Upcoming: Fight Night Diaz vs. Guillard and UFC 103

It’s rare that U.S. fans are treated to nearly back to back UFC events, but this week is one of those – filled with at least 11 televised fights. Interestingly, neither will be held in Las Vegas, the UFC’s home field for its live events.

On Wednesday, the UFC arrives in Oklahoma City with Nate Diaz vs. Melvin Guillard headlining a night of free Spike TV fights.
