Reminder: "UFC Primetime: Lesnar vs. Velasquez" special debuts tonight on Spike TV
A special UFC 121 edition of the "UFC Primetime" special debuts tonight on Spike TV at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
The debut of the three-part "UFC Primetime: Lesnar vs. Velasquez" series breaks down the upcoming title fight between UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and top contender Cain Velasquez.
That pay-per-view fight takes place Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
New episodes also air on Oct. 13 (11 p.m.) and Oct. 20 (9:30 p.m.).
Tonight's episode follows a new episode of "The Ultimate Fighter 12: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck," which airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Different from the UFC's traditional "Countdown" shows, "UFC Primetime" goes more in depth and focuses on some of the biggest fights of the year. The most recent "Primetime" special, for example, focused on the highly anticipated grudge match between former light heavyweight champions and opposing "The Ultimate Fighter 10" coaches Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, which took place in May at UFC 114.
The UFC 121 special follows the notoriously private Lesnar – who according to recent title challenger Shane Carwin actually declined to participate in a "Primetime" special focused on their epic clash – from his Minnesota-based camp as he prepares to defend his title for a third-consecutive outing.
And of course, Velasquez's work at American Kickboxing Academy will also be monitored as he looks to earn his ninth-straight win and claim the UFC's heavyweight title.
