There was a "best of" Contender show last night, with highlights of the last two series, so presumably 3 will start next week, ITV4 at 9pm on Mondays.

I have a link to the episodes on-line if anyone wants me to post it. Not sure if episode 3 is on there yet, but episode 1 and 2 are and there's no commercial breaks!

They show the full fights this season, but the shitty sound effects are still there and they still pan off into the crowd.

On the main Contender show being shown in the US on ESPN, it is still edited fight footage BUT they do show the full fights unedited in a seperate showing.

Actually that's what I noticed watching it again. It's not the full rounds, but there is no timer at the corner of the screen. It's just plain shit really, the sentimental/family approach does my head in. I'd rather watch the ultimate fighter. It's more to the point even if you don't like mma.
