Tonight's UFC 134 card is headlined by Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami for the UFC middleweight championship. The co-main event features Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Forrest Griffin, two former light heavyweight champions fighting for relevance. Former UFC heavyweight champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will get to fight in his native Brazil for the first time in his storied career when he faces rising up-and-comer Brendan Schaub. Luiz Cane vs Stanislav Nedkov and Edson Barboza vs. The Ultimate Fighter winner Ross Pearson round out the main card.
All of those fights will be on the main Pay Per View card starting at 9 p.m. ET. I highly recommend ordering the HD version on SBN sponsor Comcast if you're in a Comcast region. The Yahoo PPV stream is an alternative if you don't have a cable provider or are outside the USA. UFC.tv features multiple camera angles, multiple audio feeds, real-time DVR controls and a whole bunch of other stuff I haven't had the chance to try out. The full fight card is also available via via the UStream platform (at a cost of $44.99) to view the entire fight card top to bottom.

If you want to go out to a bar to see the main pay per view card (and probably the Spike TV fights as well) the UFC has a searchable database of bars showing UFC 133 sorted by location at bars.ufc.com.
