Less than a week after the UFC held its most anticipated event of the year - the UFC 148 fight card in Las Vegas, Nevada - the Octagon is in San Jose, as 22 mixed martial artists are set to do battle at UFC on Fuel TV: Muñoz vs. Weidman.
The main card will air exclusively on Fuel TV in the United States, but five preliminary fights will be available as a free live stream on Facebook.com/UFC starting at 5:45 p.m. ET. The preliminary card is headlined by two alumni of The Ultimate Fighter: season 12 quarterfinalist Alex Caceres (who will take on Damacio Page in a bantamweight bout) and season 14 participant Josh Ferguson (who will face Chris Cariaso at flyweight). Other notables on the preliminary card include middleweight Rafael Natal - who puts his two-fight win streak on the line against Andrew Craig - and Brazilian submission specialist Junior Assuncao, who takes on Issei Tamura in a bantamweight bout.
The six-fight main card, meanwhile, can be viewed as free streaming video in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France and Germany, at UFC.TV (the fights are available as pay-per-view elsewhere, with the exception of the United States, Brazil and India, where the stream is blocked). Live streams are also available in France at Dailymotion.com/UFC and in Greece at Dailymotion.com/UFC_Greece
The main card is headlined by a five-round middleweight showdown between "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" Mark Muñoz and Chris "All-American" Weidman, which could potentially determine the No. 1 contender to Anderson Silva's UFC Middleweight Championship. Other featured bouts include a light heavyweight slugfest between Joey "The Mexicutioner" Beltran and James Te Huna and a bantamweight battle between The Ultimate Fighter runner-up T.J. Dillashaw and British submission specialist Vaughan Lee.
