UFC to air live undercard matches on free TV for first time

YAHOO!'s Dave meltez reports that UFC will air a one-hour commercial free special showing live undercard matches from UFC 103 on SPIKE TV.

The move is designed to combat the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez match from Las Vegas that will be airing head-to-head with the UFC PPV show, which is headlined by a pedestrian catch weight match between Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort.

The special will be based around TUF 8 winner Efrain Escudero against Cole Miller and Drew McFedries vs. Tomasz Drwal.
