UFC 127 prelims on ION and Facebook

It looks like fans win out again at UFC 127 with more "free" fights. The promotion is throwing a total of four fights on the combination of Facebook and Ion.

Visit the UFC's Facebook page hit "like" at 8 p.m. ET to watch Jason Reinhardt battle Tiequan Zhang plus Tom Blackledge against Aussie Anthony Perosh.

At 9 p.m. ET, Facebook will air Alexander Gutstafsson against James Te Huna and Ross Pearson trying to bounce back against Spencer Fisher on ION.

According to MMAjunkie, the first ION telecast of UFC 125 delivered pretty well with 829,000 viewers. That's half of Spike's normal numbers but the ION deal wasn't announced until a few days before the event and certainly doesn't have the coverage that Spike has and isn't well known to most television viewers.
