UFC on FX Prelims: Rafael Natal vs Sean Spencer
by Dr. Octagon, J.D.
This card is fucking stacked bra. A really solid free card and the best part is that the undercard is going to be in high definition because it’s on FX. It drives me crazy when they have the prelims on FuelTV. The flyweights aren’t so well known as it’s a new weight class that is basically just absorbing all the guys who were small enough to cut down that far. Lot of good fighters on this card though. It should be pretty good. Spencer’s a late replacement and could fight down a weight class with time to cut weight. Live updates after the jump:[[MORE]]
