UFC 85 to air on pay-per-view
By MMAFighting.com on April 24, 2008
UFC 85 at the O2 Arena in London will air on pay-per-view and not Spike TV.
The official UFC website previously listed Spike TV as the carrier of UFC 85, but late this morning, made the correction. The UFC has confirmed to MMAFighting.com that the correction will stand.
UFC 85 is currently missing a main event and an event title after Chuck Liddell withdrew from his bout versus Rashad Evans due to a torn hamstring. Evan's new opponent is expected to be James Irvin.
The price for UFC pay-per-views is $44.95, which began with UFC 81: Breaking Point last February.
