Ion Television to Host Four UFC 140 Prelim Bouts - MMA Combat

The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced Monday that four preliminary bouts from UFC 140 - Jones vs. Machida, will air live on Ion Television beginning at 7PM EST.

Light heavyweight talents Krzysztof Soszynski and Igor Pokrajac, middleweights Jared Hamman and Constantinos Philippou, lightweights John Makdessi and Dennis Hallman, and bantamweights Yves Jabouin and Walel Watson will be among the featured fighters on the television broadcast. The three remaining preliminary fights will be available prior on the promotion's facebook page.

“We are excited to give UFC fans four great fights live and free on ION Television this Saturday,” UFC president Dana White said in a release. “We always try to give fans free fights on TV and this is just another example.”

Saturday, December 10, 2011, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will go live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for UFC 140 - Jones vs. Machida, featuring a light heavyweight title bout between promotion champion Jon "Bones" Jones (14-1-0) and former 205lbs champ, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida (17-2-0).

In the co-main event, former heavyweight kings Frank Mir (15-5-0) and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (33-6-1) will go to war in a rematch; in 2008, Mir defeated Nogueira by TKO in the second round, but "Minotauro" maintained his condition was drastically affected by a staph infection suffered shortly before the contest.
