Despite earlier reports that indicated otherwise, it appears that UFC 95, which is scheduled to take place from The O2 Arena in London, England, on February 21, will air for free on Spike TV in the United States via tape delay.

The promotion recently listed the long-rumored event on its official Web site along with the good news.

European-based pay-per-view (PPV) events historically don’t perform as well as others, which could be the reason the promotion was able to hammer out a deal with its cable television provider. It could also be the fact that the UFC has already booked the first quarter of 2009 with several shows.

Have a look at the early jam-packed schedule for the New Year:

UFC 93: “Franklin vs. Henderson” from The O2 in Dublin, Ireland, on January 17
UFC 94: “St. Pierre vs. Penn 2” from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 31
UFC Fight Night 17 from the University of Southern Florida (USF) Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla., on February 7
UFC 95 from the O2 Arena in London, England, on February 21
UFC 96 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on March 7
UFC 97 from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, on April 18
And those are just the ones we know about — more could be in the works … especially of the “Fight Night” variety.

UFC 95 currently features the highly anticipated lightweight debut of Diego Sanchez against Joe Stevenson in the main event of the evening. Middleweights Nate Marquardt and Wilson Gouveia are also expected to mix it up in an important division clash.

Stay tuned for more announcements … there’s another juicy 185-pound match up in the works. For more on the UFC 95 fight card and rumors click here.

Considering 92,93,and94 are all within 1 month thats a lot of PPV money so it'll be good to have a month without having to pay.
