MMA fans will be able to catch several of this weekend’s UFC 127 preliminary bouts, as the promotion announced today that ION Television will broadcast three fights from the undercard of this Saturday’s event in Sydney, Australia.

The fights ION will be showing include Nick Ring vs. middleweight Riki Fukuda, light-heavyweight James Te Huna vs. Alexander Gustaffson and Ross Pearson vs. veteran lightweight Spencer Fisher.
ION’s broadcast will begin at 9:00PM EST/ 6:00PM PST.
UFC 127 will be hosted by Sydney’s Acer Arena and will be headlined by a welterweight contender bout between Jon Fitch and former champ BJ Penn. The main card will be available by pay-per-view.
In addition to the ION broadcast, the UFC will stream Jason Reinhardt vs. bantamweight Tiequan Zhang and light-heavyweight Tom Blackledge vs. Anthony Perosh on Facebook. In total, 10 of the 12 bouts scheduled for the February 26th card will be available for viewing.
