gained the dominant position and you leave yourself wide open to it then so be it. I feel the same with the back of the head. There should be a time limit or something to leaving the back of head exposed.

Champ Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen (for middleweight title)
•Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch
•Rafael dos Anjos vs. Clay Guida
•Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Hughes
•Junior Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson

i'd still pick silva in a rematch
