Spike TV to air UFC 111’s Brown vs. Almeida, Diaz vs. Markham fights on “UFC Prelims”

As expected Spike TV returns with a “UFC Prelims” broadcast next month and airs UFC 111 fights of Matt Brown vs. Ricardo Almeida and Nate Diaz vs. Rory Markham.

MMAjunkie.com previously reported that UFC and Spike TV officials planned to showcase the two preliminary-card fights during the live broadcast, and Spike TV today made it official.

The one-hour special precedes the pay-per-view main-card airing of UFC 111, which takes place March 27 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
