The UFC and Spike TV are close to finalizing a deal that would put October's UFC 89 event on free basic cable — a week before the recently announced UFC 90 event that will likely air on pay per view.
A source close to the event tells MMAjunkie.com that the UFC 89 announcement is expected soon, though Spike TV today had no comment.
UFC 89 currently features a main event between Michael Bisping and Chris Leben, but there's a possibility a title fight could be added to the fight card.
