As we at URDirt.com posted earlier in the week the UFC and Spike TV were in negotiations to make a deal to broadcast UFC 89: Bisping vs Leben on basic free cable October 18. UFC president Dana White has hinted on making an announcement tomorrow night during the re - broadcasting of UFC 84: ill Will. This announcement also comes on the heels of EliteXC "Saturday Night Fights" on CBS. This would be the first UFC event of 2008 with a card that is made for a pay per view since last September when the organization held UFC 75: Champion vs Champion with former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson taking on former Pride Welterweight Champion Dan Henderson in a unification bout as the main event. UFC 89 will be held at the new National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England. We will keep you posted on this developing situation as soon as we get confirmation on the announcement.
