Ultimate Fighting Championship fans will get two free events in one month’s time.
Company officials previously announced that October’s UFC 120 event in London will air via same-day delay on Spike TV, and sources close to the organization told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that November’s UFC 122 event also is expected to air on the cable station.
Although not officially announced, UFC 122 takes place Nov. 13 at Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany.
The event is expected to air via a six-hour delay on Spike TV.
UFC 122, which takes place a week before a tentatively scheduled UFC 123 pay-per-view event, marks the UFC’s return to Germany, which hosted its first show – UFC 99 with a Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva headliner – in June 2009. Despite some resistance from the German media that resulted in a ban on minors from attending the show, UFC president Dana White vowed the organization would return to and continue its expansion in the European country.
