The recently announced “UFC 118: Edgar vs. Penn II” event in Boston airs on pay-per-view, but the August event also will get a one-hour “UFC Prelims” special on Spike TV.
A source close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that two preliminary-card fights will air prior to the night’s PPV airing.
Officials, though, have not decided which fights will air as part of the Aug. 28 special.
Traditionally, “The Ultimate Fighter” cast members and UFC Fight Night regulars are featured in the “UFC Prelims” specials. Therefore, a lightweight bout between “TUF 5” cast member Joe Lauzon and British fighter Terry Etim is a leading candidate for a “UFC Prelims” spot, as is a middleweight bout between “TUF 4” competitor Jorge Rivera and veteran Alessio Sakara.
