- With a pair of "UFC Prelims" specials already on the horizon, a third will soon be on the official docket for Spike TV.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed with sources close to the promotion that the cable channel has committed to broadcasting a pair of fights from the upcoming "UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage" card.
The bouts to be contested on the special have yet to be determined. However, "The Ultimate Fighter 13" winner Tony Ferguson's contest with Aaron Riley appears a likely candidate.
The new "UFC Prelims" special will be Spike TV's ninth of 12 scheduled for 2011 (UFC 126, UFC 128, UFC 129, UFC 130, UFC 131, UFC 132 also got them, and August's UFC 133 and 134 events will also feature specials). ION Television also has aired specials when Spike TV hasn't, such as with UFC 127.
"UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage," which features a heavily anticipated light-heavyweight title clash between current champion Jon Jones and former champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, takes place Sept. 24 at Pepsi Center in Denver. MMAJunkie Sweet now I won't have to deal with the sub par Facebook feed at least for 2 of the prelims! | |
