MMA fans will certainly have their fair share of televised action to choose from this weekend. With Shine Fights broadcasting boxing bad boy Ricardo Mayorga vs. Din Thomas on pay-per-view, and Strikeforce bringing out the “Heavy Artillery” with Brett Rogers taking on heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem on Showtime, the UFC has decided to lob its own missile into the battle for viewers.

Saturday night, May 15, beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, Spike TV will air “UFC’s Ultimate Fights”, a special two-and-a-half hour telecast showcasing some of the UFC’s most explosive bouts of 2010. Included in the broadcast will be the epic battle between Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung which took place last month at “Aldo vs. Faber”.

Here is a complete list of the fights which will air on UFC’s Ultimate Fights” this Saturday:

  • Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir
  • Leonard Garcia vs. “The Korean Zombie”, Chan Sung Jung
  • Mark Munoz vs. Kendall Grove
  • Terry Etim vs. Rafael Dos Anjos
  • Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg
  • Nate Diaz vs. Rory Markham
  • Paulo Thiago vs. Mike Swick

Competition is the name of the game and the UFC is unleashing seven of 2010’s most memorable fights for the fans to enjoy – and to, make no mistake, hopefully cut into the number of people who tune into the other two televised events on Saturday.
