There hasn't been any official announcements regarding free prelims for UFC 107 on Spike TV this weekend but deductive reasoning leads me to believe that there will not be as SPIKE will be broadcasting their annual video game awards show. Not too much of a loss as there aren't really any good prelim fights worth broadcasting anyway but hell, free fights are free fights, right?

Yeah chances are there was just a conflict in Spike's programming. Oh well, i wasnt looking forward to any of the prelims anyway... its all about the main card on saturday night!

Free fights also make people who bought the PPV and have to watch them again as filler feel ripped off.
The problem with UFC cards is that sometimes the undercard holds the better fights.
I wish they would put the unaired undercard fights on youtube the day after the event - no hurt feelings that way, and over time they'd make great advertising for the UFC.

That's not a terrible idea. If not putting them on youtube, at least put 1 or 2 of them there, with a link to watch the rest on the UFC site.

Hey we got a good run of them. UFC and SpikeTV didn't have to give us all those free fights without commercial breaks. It was at least a nice experiment.
A lot of fans also weren't grateful when we did finally get them.

I hope they show the prelim's of 108, that has a lot of good undercard fights.
Hopefully one the fights is a quick knock out on the main card and they can show us Belcher vs. Gouevia...
(simply "assuming" that will be a good fight, could be wrong though)

Yup. Plus, it is kinda lame seeing them again on PPV, anyway, which keeps happening.

Bums me out as I was kinda hoping to see Johny Hendricks' fight. Hopefully it gets shown on the main.

Bummer, I was loving that extra hour of fights. Hopefully it comes back in future events.

This only goes to show that the UFC is on the way out.

It is actually easy to find the prelims online the day after the event.
