ESPN UK airs The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale live on Sunday morning
Fight fans in the United Kingdom can rejoice; The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale will air live after all.
After initial confusion and apparently no plans for a broadcast, UFC UK President Marshall Zelaznik today confirmed the event is slated to air live on ESPN UK.
The event, which takes place Dec. 5 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, airs early Sunday morning (late Saturday night), Dec. 6 at 2 a.m. GMT on ESPN UK. The event airs in the U.S. on Spike TV at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Zelaznik posted the news on his personal Facebook page, and the UFC UK's office today posted a release with information about the weekend broadcast.
The event airs in the late-night timeslot because of the five-hour difference between the U.S. and U.S. East Coast.
A replay of the event airs Thursday, Dec. 10, at 10:45 p.m. GMT on the FIVE USA channel in the U.K.
The Ultimate Fighter 10 concludes the current heavyweights-only season of the UFC's reality series. In addition to the two finalists, a host of other cast members, including Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson, compete on the night's undercard. Matt Hamill and Jones Jones meet in the night's light heavyweight main event.
