UFC NEWS – UFC 140 Preliminary Card Set To Air On ION TV
Four preliminary card fights from next week’s UFC 140 pay-per-view event are set to air live on ION TV.
UFC 140 takes place December 10th at the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Canada and is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight featuring Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida.
UFC officials announced the program as well as the four-fight lineup yesterday afternoon.
Igor Pokrajac vs. Krzysztof Soszynski, Jared Hamman vs. Constantinos Philippou, Dennis Hallman vs. John Makdessi and Yves Jabouin vs. Walel Watson are all set to air live on the cable television station free to households in their broadcast area.
