UFC 146 will get underway tonight at 6:45 p.m.. Aside from the pay-per-view main event, there are several preliminary fights taking place on FX and Facebook.
Let’s take a look at who fights, when they fight and where each preliminary fight can be found for your viewing pleasure.
First, the Facebook round of preliminaries.

*Preliminary coverage on Facebook begins at 6:45 p.m.
| Who | Weight Class |
| Mike Brown vs. Daniel Pineda | Featherweight |
| Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira | Light Heavyweight |
| Jacob Volkmann vs. Paul Sass | Lightweight |
The premier matchup is undoubtedly Brown vs. Pineda.
Brown is a former featherweight champion. Pineda has won seven straight fights. This sets up a very interesting preliminary battle.
Brown has fallen from grace against better competition as of late, but his grappling skills are still top notch. He can overpower Pineda late in this match, something Pineda has had a problem with whenever he does happen to lose.
Pineda is one of the hottest fighters in MMA today, but Brown will put a stop to that run tonight.
Now, the preliminary fights taking place on FX.
*Preliminary coverage begins at 8 p.m. on FX.
| Who | Weight Class |
| Dan Hardy vs. Duane Ludwig | Welterweight |
| Jason Miller vs. C.B. Dollaway | Middleweight |
| Edson Barboza vs. Jamie Varner | Lightweight |
| Diego Brandao vs. Darren Elkins | Featherweight |
Hardy and Ludwig provide a great matchup in this grouping. Ludwig has been one of MMA’s best strikers for a very long time and Hardy used to be one of the sport’s biggest rising stars.
Both are dangerous, but Hardy is more fit to win. Ludwig struggles to take any punishment, and Hardy loves to dish it out.
Dollaway and Miller should be interesting as well.
Both are above average wrestlers with so-so reputations overall. Dollaway and Miller will put on a master display of submission and grappling techniques this evening.
