How Serious Is the UFC About July 19th?
Unlike all the UFC live events on Spike in the past, this will air live nationally. Normally UFC goes live in most of the country, but airs on a three-hour delay on the West Coast, so the show airs in a more favorable time slot and draws the most viewers, particularly since UFC’s popularity is strongest in the Pacific time zone. The entire Spike network staggers its feed, but for this night, UFC goes live out West at 6 p.m., so they are sacrificing all-important ratings points, in the markets they are strongest, so their show can go head-to-head, coast-to-coast with the Affliction show.

I’m in California, Comcast has it at 6pm local time.
Not only that, but Spike is showing nothing but UFC from 2pm up to the fight (Unleashed, Greatest Knockouts, & Countdown).

ahead of the game
I believe their doing it to show a high level fight presentation prior to the affliction show. This also allows for west coast MMA fans to see both show if they want.

![Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on December fight in Memphis against Rashad Evans.
Video from ComputerCowboyTV.
Also:
"UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com that a Memphis show will take place at the 19,000-seat FedExForum in 'early December,' but he declined to comment on the potential Evans vs. Jackson bout. [...]
"Ratner said the traditional year-end blockbuster, UFC 108, might instead take place Jan. 2 in Las Vegas."](http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/58303/default_small.jpg)
