The UFC isn't ditching its live streams of preliminary-card fights just yet.

FUEL TV officials today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that next month's UFC on FUEL TV 1 event will include some fights that stream for free on Facebook prior to the televised main card.

However, most bouts from the Feb. 15 card will air live as part of the cable channel's three-hour broadcast.

UFC on FUEL TV 1 takes place Feb. 15 at the 10,000-seat Omaha Civic Auditorium in Nebraska. Diego Sanchez and Jake Ellenberger clash in the welterweight headliner, and heavyweights Dave Herman and Stefan Struve meet in the co-headliner.

It's not clear which bouts will air on FUEL TV and which will stream online.

In addition to the event, which airs from 8-11 p.m. ET (5-8 p.m. PT), UFC on FUEL TV 1 will include a one-hour pre-show (7 p.m. ET) and one-hour post-show (11 p.m. ET) on the cable channel. The weigh-ins also air live on Feb. 14.

The latest UFC on FUEL TV 1 card includes:
Jake Ellenberger vs. Diego Sanchez
Dave Herman vs. Stefan Struve
Ronny Markes vs. Aaron Simpson
Jonathan Brookins vs. Rani Yahya
John Albert vs. Ivan Menjivar
Philip De Fries vs. Stipe Miocic
Back in November, UFC and FOX officials suggested fights no longer would be streamed and that all bouts would be televised in some form. However, it appears Facebook, which first began streaming UFC preliminary-card fights in early 2011, will stick around a little longer.
