Ryan Bader Getting Baked Like a Pork Chop and Training for UFC 104

The UFC will show two live undercard fights on Spike TV during its UFC 104 show, and there’s nothing like free fights if you’re a fan.

Spike said the two preliminary fights — Ryan Bader vs. Eric Schafer and Antoni Hardonk vs. Pat Barry — will air live at 9 PM ET on October 24, an hour before the UFC 104 pay-per-view broadcast begins.

The one-hour broadcast will air without commercials and could include other fights on tape delay.

Spike TV also showed prelim fights before UFC 103 in September, and 1.4 million viewers made it the No. 2 show on cable in its time slot among men ages 18 to 34.

Putting Bader on the Spike card makes a lot of sense; he won Season 8 of Spike’s The Ultimate Fighter, and he’s a popular fighter.

Hardonk vs. Barry isn’t quite the marquee match-up that Bader vs. Schafer is, but it’s still a solid heavyweight fight featuring two dangerous strikers. Fights that could make the Spike broadcast if time permits include Yushin Okami vs. Chael Sonnen, Jorge Rivera vs. Rob Kimmons, Kyle Kingsbury vs. Razak Al-Hassan and Stefan Struve vs. Chase Gormley
