The UFC’s cable broadcast home Spike will air two UFC 106 preliminary matchups prior to the pay-per-view portion of the card, a pair of sources confirmed to FanHouse on Tuesday.
The two bouts scheduled to air include the welterweight clash between Marcus Davis and Ben Saunders, as well as a middleweight tangle pitting Jake Rosholt against Kendall Grove.
The event marks the third time the UFC and Spike will air prelim fights leading into a major card. The first outing took place at UFC 103, when 1.4 million viewers tuned in to see Tomasz Drwal choke out Drew McFedries and Efrain Escudero knock out Cole Miller. Last month at UFC 104, a broadcast showing Pat Barry’s KO of Antoni Hardonk and Ryan Bader’s decision win over Eric Schafer also drew 1.4 million viewers.
