UFC 89: To be Aired Spike TV
It is expected that during tomorrows counter-programming to the EliteXC when the UFC will allow fans to watch UFC 84 for free that Dana White will announce a new deal with Spike TV to host UFC 89.
“Dana White is expected to officially announce tomorrow that UFC 89, headlined by Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben, will air for free on Spike TV. Show takes place October 18th from the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.”
UFC 89 currently features a less than amazing card. The current main event is Michael Bisping Vs. Chris Leben. The card is not yet filled up though, so hopefully we will get a free title fight!

Tickets for the event can be bought on Saturday or if you are a member of the fight club you will be able to get your tickets this Wednesday ahead of the crowds.
The event as it currently stands will see Michael Bisping taking on Chris Leben a fight which should of happened at UFC 85 but due to a jail sentence for Leben was forced to be canceled. Leben was replaced by Canadian Jason Day in the event and Michael Bisping made it look like an easy win.

This is the second time the fight has been scheduled but due to Leben having some jail time to take care of in the States the fight had to be canceled.

“Two of our amazing fighters, Michael Bisping and Chris Leben, have just agreed to fight. Everyone knows about Leben’s striking power, and it’s the strike fest everyone wants. It’s the fight everyone wants to see.”
