SPIKE TV TO TELECAST SELECTED FIGHTS FROM UFC 104 PRELIMS


Ryan “Darth” Bader vs. “Red” Schafer And Antoni Hardonk vs. Pat Barry To Be Featured

New York, NY, October 12, 2009 – Spike TV will telecast live undercard bouts from UFC 104 on Saturday, October 24 at 9:00pm ET/ 6:00pm PT from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. The fights on Spike TV will include 'The Ultimate Fighter 8' winner Ryan Bader, a rising star in the light heavyweight division, taking on 'Red' Schafer. The one-hour telecast will run commercial-free. UFC 104 will run on pay-per-view event at 10:00pm ET.

Recently, Spike TV telecast the prelims for UFC 103 on Saturday, September 19 drawing a robust 1.4 million viewers and placed #2 on cable with Men 18-34 in the timeslot.

A two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at Arizona State University, Ryan Bader, fighting out of Tempe, Ariz., is 2-0 in the UFC and a perfect 10-0 in his mixed martial arts career. The 26-year-old light heavyweight, winner of the eighth season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” earned a unanimous decision win against veteran Carmelo Marrero in April. He now faces another experienced grappler in “Red” Schafer. Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc., Schafer is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and on a four fight win streak, with two of his three UFC wins coming via submission. His most recent victory came via TKO against Antonio Mendes at UFC 93.

Also featured, Dutch kickboxer Antoni Hardonk, a native of Amsterdam, fighting out of Los Angeles, has KOs in all four of his UFC wins. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound heavyweight has won three of his last four fights and is looking to continue his hot streak against veteran Pat Barry, fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc. A native of New Orleans, Barry looks to repeat the performance he put on against Dan Evensen at UFC 92, an impressive first round KO.

Other bouts on the card might air on Spike TV, determined by length of fights.

    Yeah this is awesome im excited to see the hardonk vs barry fight for freee along with whatever other fights they decide to show on spike. Its soo cool theyre starting to do this now putting the undercard bouts on free tv its awesome cause even if u pay for the ppv u still dont get the undercard fights which confuses me because 45 is kinda a lot of money and i think u should get all fights but whatever this will do just fine. cant wait to see the whole card cause i have to buy the ppv to see my favorite fighter, lyoto machida, fight shogun its gonna be dope! peace
