It's on: UFC to show UFC 100 fights opposite Strikeforce

From UFC.com:

New York, NY, August 12, 2009 – Spike TV will present a special cable telecast of some of the most exciting bouts from UFC 100, one of the biggest nights in the history of mixed martial arts, on Saturday, August 15 at 10:00pm-12:30am ET/PT. Featuring Brock Lesnar’s coronation as heavyweight king and Dan Henderson’s must-see knockout over Michael Bisping, the Spike TV telecast marks the first time that bouts from this landmark event will be televised off of Pay-Per-View.

Heavyweight Championship Bout
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir

Middleweights
Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping

Middleweights
Alan Belcher vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama

Light Heavyweights
Stephan Bonnar vs. Mark Coleman

Lightweights
Shannon Gurgerty vs. Matt Grice

Light Heavyweights
Jon Jones vs. Jake O’Brien

Well, this is certainly interesting. Of the six fights, three weren't shown on pay per view, so this is an interesting twist on this.

Smart move by the UFC, especially mixing those big fights with unaired prelims. Not too good for Strikeforce.

Bloody hell.
