The main Pay-Per-View card of UFC 130 is loaded with potential: from Brian Stann vs. Jorge Santiago to Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson, from Quinton Jackson vs. Matt Hamill to Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story, UFC 130 looks to have something for everybody. But in a move that was only done once before (for UFC 129), the UFC will give fans access to every single preliminary fight of UFC 130.
That’s an additional five free fights, with three fights on Facebook and two on Spike TV. It’s like getting a second event for free, and even better, the UFC preliminaries have gone from good to great in a matter of months.No longer are these fights “just the prelims”, they’re exciting encounters featuring some increasingly big names.
At their best, the “Prelims LIVE” broadcasts give us an early look at some of the UFC’s biggest potential stars. Heading into UFC 130, these are the three fighters scheduled to compete in the prelims that you absolutely should not miss.
