ESPN continues to listen to the fans.Phase three of live coverage, after the calamity of UFC 101, the rescue act at UFC 102 and 103 (where, indeed, Paul Daley’s bout was to be aired pre-main card before he was elevated to a starring role) UK MMA fans might note that two fights from the UFC 104 preliminary card in 11 days’ time on Oct 24 are to be aired in the UK.
While Spike TV announced it will broadcast two fights before the main card goes live on pay-per-view, I understand ESPN will get the feed. The two bouts chosen for free viewing on Spike TV are “The Ultimate Fighter 8″ light heavyweight winner Ryan Bader (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) vs. Eric Schafer (11-3-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Antoni Hardonk (8-5 MMA, 4-3 UFC) vs. fellow heavyweight Patrick Barry (4-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
We can therefore assume those are the fights which ESPN will show.
Later UFC 104 will be headlined by UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida in an all-Brazilian five-rounder Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, on Oct 24, 2009.
