hmmm didn't know that it would be on Spike, that will mean I can just record it none of these fights are that great IMO, BJ will blow through Joe and after the tentativeness Werdum showed vs AA who knows what to expect in this fight.
I didn't know it would be on Spike either and until I see a commercial for it saying so, I'm going to be hesitant to say that it is for certain going to be on free TV. That's what I've been led to believe, though. Typical British card, though. The welterweight and lightweight bouts on the undercard are probably going to be better than anything on the main card.
I saw a commercial saying it will be on PPV. I haven't heard anything about it being on Spike. Fight Night on the 23rd will be on Spike. Maybe thats the commercial you saw.

But you're right, according to the UFC site, it will air at 3PM EST on PPV, and be replayed at 7PM EST.
