Spike TV to Air UFC 103 Prelims

Only a few weeks after Dana White answered a question at a UFC Q&A by saying that the preliminary fights on cards were a bonus he meant to reserve only for fans who actually attended the event, MMA Junkie is reporting that UFC 103's preliminary fights will air on Spike TV during a two-hour, commercial free block. That doesn't seem like enough time to fit all the preliminary fights in, but it's unlikely that the sport's hardcore fans, who have been asking for this type of preliminary fight access for a while now, will be complaining any time soon.

While the main card of UFC 103 includes Vitor Belfort, Rich Franklin, Mirko Cro Cop, Junior Dos Santos, the return of Frank Trigg, along with other big names, the undercard is almost also interesting, with fighters like former IFL champion Vladimir Matyushenko making his UFC return, as well as Jim Miller, Cole Miller, Dan Lauzon, and the always exciting Drew McFederies.
